I can’t imagine how much money Google is losing right now. They do 8.5 to 13.7 billion searches a day (+1 because I just googled that). By forcing LLM first, they’ve got to be burning cash.
I wonder how many unique searches they do per day.
If you search something that someone else already searched recently, the AI response will pop up almost immediately due to caching. I can’t imagine that brings several billion down to a more manageable number though.
They use a smaller model for that so it’d be cheaper to run. If they ran their biggest version of Gemini or whatever, it would cost an order of magnitude more

But their “front facing” LLM is ultra stupid. Can’t become any kind of famous.
I am sure that it is strategic: show the huge difference to all paying customers.
