Great to meet today with @POTUS, @JDVance, @SpeakerJohnson and Administration + tech leaders. Important conversation and we signed today the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.
As I shared today, Google has invested hundreds of billions in the last two years alone, with more to come, across the entire stack, to deliver benefits for America and the world. We’re working to build products that deliver real value for people and businesses, invest in local communities, and build trust in the technology.
Industry also has to innovate responsibly. Google’s focused on building the right way, with appropriate testing, evaluations, red-teaming, and other safeguards against misuse and misalignment – and releasing models or products only after they’ve been thoroughly reviewed.
We are committed to working with other industry leaders to establish norms and build public confidence. The White House Accord and the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities signed today is a solid basis for moving forward - it contains real tangible steps to promote safe development, while delivering the economic and scientific benefits of this technology.

3:42:66 on the mile for Josh Kerr to break a 27 year record for the fastest mile. Pretty cool. Absolutely insane pace that most people couldn’t hit for 100 yards, much less a mile.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Introducing Nano Banana 2, our best image model yet 🍌🍌
It uses Gemini’s understanding of the world and is powered by real-time information and images from web search. That means it can better reflect real-world conditions in high-fidelity.
Check out "Window Seat," a demo using Nano Banana 2’s world understanding to generate more accurate views from any window in the world, pulling live local weather info with 2K/4K specs. The precision is mind blowing.
