Congratulations to @POTUS Donald Trump and @VP JD Vance on your inauguration. We look forward to working with you to usher in a new era of technology + AI innovation that will benefit all Americans.

Neuralink update!

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

In December, we launched Gemini 1.0 Pro. Today, we're introducing Gemini 1.5 Pro! 🚀 

This next-gen model uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) approach for more efficient training & higher-quality responses. Gemini 1.5 Pro, our mid-sized model, will soon come standard with a 128K-token context window, but starting today, developers + customers can sign up for the limited Private Preview to try out 1.5 Pro with a groundbreaking and experimental 1 million token context window!

The 1M tokens feature unlocks huge possibilities for devs - upload hundreds of pages of text, entire code repos, and long videos and let Gemini reason across them.

It's still experimental and early and we’d love your feedback - learn more here.  https://t.co/8Har4kAD6n

@manishquacking Wow. Never seen something like this. A cloudbow :)

Well said. This is why these other sciences are more of an art - interpreted differently by different institutions. No doubt Donald Knuth wrote art of computer programming :p

Peter Thiel has a comment that I love: "Things that are real sciences don't need to put 'science' at the end of it."

Its Physics. Not Physics Science.
Its Chemistry. Not Chemistry Science.
Its Biology. Not Biology Science.
Its Electrical Engineering. Not Electrical Engineering Science

With science, you will learn exactly the same things, no matter where you go to school. While this may seem like a bad thing, I think its a great thing. The laws of physics don't change just because you went to a state school vs Ivy League.

Now, if you think about other "sciences" however, there is a lot of variance depending on where you go to school.

Social Science?
Political Science?
Even Computer Science varies wildly from school to school.

Some universities try to create a mystique that you will be taught something or by someone or meet someone that will change your life when pursuing these other "sciences". This may be true in some circumstances but the odds of success are probably much higher for the broader population if you can focus on indelible content (ie real science) that describes how the world works.

And you can learn THAT, on a level playing field with everyone, anywhere.

Today, @VP and I are announcing over $40 billion will go to delivering high-speed internet in places where there’s either no service, or it’s too slow.

From Alaska to Appalachia, every community will have what they need to connect folks to reliable high-speed internet by 2030.

Great to have @60Minutes on campus to check out some of the AI technologies across @Google and @DeepMind that will power the next generation of our products, and the bold + responsible approach we're taking with AI. https://t.co/GgD6sRgHcl

@elonmusk why don't we open source Twitter and build the town square and shapeup the conversations together as a large community of contributors.
