Dario's essay points towards the right path forward. The details need working through, but the direction is correct for meeting this critical moment. This is also why we recently put out our proposal for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI. https://x.com/demishassabis/status/2076957440109625718?s=20

With AlphaFold we mapped the protein universe - now with AlphaGenome Atlas we’re charting the human genome. It can predict the impact of all 9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants, helping scientists better understand disease. Freely available for academic research: http://alphagenome.google/atlas

For 20+ years @ShaneLegg and I've discussed AGI’s potential impact on the economy, science & society. With the DeepMind Institute, we're expanding interdisciplinary research on key questions for the AI era. We hope it spurs the discussions needed to get the next steps right: http://deepmind.google/institute

Gemini 3.7 Flash brings major upgrades for software engineering, web dev & knowledge work. And introductory price is half the original 3.6 Flash cost. Happy building - enjoy!

Introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash, another upgrade in under a month! And the new 3.8 Flash Cyber pushes the frontier of cyber defense. Relentless progress 🚀 More on the models & our cyber security work in the blog - happy building! https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/3-8-flash-and-3-8-flash-cyber/

Oh yes, and Flash 3.7 is also lightning fast! ⚡️

Honoured to receive the Albert Medal from @theRSAorg! Science & tech enable amazing opportunities, but the arts & humanities will be crucial in shaping what sort of future we want to see as a society in the coming AGI era. Fun discussion w/ @FryRsquared covering many new topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDteJAuKiBI

Good to see the progress, and we look forward to following up.

Gemini 4 Argon is amazing for knowledge work and coding - and it’s super fun to build with! We asked it to create this wizard chess game and it's so cool to see Argon's physics understanding & 3D modelling capabilities, makes me nostalgic for Battlechess on the Amiga - fun times! Argon is rolling out today to Google Ultra and Pro subscribers in the @GeminiApp and Search, and Ultra subscribers in @antigravity! More info & full availability in the blog: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/introducing-gemini-4-argon/

Very excited to announce Gemini 4 Argon, our new Frontier AI model, and a huge step forward across key capabilities. We’re focused on rolling it out responsibly starting with government and trusted cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program today, before wider availability soon

I love lasers (really wanted to work on them as a kid)… especially Argon lasers 😀 reminded me of this scene from one of my fave films: ‘synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix… but that would be hotter than the sun’ 😂 Val Kilmer was so cool https://youtu.be/G-gAbSQGGqM?si=6NQue5-ulgGedGrt&t=50

⚡Iterating at lightning speed! Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA across key benchmarks and combines frontier capabilities with deep safety & security research.
