Just got back from Google Cloud Next ’24. My head hurts — lots of cool stuff going on. Specifically:
I hear it’s all about GenAI. Specifically:
- New Gemini 1.5 preview — with > 1M token for context. That’s pretty amazing — you can basically feed the model the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy (<500k tokens), and prompt away. Crazy.
- Google workspace is getting the all-in AI treatment. They are calling it Gemini for Workspace (to consolidate the branding no doubt). The Google Vids app demos were very cool, as well as the simple photo animations. All at a-la-carte pricing. New revenue model.
- I still hate Vegas
More to come.
