🦜“Where does this endangered bird live?” 🦭“How many seals are being born?” 🐠 “Have salmon numbers declined?” Our updated AI model Perch can help biologists find answers to these questions faster, while looking at more environments and animal populations than ever before. Perch can analyze millions of hours of audio data from our planet, and then help identify species and numbers. This saves conservationists significant time, so they can focus on their work protecting endangered animals and ecosystems – instead of processing data. In order to help conservation efforts, we're releasing this new version of Perch as an open model and making it available on @Kaggle. Find out more → https://goo.gle/3JoSCgQ

As AI agents begin to take action in the real world, it's critical we develop new ethical frameworks to ensure they're aligned with broad principles – like our well-being and societal norms. We're exploring these challenges and next steps in our new comment published in Nature Magazine → https://goo.gle/3UfGdhC

We're unveiling Genie 3: a groundbreaking world model that can generate many interactive environments from any text prompt. 🌐 What sets it apart? 🔘 It can generate dynamic worlds at 720p and 24 FPS, playable in real-time 🔘 Environments remain physically consistent for interactions lasting up to a minute 🔘 Users can add prompts to alter the world - like changing the weather or introducing characters World models are a key stepping stone on the path to AGI, promising unlimited rich simulations for training AI agents. Genie 3 represents a significant leap forward in making this a reality. We’re providing early access to a small cohort of academics and creators, while exploring how we can make it available to more trusted testers in the future. → https://lnkd.in/eAXfBbSV

We have a long history of using games to measure progress in AI. 🎮 That’s why we’re helping unveil the Kaggle Game Arena: an open-source platform where models go head-to-head in complex multi-player games to help us gauge their capabilities. Find out more → https://lnkd.in/eDVsA-BT

Gemini 2.5 Deep Think is an enhanced reasoning mode for Gemini that extends its "thinking time" to help tackle harder problems. We put it into the hands of mathematicians who explored what it can do. 🧠 💭 Deep Think first generates parallel streams of thought, before comparing, contrasting, and refining these ideas to arrive at better answers. 💡 Its strengths goes beyond the realms of math and science, performing well at work that needs creativity and strategic planning - including tackling tough coding problems as well as iterative web design. Deep Think is now rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers. Find out more → https://lnkd.in/euyuUPSR

Our new AI model AlphaEarth Foundations is mapping the planet in astonishing detail. 🌏🔍 The system’s public datasets will help scientists better plot and track planetary changes over time. This could include critical issues like water resources, deforestation, urban expansion, and more – in hours, instead of weeks or months. Organizations like the United Nations FAO, Group on Earth Observations and MapBiomas are already using it to create powerful custom maps and drive real-world insights. The annual embedding datasets from our model are available now in Google Earth Engine. AlphaEarth Foundations is a significant step forward in understanding our changing planet and we’re excited to see how it can accelerate work in vital mapping initiatives.

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. Aeneas helps researchers interpret and situate inscriptions in their past context. By transforming each ancient text into a unique historical fingerprint, Aeneas can identify similarities across 176,000 Latin inscriptions. In our study, historians found these ‘parallels’ to be helpful research starting points 9 out of 10 times - improving their confidence by 44%. We tested Aeneas on the Res Gestae Divi Augusti – one of the most debated ancient inscriptions. Without prior knowledge, it successfully mapped out the leading scholarly theories on its dating, showing how AI can help model history in a quantitative way. 📊 Aeneas is now accessible through: 👉A website for researchers 🧑💻Open-source code and dataset 📚Syllabus for classrooms 🏛️Upgraded Ithaca ancient Greek model We’re excited to see how more people use this work to uncover the past.

An advanced version of Gemini with Deep Think has officially achieved gold-medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. 🥇 Here’s why this breakthrough matters ↓ 🧮 The IMO is the world’s most prestigious annual math competition, presenting six problems to participants involving: geometry, algebra, number theory, and combinatorics. 🔢 Gemini was given the same 6️⃣ problems and time limit - 4.5 hours - as human competitors, and still produced rigorous mathematical proofs. 🧠 With Deep Think, an enhanced reasoning mode, our model was able to simultaneously explore and combine multiple possible solutions before giving a definitive answer. 💭 We pushed this version further by giving it more thinking time, access to high-quality solutions to previous problems and pre-prepared hints and tips on how to find the best answers. These results show we're closer to building systems that can solve more complex mathematics. A version of this Deep Think model will soon be available to trusted testers, including mathematicians, before rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
