Biosecurity is one of the most urgent challenges for the AI era. Bringing SynthID to biology so AI-generated proteins can be watermarked is a critical step - and we’re open sourcing SynthID Bio tools so the research community can build on this work. Published in @Nature today, congrats to the team! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Very happy to announce that our team @GoogleDeepmind has pushed the boundaries of generative biology, achieving the successful synthesis of AI-designed proteins that are both functional and watermarked.
This proof-of-concept watermarking of the building blocks of life is enabled by SynthID Bio, our new protein watermarking method. It is designed to safeguard the new era of AI-powered generative biology and strengthen global biosecurity.
You can read my thoughts here on why watermarking AI-designed proteins is an important research breakthrough: teapawt.net/pushmeet/status/210531…

@GeminiApp updates 👀
- New "Chat/Task" switcher for Chat and Gemini Spark
- Customize section in the hamburger menu containing more clear, searchable UI and granular selections between: Chat customizations, Connectors, and Skills

We’re introducing Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking – our best conversational AI.
The models talk, think, and handle tasks in the background without breaking your flow. 🧵

New "Device Help" tool in the tool drop-down in the @GeminiApp!
So far, I haven't gotten it to actually work. But it tries to use the utilities tool on android to control settings when you ask

It seems like Waymo is serious about hitting their target of 1M paid rides per week by the end of this year.
Earlier this year, they were doing 500k rides per week.
Just spotted upwards of 500 yes 500 Waymo Ojai today in Mesa, AZ
These are produced by Chinese automaker Zeekr of the Geely holding group then retrofitted with Sensors by Magna
I don’t know the exact number of cars just want to stress the magnitude of what I saw & the fact the lot went further than my eyes could see

Really excited to see Notability launch this week with optimization for large screen devices. Just in time for all the foldables launching this summer!
Notability for Android is here. 🎉 It's the Notability you know and love, but in a sleek, native Android experience.
Thank you all for your support and feedback. We're incredible excited to share this with you. As a token of our appreciation, we're currently offering 25% off your first year of Plus, only through the Android app. 💚

Gemini Spark is now also starting to roll out to Google AI Pro subscribers in the U.S., and we'll be bringing it to AI Pro subscribers in more countries soon.

Q2 was an amazing quarter, with our AI investments redefining what’s possible across every part of our business.
Alphabet revenue grew 24% YoY and Google Cloud accelerated to 82% growth. We saw exciting momentum across the board from Search to YouTube to the Gemini app (which reached 950M monthly active users). Our model APIs are processing 22B tokens/min (up from 16B+ last quarter) driven by our workhorse Flash models. We’re also seeing great adoption of Gemini Enterprise, used by 90% of the Fortune 100, as well as strong demand for our security solutions.
Outstanding results and momentum, and such an exciting moment—thanks to all of our partners and employees around the world! 🙌 About to hop on the call!

Gemini 3.6 Flash is worse bcoz it's not performing well at coding...
Coding is not the only use case for AI models.

We have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and are excited by the progress : )

Is One UI 10 finally taking shape?
Samsung is exploring a brand new interaction concept called the Fluid AI Design System. Rather than being a traditional user interface, it's a generative design philosophy built around AI.
Unlike today's static interfaces, Fluid AI can dynamically generate the most suitable UI based on your current task, surroundings, and context. It intelligently brings together information like your schedule, navigation, messages, and weather into a single adaptive experience, allowing the system to proactively reshape itself around your needs instead of forcing you to jump between different apps.
If this design philosophy eventually makes its way into a future version of One UI, it could mark a major shift in Samsung's software experience, moving from an app-centric interface to one that is AI and task-centric. This could very well represent one of the key directions for the future evolution of One UI.

One thing I am kind of surprised by is that full multi-modal (any-any) models have not become a bigger deal. It seems Google is the only Lab releasing these, OpenAI uses selective multimodal capabilities, Anthropic famously has no multimodal output & open weights models are mixed
