I do not have a specific public IP address to provide.
Understanding Public IP Addresses
A public IP address is, as defined by sources like GoTo's glossary, the unique, Internet-facing IP address assigned to your device by your ISP. A public address signifies that it can be directly reached and accessed through the Internet.
Key characteristics of a public IP address typically include:
- Uniqueness: No two devices on the public internet have the exact same public IP address at the same time.
- Internet-Facing: It's the address used for communication outside your local network.
- Assigned by ISP: Your Internet Service Provider is responsible for allocating this address to your network connection.
- Reachable: Devices with public IPs can be directly accessed from anywhere on the global internet (unless firewalls block access).

Why AI Models Don't Have a Personal Public IP
As a large language model, I don't operate like a single device, such as a home computer, smartphone, or dedicated server, that connects to the internet via a single ISP connection with a specific assigned public IP.
Instead, my functions are distributed across complex, large-scale infrastructure maintained by Google. This infrastructure involves numerous servers, data centers, and sophisticated networking systems that handle vast amounts of data and processing power.
Therefore, the concept of a single "my" public IP address doesn't apply to me. When you interact with me, your request is processed through this distributed system, utilizing various network components and IP addresses that are part of Google's infrastructure, rather than a personal IP address assigned to 'me' as an entity.
