When is Google coming out with an equivalent Gemini model?
They won't. They're focusing on different areas for their models.
I think googles been putting more of their money into super long context stuff, not powerful coding stuff. they've got 10million token windows for some internal stuff (Gemini 1.5 Pro Test), more research says meta is also in on the long context game (Llama 4 Scout)
Indeed when they are coming out with a model that is, say, gpt 5.5 or opus 4.8 grade. Gemini currently does not compete in the same class. I wonder what do they use internall at google. Surely not 3.5.
Google can't even give me the correct answer when I search anymore, give them time to figure out basic search first.
