Gemini isn't too special , it's actually just comparable to deepseek / less than deepseek but it is damn fast so maybe forget gemini for true tasks.
Grok / gemini can be used as a deep research model which I think I like ? Grok seems to have just taken the deepseek approach but just scaled it by their hyper massive gpu cluster, I am not sure I think that grok can also be replaced.
What I truly believe in is claude.
I am not sure but claude really feels good for coding especially.
For any other thing I might use something like deepseek / chinese models
I used cerebras.ai and holy moly they are so fast , I used the deepseek 70 b model , it is still something incredibly fast and my time matters so I really like the open source way so that companies like cereberas can focus on what they do best.
I am not sure about nvidia though. Nvidia seems so connected to the western ai that deepseek improvements impact nvidia.
I do hope that nvidia cheapens the price of gpu though I don't think they have much incentive.
