About the diversification of foundation Models Hello, Here is my new paper about the diversification of foundation models and an analysis of a hypothetical Gemini 2.5 ecosystem: --- # **The Diversification of Foundation Models: An Analysis of a Hypothetical Gemini 2.5 Ecosystem** ## **Abstract** This paper examines a hypothetical future development in the artificial intelligence market: the June 2025 launch of a diversified Gemini 2.5 family of models by Google, including a new `Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite` tier. We posit that such a move would signal a critical maturation in the AI industry, marking a strategic shift away from monolithic, general-purpose models toward a modular, performance-differentiated ecosystem. By analyzing the drivers and implications of this hypothetical frameworkincluding concepts like on-demand reasoningthis paper explores how cost, latency, and application-specificity are becoming the central axes of competition. We argue that long-...
