You can still try it at https://chatjimmy.ai/, but it's running the rather outdated Llama 3.1 8B

That looks promising! As models become a commodity, this may turn out to be the real AI gold rush.

A question of course would be "is 15,000 tok/s Gemini better than 100 tok/s Opus 5"?

Depends what you do. We have certain tasks we spend money on where Gemini 4.6 definitely is better than Opus 5.

It's better for the billions of free users that Google serves.

Given how fast models are improving, burning the weights into actual ROM is prohibitively expensive if you need (or want) to replace the chip every couple of months.

The alternative is on-TPU flash for storing the weights.

Yes. We're still a ways off from this being ubiquitous, but I am convinced it's coming.
