Any risks in terms of using it on gcp/azure?
Want to hijack this someone made experience recently with https://ducklake.select/ ? We need to setup a warehouse soon and this looks enticing.

What’s the best way to get this hosted with eu residency?

Also just want to let my appreciation here for 3.7 it’s cheap super fast super reliable incredible at information parsing eu host able (important for us) and perfectly integrated into gcp. Great job google!
I don’t get it we are paying at least hundreds or maybe thousands per month on ai costs. Just get a regular vm ?

Sadly I think the correlation between this benchmark and performance is starting to break down imo. Still a legendary idea will be remembered and ingrained in the models forever haha

Honestly happy he’s back at a foundation lab. He will have insane impact there. Of course one of the best educators in the world it’s a bit sad he gave up building and education tool.

Ai in my mind is a new primitive of computing, like compute a db blob storage.

There is a great recent episode of latent space about a similar topic it’s worth a watch even with the click baiti thumbnail and title https://youtu.be/9d899Ram9Bs?is=pQMoVmlWVsTNKfRK

What’s the default context window? Seems extremely short.
Re:If DSPy is so great, why isn't anyone using it? on Monday March 23, 2026 @11:46AM (#47491115)
Main reason to me is that its layers on layer on top of the base LLM calls with not so much to show for it. Also a lot of native features (like for examples geminis native structured responses) aren't well supported.
Because we are incapable of measuring developer productivity.
Re:Andrej Karpathy talks about "Claws" on Saturday February 21, 2026 @06:35AM (#47099822)
Im honestly not that much worried there are some obvious problems (exfiltrate data labeled as sensitive, take actions that are costly, delete/change sensitive resources) if you have a properly compliant infrastructure all these actions need confirmations logging etc. for humans this seemed more like a neusance but now it seems essential. And all these systems are actually much much easier to setup.

Please I need 3 in ga…
Local really has a strange meaning when most of what these things do is interact with the internet in an unrestricted way

It’s just fake accounts being created the bot network has a bot problem haha
Re:Moltbook on Friday January 30, 2026 @12:05PM (#46826931)
There is son much personal info in here it’s wild.
Hmm so that post also links back to segmentation done by structured outputs? (Though here not even enforcing the structure)

https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-understanding#se...

Oh I didn’t know about the visual bounding boxes this is super cool!

Quick question are you talking about this feature?

https://docs.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/b...

Because it’s just using structured response so it should be doable with Gemini 3 ? (We are using Gemini 3 for some docs processing and its visual understanding is just incredible)

It’s funny how every podcaster/public ai figure is so certain text as a Ui will go away and it’s not going anywhere.

3 flash is also insanely good even slightly outperforms 3 pro for me.

Super excited about this generally ok satisfied with pyright but so I was with conda before uv or black before ruff.

I see this, a hot take form my side as someone who is bought in to GCP i quite like being able to put everything on the same billing account / handle it easily through service accounts.
Re:Gemini 3 Pro: the frontier of vision AI on Saturday December 06, 2025 @05:44AM (#46172257)
2.5 pro is already excellent at this.
Now compare on free cash flow
Re:Building a Durable Execution Engine with SQLite on Saturday November 22, 2025 @05:15AM (#46013616)
Yep fully agreed the main thing is to break apart the systems so any retries don’t lead to issues like you mentioned.

I do still think there is sufficient amount of boilerplate to potentially justify some engine like this.
