Jonas Degrave, Research Scientist working on project Astra @ DeepMind, opinions are my own. They follow a Brownian motion anyway.

We’re helping to unlock the mysteries of the universe with AI. 🌌

Our novel Deep Loop Shaping method
published in @ScienceMagazine could help astronomers observe more events like collisions and mergers of black holes in greater detail, and gather more data about rare space phenomena. 🧵

[Commonwealth Fusion Systems @CFS_energy]

Historic news for CFS: We’ve signed a landmark agreement with @Google, a multifaceted partnership that dramatically advances our commercial fusion energy mission:

⚡️Google signed an offtake agreement for 200 megawatts of power from our first ARC power plant
⚡️Google is increasing its corporate investment in CFS
⚡️Google has the option to procure power from future ARCs

This deal is a very strong signal that the world wants the clean, secure power that fusion offers. Together, we’re catalyzing the fusion market.

Welcome to the most boring video we've ever posted

Here's 60 minutes of our humanoid robot solving logistics, powered by our Helix neural network

Things never change:
2016: An End-to-end Differentiable Physics Engine for Deep Learning in Robotics, open source in Theano https://t.co/cJazdSydqt
2024: End-to-end differentiable simulator of tokamak heat transport, open source in Jax https://t.co/8KfOgOZLNP

[Jonathan Citrin @jon_citrin]

Excited to announce the release of TORAX, a tokamak transport simulator from our @GoogleDeepMind Fusion team! #fusionenergy

- Open-source: https://t.co/QCobr8mTsJ
- Uses JAX: fast, differentiable
- Easy coupling of ML-surrogates

@vdwnico If it's a famous sudoku, it has probably memorised the solution. These models cannot solve sudokus yet.
(I just tried a random easy one, and there are multiple mistakes in the solution)

@AmgadGamalHasan Even a few years before ChatGPT, it was clear that chat assistants were going to be a thing. Many people were also wondering on what a better interface could be than a chat window. After the Flamingo paper, the Astra modality became obvious and feasible.

Over 2 years of our blood, sweat and tears and here we are: an interactive agent, situated, aware of its environment. Ears, eyes and speech. This is going to be TARS, this will be HER one day, becoming HAL, JARVIS, ...

It's such an honor to work on Project Astra with such an amazing team from across Gemini and Google DeepMind! While the #GoogleIO keynote was happening we had a last minute idea of watching the keynote with Project Astra. Check it out!

[Michael Chang @mmmbchang]

Gemini and I also got a chance to watch the @OpenAI live announcement of gpt4o, using Project Astra! Congrats to the OpenAI team, super impressive work!

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

We’re sharing Project Astra: our new project focused on building a future AI assistant that can be truly helpful in everyday life. 🤝

Watch it in action, with two parts - each was captured in a single take, in real time. ↓ #GoogleIO

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Lots to look forward to @Google IO tomorrow 👀

@pfau Well, there are no good language models for small languages yet. ChatGPT is OK but not great in Dutch, 10th language in Europe. More than half of EU countries have even smaller languages. I'm not even sure if it's that good in French or German.

No working AI, no AI panic.

[𝖦𝗋𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗌 ⏳ @Grimezsz]

I think it's cool to be fused w a machine and I like the idea of open sourcing all art and killing copyright

[317070 @317070]

@pfau @neuroecology Even if the chance of reaching AGI soon is on the low side, I reckon it has enormous benefits when we do. Therefore, let's spend a lot of resources to accelerate as much as we can.

[Ira Korshunova🇺🇦 @iskorna]

This week, I've embarked on a new adventure as a research engineer @DeepMind☺️

[317070 @317070]

@MelissaFarasyn @mfreib That's the best West-Flemish I've seen any language model produce ever. It's not very good, but still the best I have seen.

@hHetty @inekeimbo @lievenscheire 06, 07 en 08 kun je niet maken met deze oplossing, lijkt mij.

@vtchakarova For more context, this happens just after Ukraine has moved their Orthodox Christmas date to the 25th of December: https://t.co/UrtORWNFp4.

@pfau I figure it is the upper limit for this amount of fuel. Of course, it does not seem implausible bigger targets could house more fuel?
