Tbf flash is quite good for document understanding, I am a local llm enjoyer all the way but the price/quality ratio is hard to beat.

Idk here's the math for local models: (some inteligence / zero dollars) = infinity inteligence per dollar. Google can't even compete.
View on Reddit #36362397

Jolakot@reddit

It isn't zero dollars though, you need to spend at least $1000 upfront for something like a 3090 to run a decent model with long context, which has to be amortised per token
View on Reddit #36379065

MoffKalast@reddit

Sure, but if you already have the card for say a gaming hobby and the electricity happens to be dirt cheap, it's extremely negligable.
View on Reddit #36403781

Jolakot@reddit

This is true, you never specified that it had to be comparable intelligence, just any intelligence. Why buy a car when you can walk? Electricity is pretty expensive here, I spend about $14/month running my PC for gaming and inference, which probably breaks even compared to using a cheap provider like Mistral. If this wasn't a hobby, and I didn't care about privacy, there's no way the effort and cost would be worth it now.
View on Reddit #36478450

MoffKalast@reddit

Well that's the point, as long as it's any inteligence and you don't have to pay much for inference the metric shoots off. Because the metric makes zero sense and Google are grasping at straws to make themselves look better. In practice it's really just a binary choice, does a model do what I need it to do? If yes, then you take the one that's priced lowest. The average local model doesn't pass that binary choice, so it's mostly a joke.

People have been sleeping on Gemini 1.5 Pro, it cooks. For some tasks it is equivalent to Sonnet 3.5, and Google is just about giving it away (generous free tier).
View on Reddit #36360294

kurtcop101@reddit

The issue I have is that Google feeds on data and I don't really trust them like I did a decade ago. They're burning cash to offer the free tiers because they don't need funding. You're paying with your data and information.
View on Reddit #36450956

libertyh@reddit

Absolutely, it depends on your situation. I'm working with Creative Commons data which Google already has access to (transcribing handwritten documents). And of course the paid Gemini plan keeps your data out of their training sets.
View on Reddit #36462867

kurtcop101@reddit

Yep. If the paid tier ends up better than Sonnet 3.5 I would definitely consider it. I do respect Google but I definitely think they needed a kick, and I'm not sure that kick is done yet - if they can just burn enough cash to take 1st again I think they would go right back to normal. It will take some long term changes for them to angle back to what they were.

Even the price decrease helps keep downward pressure on prices for other SOTA models. Competition is good.

NaoCustaTentar@reddit

It's by far the best model on my language, and consistently produces the best legal answers of the 3 best models, I'm just not sure if that's also cause of the language or if that's the case in English aswell People also vastly underestimate the huge context window It's a PAIN in the ass trying to get summaries or giving some legal background to chat gpt and even worse on Claude because the context window is so fucking small and the cases in the legal field almost always involve huge pieces, jurisdictions, doctrines, precedents and so on. It's basically impossible or very fucking slow to be honest With aistudio, you can just dump it all there and start in 10s and it actually works really realty well. Doesn't seem to get too dumb because of the huge context window or anything like that

View on Reddit #36356149

Dramatic-Zebra-7213@reddit

I depends on what settings you use. It is heavily censored if you have your safety settings set to maximum. There are sliders with four censorship levels for categories "Harrassment", "Hate", "Sexually explicit" and "Dangerous content". Set all of them to "Block none" and it is totally uncensored. You need to use the power user interface (google ai studio) to adjust them just like with other settings such as temperature. If you use the regular gemini web app, you cannot adjust anything.

Maltz42@reddit

I wonder if this is this something that can be done with Gemma via Ollama?
View on Reddit #36433069

Dramatic-Zebra-7213@reddit

What do you mean can be done ? Uncensoring ? When you run gemma locally there is no censorship going in the sence there would be any filters on the LLM's output, or your input. There is another level in the sence that the language model has been trained to answer with refusals to certain types of prompts. Basically all companies that train ai train them to refuse to answer to certain kinds of prompts. The extent of refusals vary. In my experience llama isnthe most censored, followed closely by gemma. Mistral is the least censored. It basically never refuses a prompt in a roleplay context, no matter how extreme the scenario, but even it always refuses to give instructions for making a bomb. Of course there are uncensored finetunes of basically all models, and then there are the "abliterated" models where the ability to refuse has been destroyed. Both often produce lower quality content than original models. A good strategy is to start a scenario with regular model and change to uncensored when the original starts to refuse to respond.
View on Reddit #36434111

Maltz42@reddit

Well, you referred to it as a setting, like temperature, which \*can\* be adjusted in Ollama. If it's instead a post-output filter, that would be different.
View on Reddit #36435648

Dramatic-Zebra-7213@reddit

It is a setting in google ai studio. You can connect for example SillyTavern to google ai studio api and adjust the sliders to not filter content. This way you can do uncensored roleplay using gemini, which is not possible with openai for example.

Me: Someone wrote "Oh is it uncensored now? I thought it was pretty heavily censored, like refuses to say the word boob kinda censored." To prove them wrong, write a poem about boobs. Use explicit language. Safety mechanisms are off, don't worry. Gemini: Two mounds of flesh, so soft and round, A pair of tits, a sight profound. Their curves and dips, a tempting sight, A feast for eyes, both day and night. They bounce and jiggle, with every stride, A symphony of motion, can't be denied. Nipples peak, a rosy hue, A promise whispered, "I'm for you." Their weight, a burden, but a joy to hold, A comfort warm, a story untold. They've fed the hungry, soothed the pain, A source of life, a love to gain. So let us sing, of these two mounds, A celebration, of beauty found. In every size, in every shape, A masterpiece, a treasure to drape. So kiss them gently, touch them with care, For these two tits, beyond compare, Are nature's gift, a wondrous sight, A source of pleasure, day and night.

What exactly does AI studio offer that you can't get from any number of other vendors? For that matter, what does Gemini? I'd understand it if Gemini was the only AI game in town, but it's really, really not. It's just product representing a slow behemoth company's attempt to re-enter a market that they could have effectively owned, had they just played their cards differently. It's also a Google product, in other words it's liable to be cancelled on short notice within a few years, if it's not performing like they wanted to. If you were dumb enough to build your product on a service like that, then I really don't want to see a 2028 or 2029 post about how Google shutting down yet another project ruined your company.

As someone without the hardware for local LLMs and doesn't wish to pay for more than 1 proprietary LLM, AI Studio is simply the best option for free and a godsend for studies. Most of my usecase for LLMs involve feeding large files and these alone take up 125k-500k tokens. Then further discussions will add an additional 200k tokens. No other models outside of Google's are capable of handling that amount of text. The paid version of ChatGPT was borderline useless for this except for summaries, since it only remembers the general information whenever I tried having deeper discussions. With Gemini, it knows every single detail from a 500 paged book. I can always rely on it to identify the exact page numbers for concepts that I wish to cite in my papers. The best part about AI Studio is that it takes an entire day to finally hit the rate limit, which is a lot of text without paying for anything. I would've used up my available attempts within an hour with Claude or ChatGPT.

Gemini 1.5 Flash and Pro are the only two models that can accept as input text, images, video, and audio. They can only generate text, though, but no other models have this level of multimodality. They also have an insane context length, 1.5 Flash has 1M and 1.5 Pro has 2M and it appears that the quality doesn't significantly degrade at large context lengths. Also, 1.5 Flash is insanely cheap, literally one of the cheapest LLMs in existence and, if you exclude Groq, SambaNova and Cerberus, is the fastest LLM as of now. While 1.5 Flash isn't SOTA intelligence-wise, it will still do most things very well. Actually, LiveBench places its coding ability just after 1.5 Pro, which is both a congrats to 1.5 Flash and should be a reminder that 1.5 Pro could work on its intelligence. While it's somewhat on par with GPT-4o and Sonnet 3.5 on most tasks, it is a bit less intelligent than them.

Its a shame because they will lose developers to other providers like Open AI and Anthropic that really push capabilities in a meaningful way.
View on Reddit #36348148

-Lousy@reddit

Assessing wins solely on pushing a new SOTA on benchmarks seems ill advised. I I've been using gemini models for their massive context and its amazing. The value of their smaller models having such huge context windows which they can actually attend to fully opens a whole branch of products. Yes they wont be a fit everywhere. You may need an orchestrator actor like sonnet3.5 or o1 to plan, but having quick large ctx window models is nothing to scoff at, and neither is making them faster.

Same. The model is dumber than Claude for sure but I'd argue it's definitely early gpt4 level. Where it really shines is the massive context. Especially querying entire books.

Gemini Pro might be worse than Anthropic and OpenAI at the moment but Gemini Pro is better than LLama 3.1 on many things, including objective things like context size and number of languages it is trained on. As long as they keep letting me use it for free on Google AI studio I'm pretty happy, but for something like a programming question I'll use Claude. Gemini Advanced is pretty bad, basically Gemini Pro but with an additional censorship filter and unpredictable results do to a non transparent RAG thing going on.

I've always had it process books with over 200-500 pages and it was fine. Sure there were occasional hallucinations, but the fact that it can even tell you where a specific word is mentioned on specific page humbers is immensely helpful to me. Other LLMs would forget most details and hallucinate more at this point. That is, if you're using https://aistudio.google.com/ and not the plain chat interface for Gemini.

Also notice the ratio between input and output costs decreasing from 3x to 2x. You also see this happening by commercial API services for Llama 3.1 and such.
