But can it run Crysis?

Yes, 1M context window since Gemini 1.5 Pro first previewed in February 2024.

Google's announcement is also confusingly written, but I believe your interpretation to be mostly correct as best I can tell.

There's a lot of added complexity because of the <1M plan which isn't new, which put the cut at 15% for under 1M of revenue. Also if you participate in whatever these confusing programs are transactions from brand new installs of your app will be only 20% but transactions from existing installs (before the change) will be 25%...

Ugh

That's incredible, so Stripe at 3% plus $0.30 per transactions must be losing money hand over fist!

Because they're moving it to Azure and doing it far too quickly, not taking care to avoid availability issues
