ICYMI, DeepMind also has a Gemini model that is diffusion-based[1]. I've tested it a bit and while (like with this model) the speed is indeed impressive, the quality of responses was much worse than other Gemini models in my testing.

Is the Gemini Diffusion demo free? I've been on the waitlist for it for a few weeks now.

From my minor testing I agree that it's crazy fast and not that good at being correct

It took me a few weeks to get access. In the meantime Simon has a decent demo here
