Major AI updates from Meta and Google-and a new era for AI-designed chips?
Briefly

Google's Gemini updates have introduced two new production-ready models, improving quality significantly with 7% performance increase and offering cheaper pricing for developers, ensuring better accessibility.
AI typically benchmarks aren't as useful as we would like them to be, yet Google claims robust gains with their latest Gemini models, impacting math, vision tasks, and more.
Simon Willison commented that Gemini 1.5 Pro is now even cheaper for consumers with significant token cost reductions, marking a competitive edge compared to GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
With rate limits increased to 2,000 requests per minute for Gemini 1.5 Flash, Google has enhanced application efficiency and reduced latency, facilitating better developer experiences.
