Google undercutting/subsidizing it's own prices to bite into Anthropic's market share (whilst selling at a loss) doesn't automatically mean Google is effective.
Everybody is subsidizing their prices.
But Flash is 1/8 the cost of sonnet and its not impressive?
Sure, for the launch. Until they start introducing ads, capping existing subscriptions and raising prices (on all products)
I think you are underestimating how much cheaper it is for Google to run the workloads compared to competitors. The hardware advantage is real.
