The AI Frontier: from Gemini 3 Deep Think distilling to Flash — Jeff Dean
Alessio FanelliShawn WangJeff Dean
Google’s strategy pairs frontier models that unlock new capabilities and teacher logits with Flash models that distill those gains into cheaper, lower-latency deployment across products such as Search.The economics depend on batching, sparsity, low precision, and TPU-model co-design, while expanding user workloads keep frontier demand alive; hierarchical retrieval and private modular systems remain key long-context and specialization challenges.
Jeff Dean & Noam Shazeer — 25 years at Google: from PageRank to AGI
Dwarkesh PatelJeff DeanNoam Shazeer
Google’s AI veterans argue that inference-time compute, algorithmic progress and automated research could drive a major capability and infrastructure expansion, with top labs holding perhaps a million times Transformer-era training compute.Gemini already generates roughly 25% of characters checked into Google’s codebase, while trillion-token context, modular architectures and TPU-scale serving point to durable infrastructure advantages; the pace of self-improvement and safety remain unresolved.
