OAI/Anthropic are racing against the clock to profitability so they are going all in on selling chat subscriptions/work integration+automating coding because it's the quickest and most obvious path to that. Google doesn't have that pressure, so they care less about how absolutely state of the art their model is vs how it integrates into their software. a good example of this is AI in search: it was absolutely fucking god awful a year ago, but now it's quite good.
the real question I guess is "why do they care about having their own model at all then", and I would wager that it's at least partially because they don't want to be dependent on China (the only option) for open source models. |

Date: February 11th, 2026 5:42 PM Author: t.rick o'treat panama google just needs to key up gemini to handle basic questions and searches that they eventually will replace their traditional search engine with. they need efficient, quick models, not necessarily the best.
claude, etc are trying to full on replace human capability with autonomous agents. gemini can do that as well with certain models, but it's not going to be their core offering. |
