Maintaining the old system doesn't count as an achievement; newcomers are desperately building new wheels, and the old system is a mess. Ecosystem fragmentation isn't without reason.

Reports reveal that Google's internal promotion bias only values contributions to new products, while maintenance and migration are considered worthless, leading to fragmentation of the AI ecosystem. The model side is divided into Pro/Ultra/Flash, the ecosystem side swings between Gemini and AI Studio, Workspace is separated from individual Google One. Development tools include Spark, Jules, with conflicts between old and new versions of Antigravity IDE, Gemini CLI deprecated, the relationship between Flow and Veo is unclear, Nano Banana incorporated into Gemini, search and research functions split into AI mode and NotebookLM.
