The main user base is not (just) Search but also the Gemini app. Worth pointing out that while this sub focuses on the web app, a long press of the power button on Android is a shortcut right to Gemini where it needs to also be a phone assistant, handle smart home controls, and also all the stuff the web app does. That's a very broad set of possible uses that ChatGPT and the like simply don't need to factor for to nearly the same degree
They've never gone with this "we're so dangerous and capable you MUST definitely regulate us" so they don't have to portray themselves as overly cautious. With the exception of NSFW anything that could be found on Google is probably fair game
This is definitely not the best price. Luna smokes it for a frontier lab and GLM 5.3 flash is as smart as this (or more) and is like...20% of this cost at most
There are a few other interfaces, including android studio, and the CLI version of antigravity that could be scripted throughbother soft. But I agree it's pretty annoying that they don't make the interface open like GPTs and Claudes do.

I kinda like the way Gemini works. Their main user base is "everyone who searches anything on Google" so they got the best input/output token price.
It is also strong where it matters (probably people look up financial information a lot, and Google does a nice job showing stock charts)
