It's been about 20 years since I first started working on embeddings with Yann LeCun (siamese networks!), and I've been fascinated ever since. Gemini Embeddings 2 approaches the platonic ideal: native embedding of text, image, video, audio, and docs to a single space.
We're only 15 days into the new year.
- In 15 days, 3 Erdos problems were solved (GPT-5.2 Pro),
- Grok 4.20 (pre-access) found a new Bellman function for one of the problems Prof. Vanisvili was working on,
- The CEO of Cursor used coordinated hundreds of GPT-5.2 agents to autonomously build a browser from scratch in 1 week.
For those who haven't noticed yet – everything is changing this year. Sam Altman was right. The previous years really do seem slow compared to today.
This software engineer was nearly hacked by a coding interview.
I've never seen this attack channel before. Be careful out there, especially vibe coders.
As a senior software engineer, I can tell you that we’ve crossed a threshold in the last six months with Gemini 2.5, GPT-5, and more recently, Sonnet 4.5.
I don’t really code anymore. I prompt and supervise.
I’m still needed, because the AI can drift into strange tangents. But with the right scaffolding and rules in place, Sonnet 4.5 has become an excellent coder. Work that used to take me weeks or months now gets done in hours.
We've raised $13 billion at a $183 billion post-money valuation.
This investment, led by @ICONIQCapital, will help us expand our capacity, improve model capabilities, and deepen our safety research.
Ukraine is 603,550 km². Not one damn square meter belongs to Putin. Anyone — Trump included — who wants to “cede territory” is siding with a war criminal

Sir Demis Hassabis is the most dangerous CEO alive:
• Chess prodigy at age 4
• Knighted in 2023 for services to AI
• Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024
He now leads Google's DeepMind AI
His vision of the next 10 years will terrify you 🧵
Very excited to share the best coding model we’ve ever built! Today we’re launching Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 'I/O edition' with massively improved coding capabilities. Ranks no.1 on LMArena in Coding and no.1 on the WebDev Arena Leaderboard.
It’s especially good at building interactive web apps - this demo shows how it can be helpful for prototyping ideas. Try it in @GeminiApp, Vertex AI, and AI Studio https://t.co/7FbP3R1cmF
Enjoy the pre-I/O goodies !
BREAKING: Former Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson, just completely went off on Trump’s idea that Ukraine is the aggressor and debunked all of the Russian propaganda that is being spread:
“Putin launched his war not because he was worried about Nato – that's pure Kremlin propaganda – but because he is a ruthless opportunist, who had been in power for two decades, and who thought he could revive his political fortunes with a short, sharp war to rebuild the Russian empire… and everybody can see that Volodymyr Zelensky is not a dictator but a democrat courageously defending his country against an aggressor. He doesn't shoot journalists. He doesn't poison his opponents or send them to the Gulag. That's Putin."
Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.
This is what we now know, and what we now have to do about it:🧵1/17
Oh man https://t.co/sDfdINCBK8 is mind blowing. It surprisingly polished and easy to use, it even adds logic to the components.
The amount of time I'm saving creating my wedding website is pretty ridiculous. I'm definitely incorporating this workflow at @ThalozUS
