Summary: Today I covered some fascinating developments in the AI world, starting with the revelation that Gemini 3 was built using Google's own TPU chips rather than Nvidia's GPUs. This is huge because Google basically just told the entire industry they don't need to be dependent on Nvidia anymore, whilst everyone else is begging Jensen Huang for more chip sets. They've built a state-of-the-art model on their own hardware, which gives them control of the entire vertical from chips to applications. That's a proper moat.
I also looked at Nvidia's earnings call, which showed they're still doing remarkably well despite Google's TPU flex. Then we touched on OpenAI's new coding model release, which conveniently came right after Gemini 3's launch and highlights an area where Gemini apparently still struggles.
Finally, I covered the increasingly personal spat between Gary Marcus and Yann LeCun, which has escalated from academic bickering to outright accusations of plagiarism. The whole debate touches on fundamental questions about how we'll actually achieve AGI—pure scaling versus hybrid approaches—and it's getting quite nasty.
