Everyone loves to hate the algorithm but this is obvious

Yes Catalan is coming after Spanish

I'm saying complementary, not replacement. Like at-home homework being a private tutor instead.

I'm not so sure, I think it could go the other way. The vast majority of support cases should be handled in an automated way. I had an issue with Vercel recently where I argued that a bill was incorrect, and the agent produced and offered a refund by itself - that was interesting.

You obviously need humans but they can be freed up to deal with the more complicated cases.

They mention Speak in the blog post but don't show their demo. On Speak's blog post, that demo is way better: https://www.speak.com/blog/live-tutor-lessons-powered-by-ope...

Yeah my current approach till now has been ElevenLabs Scribe v2 transcription, then feed that to Gemini Live. The latency isn't too bad, but it's definitely there.

When you use ChatGPT Live it's instant which is great, although the realtime transcription still kinda sucks, especially if you're a newcomer to the language so you're making mistakes. I'll constantly get responses to something it thinks I said but I didn't say, which is a real hard blocker for a language learning app.

I think what I'll land on is Scribe v2 (the full thing, not realtime) transcribing turns - it is exceptionally accurate for this - and then just feeding that text direct to GPT Live.

I've been waiting for this! I'm learning Spanish so I built an app to teach me Spanish, but hyperfocused on scenarios in my life, for example "watching a Barça match in a Barcelona bar". It does FSRS flashcard training, and live conversation practice.

I think education is a very underexplored area for these live conversation models. Yes you can just use ChatGPT Live but that's freeform and unstructured, doesn't have a curriculum or can present supporting visuals, etc. On a grand scale if you can give children their own personal individual tutor rather than relying on group teaching alone, there could be a huge jump in successful education outcomes.

I disagree

That feels like an exceptionally niche use case

What do you want to do on your iPhone that you can't do now?

Uh they're literally just saying they brought it down from the Pro to the regular line. I don't know why you're reading too much into it.

No

This was literally my first experience of programming. Applying phpBB mods. We have lost the ancient texts.

Yes

Yes in the year 1999

Yet completely wrong

Deeply funny that one of their examples in the video is changing a background colour on Google Slides

Web Search doesn't have a discount on contributor pricing

How is it not SOTA? It's beating 5.6 Sol.

You know you can just... change this right? What a weird thing to cancel over. I have in my global CLAUDE.md something to the effect of I have ADHD and give me succinct responses with headings and lists etc, works great.

They just do whatever your local country calls it. The name changes based on where you are.

The website tells me absolutely nothing about what makes this new or unique

I assume they're talking about Gemini Live?

Not really a surprise given their own models are the default option? Most people wouldn't change model. And if you want to use Claude or GPT you don't really have a reason to use Cursor over Claude Code or Codex

Well yeah, hence why they started making their own

Interesting, that doesn't line up with the input/output costs listed on Artificial Analysis?

Still more expensive and worse performing than ElevenLabs Scribe, unfortunately. Not sure who's the target audience for this.

Competitive advantage why? Will it really make them more money? They already have Google Cloud.

All Google has to do is build a model that works good enough for the Gemini app and for Spark. And they have it.

That's what they said. They might raise a criminal complaint.
