Thanks for having me on Alex - great conversation! [Quoting @Kantrowitz]: New: I spoke with @sundarpichai about Google's commitment to the AI frontier, how close we are to RSI, balancing DeepMind's compute needs vs. Google Cloud profits, and much, much more.…
Sound on! [Quoting @GoogleDeepMind]: Gemini 4 Argon built a 3D periodic table synced to Tom Lehrer’s song, “The Elements.” Created in @Antigravity, it animates orbiting electrons, atomic data, and light spectra.
Since launching in 2021, our Android Earthquake Alerts System has sent 1B+ alerts. Now we’re expanding the system from 98 to nearly 200 countries and regions. Proud how this technology can help in moments that really matter. As one example, when the devastati…
I have to admit, watched this a few times, especially to the end:) the creativity in the prompting and the model is awesome to see [Quoting @fofrAI]: Argon has this amazing natural understanding of the world. It can do so many things from first principles. He…
Good summary of our security and alignment work for Argon 4. [Quoting @ancadianadragan]: We did a lot to understand Gemini 4's capabilities and propensities, and to improve our mitigations for this launch -- you can get a tl;dr here and dive into the report
Today @TheLancet published our AMIE study with @BIDMC_Medicine, the first prospective study of patient-facing conversational diagnostics in a real clinic. AMIE is a research system people can chat with before doctors appointments. Testing AMIE outside the lab…
Great to be with 700+ @googlecloud customers at the historic NASA Hangar One for Gemini at Work! Today, we introduced the new Gemini agent, a single, universal agent for work that has all of your business context and answers your questions, handles your know…
Introducing EmbeddingGemma 2, a new open multimodal model that sets the standard for on-device efficiency. - our first open, natively multimodal embedding model - handles text, code, image, video, and audio tasks within a lightweight, modular 740M parameter f…
In a busy week, SynthID Bio, our watermarking tech for AI-designed proteins, was a big big step forward for scientific integrity and biosecurity! Congrats to the team @GoogleDeepMind [Quoting @GoogleDeepMind]: SynthID Bio is our new family of watermarking met…
I remember the first meeting where the team pitched the idea of putting compute in space - exciting idea! Today's successful launch with our partner @planet prototype satellite shows how far we've come...and how far there is to go. Thanks for the lift, @Space…
Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon! It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively…
Great to meet today with @POTUS, @JDVance, @SpeakerJohnson and Administration + tech leaders. Important conversation and we signed today the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. As I shared today, Google has invested hundreds of billions in the last two…
Meta launches Muse, smart glasses; US-China stress human control of AIIn this week's consumer tech roundup, Meta launched Muse and smart glasses; Chinese and US leaders stressed AI should remain "under human control" during a summit; Qualcomm unveiled Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and Trump is set to meet tech executives on AI oversight.
Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out. Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet One small step for TPUs....
Feeling good about this one:) [Quoting @ssamat]: Googlebook is officially here! I’ve been so excited to share the details with the world. Today, many of us rely heavily on laptops to get work done, but we think there is an opportunity to rethink the category…
Today we have set out how we’re building AI to accelerate science and improve people’s lives. Just some examples in the last week or so: - Mapped all 9B possible single letter genetic changes across the human genome with AlphaGenome Atlas and made it openly a…
AlphaGenome Atlas is an interactive resource, mapping the predicted impact of all 9 billion DNA variants. It works in a regular web browser, without any coding required, and is free for academic researchers. Excited for the discoveries to come. [Quoting @Goog…
