Episode notes
Gemini 3 Is A Significant But Mixed Step Up
- Gemini 3 is, on paper, the best model to date and likely required a huge training run following scaling laws.
- Frank Downing and Brett Winton find Gemini 3 better on some tasks while ChatGPT leads on others, making comparisons task-dependent.
Nano Banana Pro Advances Multimodal Presentation
- Google released Nano Banana Pro that excels at synthesizing and presenting visual information, not just photorealistic images.
- Frank Downing calls Nano Banana Pro almost more impressive than Gemini 3 for compressing information into diagrams and slides.
Hybrid Architectures Could Drive Next AI Leap
- Future powerful AI architectures will likely combine transformer (language), diffusion (image/hallucination), and a strong memory/compression system.
- Brett Winton suggests this hybrid (left-brain/right-brain) plus memory is a plausible path toward more capable systems.
