👨🏻💻 Staff Research Scientist @GoogleDeepMind. 🚀 @MIT Innovators Under 35 Europe & @Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe. 🌍 AI for the greater good.
Introducing AlphaGenome: an AI model to help scientists better understand our DNA – the instruction manual for life 🧬 Researchers can now quickly predict what impact genetic changes could have - helping to generate new hypotheses and drive biological discoveries. ↓
Huge congrats to @iassael, @TSommerschield, @shakir_za, and the whole team and our collaborators! Link to the paper here: nature.com/articles/s4158…
In 2022, @GoogleDeepMind launched Ithaca to help restore, place and date ancient texts. Now, they're working with collaborators to introduce Aeneas, a new AI model that contextualizes ancient Latin inscriptions. 📜 Learn more ⬇️
Our new state-of-the-art AI model Aeneas transforms how historians connect the past. 📜 Ancient inscriptions often lack context – it's like solving a puzzle with 90% of the pieces lost to time. It helps researchers interpret and situate inscriptions in their past context. 🧵
We've shown you the power of Flow; now, let's walk through the simple steps to bring your own images to life with Frames to Video 🤯 Here's how it works: 1. Upload your photo. 2. Tell it the scene, story, and audio you envision. 3. Flow handles the rest!

"The first big project to show AI’s potential began life as a collaboration at the University of Oxford, UK, in 2017, where @TSommerschield was doing a PhD in ancient history and @iassael was doing a PhD in computer science." nature.com/articles/d4158…
I ran all of the Sora prompts through Google Veo 2 Interesting how different they are side-by-side vids:
Excited to share our work on LearnLM and AI for Education: "LearnLM outperformed other leading AI models when it comes to adhering to the principles of learning science"
In a recent technical report, LearnLM, our set of AI models and capabilities fine-tuned for learning, outperformed other leading AI models on the principles of learning science. Now it’s available to try out in AI Studio. Learn more ↓ goo.gle/4gmEdxp
