I wrote a blog post about it (with memes). See 🧵

Wrote up my initial impressions of the new Google Gemini 2.0 Flash model - it's really good, and the streaming mode (where you can stream video and audio to it and get audio streamed right back) is pure science-fiction https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/11/gemini-2/

Ever noticed that the attention mechanism in transformers is essentially a two-layer MLP? 🤔
A(q, K, V) = V @ softmax(K / √d @ q)
Weights: K / √d and V
nonlinearity: softmax

TIL about a Jupyter notebook alternative. Some features sound very exciting:
* no hidden state, deterministic execution
* execute as a Python script, parametrized by CLI args
* git-friendly: notebooks are stored as .py files
Have you tried it? How is it? github.com/marimo-team/...
