This would also be a good time to congratulate @Devvrit_Khatri and @nileshgupta2797 who also recently obtained their PhDs. I am so glad to have served as their PhD advisor - all credit to them for becoming strong, independent and influential researchers. Congratulations!
Congrats @dvsaisurya on your successful defense! Its been a pleasure of my life to collaborate with you! @inderjit_ml @cho_jui_hsieh @Devvrit_Khatri

Heartiest Congratulations to @dvsaisurya on the high quality work he did for his PhD, spanning optimizers, architecture and sample efficiency. It has been my pleasure to be his PhD advisor, and I am absolutely thrilled that he landed with the good folks in @coreauto.

I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model. Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching. We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards. As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

We pushed 10M of Google's EmbeddingGemma 2 vectors from ~30GB of RAM down to ~0.4GB float32, 768 dims: ~30GB 1-bit TurboQuant: ~1GB (99% nDCG@10 kept) + MRL to 256 dims: ~0.4GB (94.5% kept with rescoring) 77x less RAM for a ~5% drop in quality! TurboQuant + MRL is magic 🪄
Meet EmbeddingGemma 2, our first natively multimodal open model for on-device embeddings. It expands beyond text to unify code, images, audio, and video in a shared 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 at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback. Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

Instead of mandating "independent evaluators" that favor the incumbent cartel, let's fine AI companies a percentage of their revenue whenever they commit cybercrimes.

Introducing Gemini 3.8, our best reasoning & coding model yet. By leveraging long-running agentic loops, we’re building on the momentum of 3.7 Flash from just three weeks ago to release two new 3.8 variants: Meet Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber 🧵

Incredible!
Matrix multiplication is the basic computational operation that powers modern computing (including AI). Yet, the theoretical fastest speed at which computers can multiply matrices (omega ω) is still unknown and has been a longstanding challenge for complexity theory and computer science. Today, we announce a new record for omega (ω<2.371177). This is the result of a great team effort between @GoogleDeepMind, our academic collaborators, and our Gemini-powered coding agent AlphaEvolve! 🧮 arxiv.org/abs/2608.16884v1

3.7 Flash brings a big jump in agentic performance and coding accuracy. To demonstrate, we set up a 3-agent team to autonomously train a robotics control model from scratch. We hope you like 3.7 Flash, and you can read more here: blog.google/innovation-and-a…

New numbers are up on ProgramBench: Gemini 3.5 Flash and 3.6 Flash. ProgramBench gives an agent a compiled binary + its docs and asks it to rebuild the entire program from scratch. No source, no decompiler, no internet. 3.6 Flash is Gemini's best showing yet. 🧵

Congratulations on your legendary tenure at Google and on your new endeavor @JeffDean. Thank you for being an amazing researcher and an even better human being. Interacting with you, even though it has been on a limited basis, has been a highlight of my (ongoing) time at Google.
Tomorrow will be my last day at Google after 27 years, and watching it grow from 25 people to 190,000+ has been an amazing journey. Below is a note I shared with many people internally at Google today. An excerpt is: It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you and to help build some of the most widely used and impactful products of all time. As a kid, I dreamed of helping build software that would be used by many people, and Google now has thirteen products used by more than a billion people (amazing!). Our work has had a tremendous impact in the world, and I have been lucky enough to collaborate and form friendships with many colleagues that I deeply admire, respect, and enjoy. It still brings me joy every time I see people out in the world using our products to find information, handle email, translate documents, watch videos, learn new things, navigate and understand the physical world, browse the web, use their phone, run large-scale computations on our infrastructure, ride in an autonomous vehicle, or perform complex tasks with the help of our AI systems. I hope you all share this sense of joy, because it is a shared accomplishment! Thank you to all of my colleagues at Google over many years! Now I'm excited to go start @DiscoLoopAI with my longtime friends and colleagues @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML, and @quocleix. (Updated post: slightly redacted to not have some personal info)

The goal Pelé called the most beautiful of his life was never filmed. Aug 2, 1959, vs Juventus, on Rua Javari. With @Google, we rebuilt it frame by frame. This time, the whole world can see it - goo.gle/pele . O gol que Pelé considerava o mais bonito nunca foi filmado. 2/8/1959, contra o Juventus, na Rua Javari. Em parceria com o Google, reconstruímos o lance quadro a quadro. Desta vez, o mundo inteiro pode ver em goo.gle/pele.
