Here's my conversation with @sundarpichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet.
I've gotten to know Sundar over the past 2 years. His life story and approach to leadership are truly inspiring. So this conversation was a pleasure and honor for me 🙏
We're living through the most exciting period of technological innovation in human history. And Google & Alphabet are at the center of it. This chat made me even more excited for the future!
Oh, and they just now released a new model (gemini-2.5-pro-preview-06-05) that's the new state of the art at #1 on lmarena 🤯
Full conversation is here on X and is up everywhere else (see comment).

if you think open-source models will beat gpt-4 this year, you're wrong.
i worked at top ai research labs (google ai) and built open-source libraries with > 5M monthly downloads.
gpt-4 is one year old and so far, no model matches it, here's why:
1. talent - openai recruited top ai engineers with salaries > $1M
2. data - massive proprietary chatgpt dataset and human annotated data
3. team structure - in-person centralized teams work better than decentralized open-source teams
4. model vs product - gpt-4 is not just a model, it's a product, you can't beat it with a better model
5. infrastructure - public cloud infra is terrible compared to what google/deepmind/openai has. hard for open-source teams to iterate at the same speed.
disagree?
@NewsBFM Selfish ignorant band who clearly has no respect for other country law. You took the payment and did your nonsense. You made other bands lose their opportunity to perform. Clearly damage people.
