Curious to see the API pricing. SOTA performance across tasks at a price cheaper than GPT 5 / Claude would make mostly everyone switch to Gemini.


Same here. They have been aggressively increasing prices with each iteration (maybe because they started so low). Still hope that is not the case this time. GPT 5.1 is priced pretty aggressively so maybe that is an incentive to keep the current gemini API prices.


Bad news then, they've bumped 3.0 Pro pricing to $2/$12 ($4/$18 at long context).


can you provide some example queries that Gemini in search gets wrong?


I just found another one:

> A depsipeptide is a cyclic peptide where one or more amide groups are replaced by ester groups.

Depsipeptides are not necessarily cyclic, and I'd probably use "bond" instead of "group".

These errors are happening all the time.


How is the Token/second calculated? I ask it a simple prompt and the model generated a 150 word (about 300 tokens?) answer in 17 seconds, then mentioning the speed of 408T/s.

Also, I guess this demo would feel real time if you could stream the outputs to the UI? Can this be done in your current setup?


Are you using Private channels and 1:1 chats as training data?


thant's somehting I mentionned in some of my previous answers- this can have both positive and negative impact on the contextual intelligence of your bot, so we're now playing around with that and trying to see if that doesn't have any negative impact on the context-awareness. Do you believe chat-memory incorporation into the context it's something people would need?


prompt: "what do my employees really think about me?"


that would be a good one :)) That's why we don't add chat memory for the moment :)))


hey, we are not learning from slack history. The Slack bot takes your knowledge base as the input (markdown, docs etc) and answers the queries asked by the user.


Other comments give lots of examples of organizational complexity.

Here is an example of code complexity: Changing an object from enum to String is trivial to do in a small codebase. Making this small change in a live system like Youtube becomes a 6 month long migration with multiple SWEs working on it, when you have to do it in a codebase with 10s of millions of lines of code.

A lot of complexity comes from code size, multiple teams may end up creating duplicating products/services if there is no standardization etc.


Telco man here... Lengthening the site identifier from six to ten digits was an 18 months project impacting 120 applicative systems - not even counting the vast grey territories of regexes and office macros.

We are powerful, but setting ourselves in motion takes quite a bit of pre-heating !


Why did this plane not have a copilot? Usually there are 2 people flying a plane?


This wasn't an airliner.


Looks like Facebook image store is having issues. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp use the same image store, so all the services are affected.


However image metadata service seems to be up, this is what I see for most images on FB now.

I'm pretty sure this data is kept in MySQL and memcached.


My concern there is my understanding has always been that WhatsApp implements end to end encryption through the Signal protocol, how can images be stored and be considered end-to-end encrypted? So are only text messages end-to-end? Ignoring logs being uploaded to the cloud.

I wouldn't send any sensitive pictures over WhatsApp then.


Because the actual data for those images, that is stored on Facebook's media servers, is just a blob of ciphertext. Only the sending and receiving clients actually have the keys, not the servers.


E2E encryption doesn't mean P2P networking. Data still flows through servers.


Probably blob store, not just image store.


Could also be a networking issue.

If network capacity is severely reduced, the bulk static content (images/media) is what you'd switch off first.

The fact it's global makes that unlikely tho.



That’s also what it looks like to me. The services themselves work and are responsive here. But oh boy, images have been down for the longest time now for being top websites.


On Instagram, ad posts still fully display. Would that be a different image store or delivery?


Probably a good opportunity for more people to realize that all three services belong to the same company.


It’s common knowledge.


For HN readers sure
