Gemini Omni Real-Time Video AI Demo Breaks the Internet - r/artificial

Real-time multimodal AI demos have gotten common enough that most no longer move the needle on r/artificial, but this one did: 58,000 upvotes and enough genuine enthusiasm from AI researchers in the thread to suggest a real step forward rather than another polished demo reel. The top comment, sitting at 8,400 upvotes, zeroed in on the response speed as the actual breakthrough. The subreddit picked up 2,000 new subscribers in the days after — people don't usually join a community over a single post, but this one pulled it off.
