No, I'm aware and that's my point. They made it but they refused to do it. Google already had conversational models (note: not necessarily language models) running in production. (GC Conversational AI, Translate Conversational Mode, Conversational Search, etc).

It's not like Google tinkered with language models and forgot about it, like Kodak and digital photography.

Again, they are intentionally not releasing it because of reputation risk and how it disrupts their ads business.

This is a code red.

Not because of tech but because a direct challenge to how a search engine monetizes ads.

They need a new business model.

nope, not why. read Pathways. they're working on it, but it doesn't scale to Google's needs yet.
