Google’s Gemini hits #1 on the iPhone app store

    Predictions for next week?

    As GOOG bulls who powered through the bad sentiment the last 3 years, the two insanely in your face prevalent media narratives were as follows:

    1. Google search is illegal monopolies and must be broken up

    2. ChatGPT killed search it’s over

    Somehow these were both seen as true (?). Meanwhile search earnings double digit growth, nonstop since ChatGPT3.5 came out.

    DOJ trial ended popping (1)

    (2) looms still tho. Not sure if a simple App Store trend means much but what do yall think about the next months?

    1. It was really interesting to see how it is now #1 on iOS but checking earlier and still #42 on Google app store for android. I wonder what the reason is for that difference.

    2. I also subscribed gemini on Friday because I like to use it for writing and nanobanana. I wish they make great smart indoor speakers like a homepod competitor. For now, I love homepod mini and considering to buy homepod. I came across nest audio and they sound like crap.

      it’s just a trending app, AppStore have some weighted search algorithms. I believe Shrek is the top ranked film on netflix US atm… must be best film ever. /s

      I switched to Gemini myself some months ago, and didn’t know that many people did the same. Gemini is a much smarter model from my experience.

      Gemini’s use is exploding because Google has surpassed OPENAI in capability this year.

      It’s a company who clears over $100B competing against a company that operates at a 5-10B loss and needs constant equity infusions to stay in the race.

      Unlike OPENAI, Google designs its own chips, builds its own data centers and owns its software stack to train and run the models. That’s not even getting into the fact Google has 30+ years of history and data on providing people answers to prompts on the internet.
