Next-Gen Pro Models Match Prior-Gen Ultra Capability
AI development is compute-limited in serving rather than capability: Google ships Flash and Pro but not Ultra models because each generation's Pro reaches 80-90% of Ultra's capability while being far cheaper and faster to serve, and the next generation's Pro is made as good as the previous generation's Ultra but fast enough to use at scale.

“for each generation we feel like we've been able to get the Pro model at, I don't know, 80, 90% of Ultra's capability, but Ultra would be a lot more slow and lot more expensive to serve.”
