Release a GPT-4 beating model; charge $30/mo.
That’s not aligned with their core ad model. But it’s a massive win in demonstrating to the world that they can do it, and it limits the number of people who will actually use it, so the hardware demand becomes less of an issue.
Instead they keep issuing free, barely functional models that every day reinforce a perception that they are a third rate player.
Perhaps they don’t know how to operate a ‘halo’ product.
Please no, another subscription? And it's more expensive than ChatGPT?
Can I just have Bard (and whatever later versions are eventually good, and whatever later versions are eventually GPT4 competitive) available via GCP with pay per use pricing like the OpenAI API?
Also, if I could just use arbitrary (or popular) huggingface models through GCP (or a competitor) that would be awesome.
Google keeps putting out press releases and announcements, without actually releasing anything truly useful or competitive with what it’s already out there
And not just worse than GPT4, but worse even than a lot of the open source LLMs/Chats that have come out in the last couple of months/weeks
