Their rationale might be that it’s size and intelligence are growing relative to the market.

Fwiw it’s beating Claude Sonnet in most benchmarking (benchmaxxing?), yet they’ve priced it almost half off on a per token basis.

Question is are you going to persuade anyone with this argument?

Are there many devs at Google who legit prefer Gemini over Claude and Codex? Would love to hear about that.

A few weeks ago, Steve Yegge claimed he'd heard that Google employees are banned from using Claude & Codex.

A number of Googlers replied to say that was totally false, including Demis Hassabis, but they were all on the DeepMind team.

This person here claims they left Google because of the ban, and because the ban applied outside of Google work as well:
