Today we’re introducing Gemma 4 12B — our latest open model that brings advanced agentic reasoning, vision and audio directly to your laptop. It delivers performance nearing our larger Gemma models with a much smaller total memory footprint, while being small enough to run locally with just 16GB of VRAM. It’s open and accessible for everyone to use under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. This is all made possible by our new, unified architecture that removes separate multimodal encoders. Here’s how we did it 🧵

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Dutch intelligence estimates over 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed in the Ukraine war. Kyiv is estimated to have lost over 500,000. Too many young men have died already; this war needs to stop.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Dutch intelligence (MIVD) estimate is for 1.2 million total Russian casualties (killed, wounded, etc.) since 2022, including >500,000 deaths—not 1.2 million killed. Ukrainian casualties are ~500,000. defensenews.com/global/europe/… csis.org/analysis/russi… ibtimes.co.uk/dutch-intellig…

Canadian economist Peter Howitt winner 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics on Job Automation
Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

Canada has the best deal of any major U.S. trading partner — with 85% of our trade remaining tariff-free. As we approach the Joint Review of CUSMA, we want to preserve our unique Canadian advantage — and build on it.    To that end, we’ve created a new Advisory Committee on Canada-U.S. Economic Relations to serve as a forum for expertise and strategy.  To learn more about the committee: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releas…

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has no plans to bring U.S. alcohol back to the province any time soon, at least until the USMCA is renewed. “You never roll over to a bully,” Mr. Ford said of U.S. President Donald Trump at The Globe's Intersect conference on Wednesday. bit.ly/4mJhIXF

This Earth Day, Diana and I visited the Earth Path Nature School, here in Ottawa. It’s a place where young people have the chance to connect with nature, and to understand our shared responsibility to protect it. That connection is at the core of our new Nature Strategy: protecting our lands and waters for the generations who will inherit it.

Only the fraud was stopped by DOGE and, even then, only some of the fraud
On Friday, @StateDeptGHSD released its first wave of PEPFAR data, covering July-Sept 2025, after State took over USAID’s lifesaving health programs. Contrary to false media narratives, the data shows that President Trump’s foreign assistance review maintained and improved frontline lifesaving programs, while reducing NGO bloat and costs. During this transition period; - 20.6 million people w/ HIV received PEPFAR-supported antiretroviral treatment, exactly as many as during Biden’s last year - Early progress towards @SecRubio’s ambitious goal of ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV during @POTUS Trump’s second term, with preventive treatment initiated for 103k expectant/breastfeeding mothers, more than 2x as many as the same period a year earlier - Good initial progress moving programs, particularly in the treatment and testing space, to national health ministries as we champion self-reliance among health assistance countries This is all before the transformational investments in global health innovation and self-reliance made via the America First Global Health Strategy. Launched in Sept 2025, we have already signed 31 bilateral compacts worth more than $21 billion in U.S. commitments and country co-investment, and announced historic new innovation initiatives like our partnership with Gilead Sciences to get 3 million people in high-burden countries its new 99.9% effective twice yearly HIV prevention drug Lenacapavir. state.gov/releases/office-of…

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 1 hour MIT lecture on Machine Learning. It’ll teach you more about building your own ML models than 2 months of internship at OpenAI.

The young people in our @ObamaFoundation Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica. This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.
