It's hard to know if Google lacks the technical/organisational ability to make a good AI tool, or they have one internally but they lack the hardware to deploy it to all users at Google scale.

I wonder why they don’t just charge for it.

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.

Don't worry, now that all their employees will be communicating tightly in their open offices after they RTO, they will create a super high performance AI.
