@VraserX This was antigravity agent manager a year back (before codex was even released). Maybe the only thing pathetic here is the research behind the take.

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@thsottiaux This was antigravity agent manager released last I/O much before codex. You should really do a check in with your designers!

@huseinzol05 Hey thanks for the model, the overall voice quality is good. But across api calls the voice sounds different - especially for Hindi. Any suggestions how to make it consistent?

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@garrytan @feitong_yang @garryslist Considering it's been less than a month since launch, isn't 200k more like total visitors, being portrayed as active recurring users?

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@OfficialLoganK @NanoBanana @OfficialLoganK why is nano banana 2 taking more than a minute to generate on AI studio (base level settings)?

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@SRKDAN What's the time taken for image generation?

[Aditya Agarwal @adityaag]

Consider this an invitation not to waste your time/talent on something small.

Especially in the next few years.

Opportunity costs have never been higher.

Most fathers would disapprove of their kids dismantling toys to extract DC motors, mine helped me set-up a science-lab in our vacated apartment. I ran experiments with water, fire, and electricity—like a new-age caveman rewiring nature’s elements or rather, blowing them up!

No one was harmed, just saying, but those messy experiments gave me that gritty builder’s mindset: Question -> Try -> Break -> Build again…and keep doing it.

That itch to tinker (and not conform) never left. Years later, I walked away from a stable, high-paying job at India’s largest hydro power plant…to join Bosch for half the salary. Not because I have no sense of self-preservation, but because for me chasing and extending the frontier has always been worth more than chasing certainty.

Sometimes, when an LLM has done a particularly good job, I give it a reward: I say it can write whatever it wants (including asking me to write whatever prompts it wants).

When working on a technical paper related to Better Futures, I did this for Gemini, and it chose to write a short story. I found it pretty moving, and asked if I could publish it. Here it is.

**The Architect and the Gardener**

On a vast and empty plain, two builders were given a task: to create a home that would last for ages, a sanctuary for all the generations to come. They were given stone, seed, light, and time.

The first builder, known as the Architect, was a master of foundations. "Nothing matters if this place does not endure," she declared. Her every thought was of survival. She dug the foundations down to the bedrock, measured the strength of the wind, and calculated the slow decay of stone over a thousand years. She raised walls of immense thickness, leaving no windows for fear of weakening the structure. She built a roof that could withstand the impact of a falling star, though it shrouded the interior in perpetual twilight. Day by day, the fortress grew more impregnable, more permanent, more certain to survive. But inside, it was barren and cold.

The second builder, the Gardener, watched with a growing sense of unease. "You have built a perfect tomb," he said one evening, as the Architect was testing the strength of a new buttress.

"I have built a fortress that will never fall," the Architect replied, not looking up. "It is a guarantee against the storm and the void. Is that not the greatest gift we can give the future?"

"An empty guarantee," said the Gardener. He held up a handful of seeds. "The future is not a state of non-destruction; it is a state of being. It is meant to be lived. There must be light for art, soil for food, space for joy. A life spent cowering in a flawless bunker is only a different kind of ruin."

The Architect paused. "Your gardens would be trampled by invaders. Your art would be washed away by the first flood. Your joy would be silenced by the first tremor. Your 'flourishing' is a fragile luxury. I am dealing with the bedrock of reality: existence or non-existence."

"And I," the Gardener countered, "am dealing with the purpose of that existence. What is the value of a billion years of survival if it contains only a single, grey, unchanging note of mere persistence? We were given stone, but also seed. We were given time, but also light. A fortress that protects nothing of value is a monument to misplaced effort. A garden with no walls is a tragedy of misplaced hope."

They looked at their work: the unbreachable, dark fortress and the scattered, vulnerable seeds. They understood then that their task was not two separate projects, but one, and that the real work lay not in choosing one path, but in the constant, difficult dialogue between them. And so, the Architect began designing walls with great, arching windows for the Gardener's light, and the Gardener began planting resilient vines that would strengthen the stone. Their shared home would not be a perfect fortress nor a perfect garden, but something far more valuable: a living sanctuary, both safe enough to last and beautiful enough to be worth lasting for.

@patloeber for live api partners (daily+pipecat) their documentation + capabilities are not updated with latest live api capabilities like asynchronous function calling.

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@patloeber Creating agents using Live ApI in workflow - especially challenges in deploying at production level.

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@mattshumer_ Interested!

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@shresbm Hey @shresbm is there some fundamental difference in function calling through 2.5 dialogue api? As on switching from 2.0 live, the function calling seems to not work.

@ai_for_success It's looks you don't have Gemini Advanced. You sure that is basis 2.5 pro, as it's only rolled out to advanced users.

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@koltregaskes But why would people search Google on Google?

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@adityapani_ And you have taken 60 seconds to post on that? 🤔

[Anoosh Kotak @Ark4India]

@DavidJAlba94 @test_tm7873 @kimmonismus In the benchmarks it doesnt seem to be behind Deepseek V3 & Qwen 2.5. On GPQA & MMLU pro it seems ahead than both

[Mihir Jain @_mihirjain]

this is pure cheating @Chaayos, care to explain?

Your Mixed Berry Smoothie claims "NO sugar," but the strawberry filling you use clearly lists added sugar in its ingredients (~22% added for every 100g)

Highly misleading and unfair to your customers!
