📢Introducing Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, our fastest and most efficient model, built for high-volume workloads. It outperforms 2.5 Flash in reasoning, reliability, and scalability at a lower cost.
This model also introduces thinking levels. You can adjust compute by complexity of the task, burning zero thinking overhead on high-volume tasks, while reasoning through the complex edge cases.
Maximum intelligence, minimal latency.

Last week we upgraded Gemini 3 Deep Think. Today, we’re shipping the core intelligence that makes those breakthroughs possible: Gemini 3.1 Pro.
A noticeably smarter, more capable baseline for your hardest challenges.
Available now: https://t.co/Srm2Ec7OWJ
An updated Gemini 3 Deep Think is out today:
📈 Achieves SOTA on ARC-AGI-2, MMMU-Pro, and HLE.
🥇Gold-medal level on Physics & Chemistry Olympiads.
It turns out the best way to solve hard problems is still to think about them. Read more: https://t.co/PMmuyRq90B
@YLatynina Юлия, странная у вас позиция. Когда речь идет о растлении детей, для вас важно, были ли они девственниками на момент преступления. Теперь вы говорите, что ответственность Волкова нельзя обсуждать...
@mojemnemojem Кац молодец. Хороший бизнес сделал. Бабки зарабатывает на так называемой "оппозиции", продавая ролики с рекламой, и на бизнесе с гос компаниями РФ. Чисто бизнесмен, ничего личного. Все-таки Израиль дорогая страна.
@av_kochergin@YLatynina Можно какие-то ссылки на то, что это этот жест широко используется в американской культуре. Пока то, что я читал, говорит о том что это нацисткий жест.
Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei are the ones doing massive corporate lobbying at the moment.
They are the ones who are attempting to perform a regulatory capture of the AI industry.
You, Geoff, and Yoshua are giving ammunition to those who are lobbying for a ban on open AI R&D.
If your fear-mongering campaigns succeed, they will *inevitably* result in what you and I would identify as a catastrophe: a small number of companies will control AI.
The vast majority of our academic colleagues are massively in favor of open AI R&D. Very few believe in the doomsday scenarios you have promoted.
You, Yoshua, Geoff, and Stuart are the singular-but-vocal exceptions.
like many, I very much support open AI platforms because I believe in a combination of forces: people's creativity, democracy, market forces, and product regulations.
I also know that producing AI systems that are safe and under our control is possible. I've made concrete proposals to that effect.
This will all drive people to do the Right Thing.
You write as if AI is just happening, as if it were some natural phenomenon beyond our control.
But it's not. It's making progress because of individual people that you and I know. We, and they, have agency in building the Right Things.
Asking for regulation of R&D (as opposed to product deployment) implicitly assumes that these people and the organization they work for are incompetent, reckless, self-destructive, or evil. They are not.
I have made lots of arguments that the doomsday scenarios you are so afraid of are preposterous. I'm not going to repeat them here. But the main point is that if powerful AI systems are driven by objectives (which include guardrails) they will be safe and controllable because *e* set those guardrails and objectives.
(Current Auto-Regressive LLMs are not driven by objectives, so let's not extrapolate from their current weaknesses).
Now about open source: your campaign is going to have the exact opposite effect of what you seek.
In a future where AI systems are poised to constitute the repository of all human knowledge and culture, we *need* the platforms to be open source and freely available so that everyone can contribute to them.
Openness is the only way to make AI platforms reflect the entirety of human knowledge and culture.
This requires that contributions to those platforms be crowd-sourced, a bit like Wikipedia.
That won't work unless the platforms are open.
The alternative, which will *inevitably* happen if open source AI is regulated out of existence, is that a small number of companies from the West Coast of the US and China will control AI platform and hence control people's entire digital diet.
What does that mean for democracy?
What does that mean for cultural diversity?
*THIS* is what keeps me up at night.
Hierarchical Navigable Small World graph is a data structure idea useful for ANN (approximate nearest neighbor search).
This is my favorite algo idea I've learned in the last 5 years.
