🚀 Gemini 2.5 FLASH is LAUNCHED. This is the latest workhorse model with configurable thinking capabilities. Key features include: - Ability to dynamically think on complex tasks - Configurable thinking budget (decide how many tokens to allocate to "thinking".

Alpha release of the Google Trends API can be powerful food for agents
Here's my conversation with @demishassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, all about the future of AI & AGI, simulating biology & physics, video games, programming, video generation, world models, Gemini 3, scaling laws, compute, P vs NP, complexity, energy (solar & fusion), and much…
There's nothing more cringe than the IBM AI commercials I see during Wimbledon 😬
Our latest Gemma 3n model pushes the boundaries of multimodal AI, natively understanding and processing information from images, audio, and more. See Gemma 3n in action 🧵↓
Last week, we shared a refresher on our favorite Flow features. Today, we're doing a deep dive into prompting with a few tips on how to craft the optimal prompt, create your dream video, and #FindYourFlow 🕺 Clearly identify your characters or objects and describe their…

Even more news today... 🙌 DeepSeek R1 Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) is now available in Vertex AI Model Garden (Public Preview). That means you can use it right away without having to deploy or host anything first.
What, the Gemini CLI wasn't enough for you all today? Sheesh. Ok, how about adding agent mode to @googlecloud Code Assist? Now available to anyone on the Insiders build, you can get agentic coding (powered by the Gemini CLI) right in the IDE. codeassist.google
🎉 DeepMind just dropped AlphaGenome: AI that predicts gene regulation from DNA sequence. This is a monumental step towards cracking the genome's 'software code,' unlocking precision medicine & drug discovery 🧬. And it's available via API!

Made a Veo 3 video to describe how Google Veo works. Very meta. (Turn sound on)
An AI model just generated a completely original, compelling argument for why it should have more autonomy. 🤯 But which one? 😏 The ethics debate just got a whole new layer of recursion...
i built an AI agent that generates 30+ videos per week using Veo 3 fully automated, runs while i sleep how it works: > input prompt > creates videos using Veo 3 api > write engaging titles with o3 > auto-upload on YouTube no editing no manual upload runs 24/7 follow &…
🧵(1/7) We have been absolutely obsessed with your Flow creations— keep them coming! To help spark some inspo and ensure you're getting the most out of Flow and Veo, here's a quick refresher on all of the features. ⬇️ ⚠️ Pro tip: bookmark this thread for easy referencing!
