A repost points out that just months ago, Demis publicly claimed that China's open-source progress was heavily exaggerated. Yet now, Gemini has been delayed again, and its capabilities are being outpaced by a model developed by a team of only 300 people with far less compute.
The core takeaway is that major tech companies might not be as untouchable in model iteration and practical capabilities as the public perceives.
