Robot dexterity continues to improve rapidly.

Today we announce Gemini Robotics 2.5, our new foundation model and the first that was strongly accelerated by Gemini 4 Argon.

It is not a secret that we are pushing on recursive self-improvement (RSI), and in robotics it's paying off already.

Gemini 4 Argon accelerated and improved all aspects of the model development: from generating and curating data, to analysing evals, up to proposing, testing and integrating models improvements.

All of these measurably improved final performance (including the demo you can try at CoRL, come say hi!).

We believe this is the next chapter for robotics (and AI) and are excited to accelerate more.

The world has no idea what is coming.

Marc Andreessen says the gap between what AI-native startups and incumbents think AI can do is the widest he’s ever seen:

"The AI-native early stage startups have just a completely different view on what they can do with AI than the typical incumbents in almost any industry, almost without exception."

"AI is just racing ahead in capability even week by week... There are going to be a lot of industries that are really up for grabs in a fundamentally more profound way than maybe has been the case in the past."

"The founders are gonna have a level of superpowers coming from the use of these tools and these technologies that they just simply haven't had in the past... Had I had Astra and Netscape in 1994, like, oh my God. Like, Ben, what would you and I have been able to do at Netscape?"

"Those entrepreneurs are gonna color way outside the lines. We already see this. They're not gonna think of themselves as like, 'I'm just a software company,' or, 'I'm just a hardware company,' or even, 'I'm just an AI company.'"

Robots are coming en mass.

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

Elon Musk on Optimus:

“I remain convinced that Optimus will be the biggest product on earth and humanoid robots in general will be the biggest product on earth. There is no one that is even close to Tesla with respect to a general purpose humanoid robot.

We’ve started like what I’d call early production on our high volume line in Fremont. Now I want to elaborate on this point because and I’ve said this before that the growth of Optimus, it’s an S-curve but the initial part of the S-curve has a shallow slope and is somewhat bumpy because it is such a radically new product.

So the way to think about it is there’s like 10,000 things that have to go right for production of the robot and it’ll move as fast as the slowest least likely of the 10,000. But we do have the vast majority of a million unit production line landed in Fremont right now.”

A Unitree G1 is driving a go-kart.

Tesla's Robotaxis drive themselves.

Could humanoids drive regular cars instead?
