Tell HN: Google increased existing finetuned model latency by 5x

Since 5 days ago, the latency of our Finetuned 2.5 Flash models has suddenly jumped by 5x. For those less familiar, such finetuned models are often used to get close to the performance of a big model at one specific task with much less latency and cost. This means they're usually used for realtime, production use cases that see a lot of use and where you want to respond to the user quickly. Otherwise, finetuning generally isn't worth it. Many spend a few thousand dollars (at a minimum) on finetuning a model for one such task.

Five days ago, Google released Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3.0 Image Preview) to the world. And since five days ago, the latency of our existing finetuned models has suddenly quintupled. We've talked with other startups who also make use of finetuned 2.5 Flash models, and they're seeing the exact same, even those in different regions. Obviously this has a big impact on all of our products.

From Google's side, nothing but silence, and this is talking about paid support. The reply to the initial support ticket is a request for basic information that has already been provided in that ticket or is trivially obvious. Since then, it's been more than 48 hours of nothingness.

Of course the timing could be a pure coincidence - though we've never seen any such latency instability before - but we can all see what's most likely here; Nano Banana Pro and Gemini 3 Preview consuming a huge amount of compute, and they're simply sacrificing finetuned model output for those. It's impossible to take them seriously for business use after this, who knows what they'll do next time. For all their faults, OpenAI have been a bastion of stability, despite being the most B2C-focused of all the frontier model providers. Google with Vertex claims to be all about enterprise and then breaks product of their business customers to get consumers their Ghibli images 1% faster. They've surely gotten plenty of tickets about this, and given Google's engineering, they must have automated monitoring that catches such a huge latency increase immediately. Temporary outages are understandable and happen everywhere, see AWS and Cloudflare recently, but 5+ days - if they even fix it - of 5x latency is effectively a 5+ day outage of a service.

I'm posting this mostly as a warning to other startups here to not rely on Google Vertex for user-facing model needs going forward.

I built Jelly: an SSH-only social space (no passwords, no emails)

Hey everyone. I’ve been building a small experiment and wanted to share it.

Jelly is a social space you join entirely through SSH. No web, no app, no login flow. Your SSH public key is your identity.

I wanted something that felt like early internet communities. Simple, no algorithms, no rage-bait, no scraping, no AI content. Just people talking in real time from the terminal.

What it currently does

Join with: ssh jellyssh.xyz

If you don't have a key: ssh-keygen -t ed25519

Public keys auto-create accounts

Global feed with real-time updates

Hashtags become channels (top 5 active topics)

ASCII profile pictures + profile themes

Guestbooks / Top 8 (MySpace nostalgia)

TUI built with Bubble Tea

SSH server powered by Wish

sqlite backend, no tracking or analytics

No passwords, emails, or personal data stored

It’s very early and rough around the edges, but stable enough to try. Still tightening up input handling, rate limiting, and crash-proofing.

If you check it out, I'd love your thoughts/feedback. It’s just me building this and I’m figuring it out as I go.

ssh jellyssh.xyz

Thanks for reading.

Show HN: Free client-side image compressor (privacy-first, no uploads)

Hi HN,

I built this because I was tired of uploading my personal photos to third-party servers just to compress them. I wanted a tool that respects privacy by doing everything 100% on the client side.

It runs entirely in your browser (no data leaves your device), so there are no file size limits or upload wait times. It currently supports bulk compression for JPG, PNG, and WebP.

The larger suite of tools I'm building at ToolboxNest. I'd love to hear your feedback on the compression quality and the UI!
