Google is releasing ANOTHER tool with a free tier. The insane amount of money they are burning letting everyone use their models for absolutely free is nuts.

If the service is free, you are the product.
Sometimes, and that’s the case here since they say in the privacy policy they’re allowed to train on your chats. But even still, Google is dumping massive amounts of money into providing free usage to get market cap
This is the way for Google to acquire the data they need that OpenAI already has. Why not pay for it? There's enough cash on hand.
True, but with so many free products they keep pumping out, there's no way they're making their money back. A few weeks ago it was Jules, then Veo, then Gemini free for all students, and now Gemini CLI.
google is a $2 trillion company. It's not about money, it's about trying to catch up on AI.
Nah, to sell it to advertisers and government agencies.
Very true, it just amazes me how much money they're willing to burn through to catch up.
