Our Flash models are workhorses that offer performance at a great price. So, we're shipping updates fast to get them in developers’ hands. And now just 3 weeks after launching 3.6 Flash, 3.7 Flash shows significant gains including in coding and agentic work. It delivers substantial improvements across software engineering, knowledge work, and web development, all with an introductory price at half the original cost of 3.6 Flash. We've gotten positive feedback from early users, including our own engineers using 3.7 in @Antigravity, and we’re excited for you to try it there. Also available via Gemini API in @GoogleAIStudio, Gemini Enterprise & more, full list and details here: blog.google/innovation-and-a…

Just shared some changes we’re making to the teams at @GoogleDeepMind. @DemisHassabis is stepping up to become Chair of @GoogleDeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet, in addition to leading @IsomorphicLabs. He’ll be able to dedicate his time and focus on shaping the future of AGI and scientific discovery. It’s work that is vitally important to Alphabet and humanity, and I can’t imagine a better person than Demis to do it. He’ll stay closely connected to Koray and the GDM teams. @Koraykv will become the SVP, @GoogleDeepMind, responsible for all aspects of model development, GDM research, and @Geminiapp & dev teams. Koray has been at GDM for 13 years and is a world-renowned expert in the field, starting our deep learning team and driving breakthroughs like WaveNet & DQN. GDM is in great hands! Excited for this next chapter. You can read my note along with the message Demis sent to @GoogleDeepMind here: blog.google/company-news/ins…

Hello. How are you? Thank you. I love you. Please. Some of the most frequently translated phrases of the past 20 years! Google Translate began twenty years ago with a mission to help people understand one another, regardless of the language they speak. What started as a small experiment has become a global tool that helps over 1 billion users every month. In that time Translate has evolved from simple pattern matching to true understanding. In 2006, it relied on statistical machine learning to look for patterns in small word clusters. By 2016, we pioneered a shift to neural networks to move beyond literal word-for-word translations, and today we’re using our powerful Gemini models to make Translate even more helpful. We are moving from text to fluid, real-time conversations. With our latest models, you can even use your headphones as a personal interpreter that preserves your original tone and cadence - it’s an amazing experience! One of the interesting things about AI is that as we make progress, we begin to take it for granted. If you met a person who could translate across a hundred languages faster than any human can, you would be so impressed. Today, one product does that for nearly 250 languages, and we kind of just shrug. Being able to say thank you in 250 languages is not something I take for granted. So to the 1 billion who use Google Translate - merci, dhanyavaad, arigatō, gracias, and thank you! Let’s see what the next 20 years will bring.
