I wouldn't be surprised if multiple nation-states already had them without calling them such because 'Look, someone pushed a button 3 hours ago before it engaged'. Once the private capital gets their hands on them, we immediately transition to cyberpunk no matter what else happens in the world.

Perhaps that is the true measure that the author found, and humans have actually been winging it since the inception of programming? ;)

Are you sure the capital-enabled won't abolish us for trying to do so?

OK, but are you able to put an order on 100+ brand-new hauls if you're just starting out without the enormous capital to back you?

Many people, myself included, will gladly be 'hurt' on a 2-3 hour flight, if that means we can save some noticeable amount of money on the fare.

In my experience, the congestion data is not the issue: even with the split across Google / TomTom / Here / Apple / some hyperlocal alternatives, everyone seems to have reasonably good idea where the traffic jams are. Having up to date POIs is a different can of worms only solved by Google, not by some clever algo, but through the sheer brand recognition. They're the only ones that have this data fed to them by POI owners.

I believe they'll get profitable sooner than their frontier competition. Their operating costs seem to peanuts compared to the providers they're compared to most often while having the local advantage of not being Chinese nor American.

How do you feel about the responsiveness of gemini-cli? I tried it on a paid plan and the 10-minute hang-ups (per step, not the whole plan execution) really break the illusion of performance gains, unless you run it in the background and do something else in the meantime. It's more noticeable when Americans are awake.

Couple of years ago I was (as a human being, not my career span) 20. Spare for the usual StackOverflow / blog snippets, that was my experience and I suppose most of those just starting out. I think it's very recent to have fresh grads that barely type code themselves.

GeminiCLI is absolutely terrible, nothing comparable to the browser access. I've started using the 'AI Pro' tier lately and I get 15 minutes response times from Gemini 3 'Flash' on a regular basis.

'Coolest'? I guess this could also be said for drugs, but I don't see it as a benefit.

That's akin to being grateful for your local shop owner that they allowed you to sweep the floor for other customers.

Most of the new culture and website contents is under full copyright. How much of an obstacle was that to these companies?

They've had ample access to the final output - our code, but they still hope with enough data on HOW we work they can close the agentic gap and finally get those stinky, lazy humans that demand salary out of the loop.

Quite simply, that's just a matter of the corporate internal policy and its (lack of) enforcement. This problem is just a subset of the wider IP breach with some people happily feeding their work documents into the free tier of ChatGPT.

That's one of the possible benchmarks, not the only one. Being 59th there, on a list enriched with every variation of Model_Name X.Y (March 2025 Preview) Pro-Thinking, translates to being in the top 10 providers worldwide which is a very interesting mark of failure considering that coincidentally they're also number 1 from their economic area. If you don't know why the last part is important, go read some news.

> Its bottom floor for LLMs.

What? That's just demonstrably false. The market doesn't consist of 5 providers.

danelski

That post mostly concerned infrastructure, you won't likely run the same managed DB with 2 different providers, for example, but you can well offer sign-in with EU/non-EU options, and as long as the first one is viable, I'd say that would already be a win in terms of OP's goals.

Did you try to register VAT-free by any chance? My first guess would be that you could have set the tax region wrong.

> They know everyone in the world will never pause when they see their logo on the buttons.

As in, that they won't run away when they see them or that they will all happily use them? If you mean the latter, then it's just false. Also, why do you assume that such product would need to be used worldwide all of a sudden? Having something for the local market would be sufficient to call it a success in this instance. There's an ICC judge who could tell you a thing or two about having a whole digital life on the hook of services from one country, so reducing this dependency is a clear benefit.
