How Nano Banana Saved Google

Which product do you think actually saved Gemini, AKA Google? What book saved Gemini? Yeah. What product? Product? I I don't know what you mean. I'll I'll just I'll just the data. I'll show you where I'm going with this. So when you look at the launch of Nano Banana, that's when Gemini's monthly active users grew from 350,000,000 to 650,000,000 by by October. So this one guy, so this is Josh Woodward. He's the head of Google Labs, and he said, basically, once they launch Nano Banana, their TPU is almost melted. It was getting so much usage. And, I think really it's not even just Nano Banana. Everything that we're launching, notebook l m, all the upgrades, they were hitting it hard on social too. They built all these separate x accounts, and they're firing on all cylinders. And so, when you look at a Google send in October that the Gemini's apps monthly active users swelled to 650,000,000 from 350,000,000. And you look at all the benchmarks, all these things, they're just they are number one right now in my mind, which is what you predicted a few years ago. So They have too much data. They have a great engineering team. I don't think that Google's gonna crush chat g p t where they don't exist. I think they're all gonna coexist, but I do think Google will be the leader. Yeah. AI overviews, by the way, which uses generative AI to summarize answers to queries, has 2,000,000,000 monthly users. I don't like how they call those users. It's just you know what I mean? But, OpenAI said in October that chatty bitty hit 800,000,000 users per week. So food for thought. I think there's gonna be different players in this. And, I was listening to some AI people talk about this recently, but they feel like LLMs are one of the guys is, like, LLMs just like they're just like gas stations. They're very commoditized. You could use this gas station, use this gas station, like, whatever. Did I ever tell you this story of when I was heathin' at heathin's house and it really made me realize how Gemini was gonna win? No. I was talking to my, niece. You're talking to your niece about this. Go ahead. Okay. So I'm I'm sitting watching TV. We're watching Home Alone. This is, like, you know, call it a month or so. It was actually in December, early December. K? Sitting, watching Home Alone at night. My niece, Aria, is sitting next to me, and she's doing her homework and she's using AI. And she's like, everyone does it. The teachers even know that we use AI. I was like, okay. So then I'm like, she's using Google, and she's using AI mode. Alright? You can call it whatever you want. I could just call it all Gemini because it's all pulling from the same source code from my understanding. Right? And I was like, why …
