“The possibilities with AI are almost unlimited. If you think about what intelligence is and let’s take human intelligence, first of all. Human intelligence always astounds me, and I don’t think we think about this enough. It’s created modern civilisation around us. Sometimes when I’m flying over to the US for a business trip or something on a 747, I sometimes look out the window and think, “how have we as humanity manage this with our sort of primate brains?” It seems incredible to me, and I don’t think people stop and think how magical that really is.”

- chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis on the possibilities of artificial intelligence.

Hassabis was awarded the 2024 chemistry prize for presenting an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, it's possible to predict the structure of virtually all known proteins.

Our newest featured notebook is absolutely electric🪁⚡️

We partnered with @googlearts @royalsociety to dive into the life of Benjamin Franklin like never before. Interact with his life's work, brush up on his personal and professional relationships, and gain a new perspective on this American polymath.

Big win for Google as Walmart pulls the plug on OpenAI's instant checkout (1/3 fewer conversions than native). Google's UCP is the win/win here. Also looks like the Clarity act yield compromise is not yet set in stone. Today's https://t.co/2Jj6oNXpRl

Gemini 3.1 Pro is here. Hitting 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2, it’s a step forward in core reasoning (more than 2x 3 Pro).

With a more capable baseline, it’s great for super complex tasks like visualizing difficult concepts, synthesizing data into a single view, or bringing creative projects to life.

We’re shipping 3.1 Pro across our consumer and developer products to bring this underlying leap in intelligence to your everyday applications right away. Rolling out now to:

- Developers in preview via the Gemini API in @GoogleAIStudio
- Enterprises in Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise
- Everyone through the @Geminiapp and @NotebookLM

Our Q4/FY’25 results are in. Thanks to our partners & employees, it was a tremendous quarter, exceeding $400B in annual revenue for the first time. Our full AI stack is fueling our progress, and Gemini 3 adoption has been faster than any other model in our history.

We’re really well positioned and excited going into 2026. Much more to come!

We’re introducing major updates to Gemini in @GoogleChrome for MacOS, Windows and Chromebook Plus. Built on Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, these powerful new AI features can help you multitask more easily and get the most out of the web 🧵

Shopify is building the foundation for agentic commerce.

Universal Commerce Protocol, which we co-developed with Google, is now live. UCP will make it faster for agents and retailers to integrate.

It’s open by default, so platforms and agents can use UCP to start transacting with any merchant. Major retailers are already using it.

Agents can handle everything from discovery to fulfillment, and support things like discounts, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. We’ve accounted for all types of commerce.

Joint Statement: Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.

After careful evaluation, Apple determined that Google's Al technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and is excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for Apple users. Apple Intelligence will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute, while maintaining Apple's industry-leading privacy standards.

AI agents will be a big part of how we shop in the not-so-distant future.

To help lay the groundwork, we partnered with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart to create the Universal Commerce Protocol, a new open standard for agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey.

And coming soon, UCP will power native checkout so you can buy directly on AI Mode and the @Geminiapp.

Amidst the massive demand for Gemini 2.5 and Veo 3 models, wanted to also give a big shout out to our world-class infrastructure, chip and SRE teams, who work tirelessly to keep our wonderful TPUs from melting, and without whose incredible work none of this would be possible.

Really enjoyed my conversation with @friedberg on @theallinpod! Fun to look ahead to the future of Search, AI, quantum, and more.

Google DeepMind CEO, @demishassabis tells students to brace for change: spend your time "learning to learn."
Change will be the only constant in the next decade, Demis Hassabis told students at the University of Cambridge.
By the time they graduate, students should have knowledge of their passions and core fundamentals, he added.

Great software feels like an extension of you. We're building @GeminiApp to be the most PERSONAL, PROACTIVE, and POWERFUL assistant.
👀Here's the strategy:

1/ PERSONAL: The best assistant gets you. It starts by knowing your past chats (launching soon), but we’ll go further: we’ll make it easy for you to bring in all of your @Google context (Gmail, Photos, Calendar, Search, YouTube, etc.) - with your permission! On the team, we call it “pcontext” (personalized context) and we’re testing it internally with our own info already.

2/ PROACTIVE: The best assistant anticipates. @GeminiApp will offer insights and actions before you ask, freeing your mind and time for what truly matters. Less prompting, more flow.

3/ POWERFUL: The best assistant turns your ideas into action. @GoogleDeepMind models (like 2.5 Pro) are exceptional - they can research, orchestrate, and create images, videos, and code. We’re in a new era of models, and a new era of user experiences are coming.

4/ Zooming out, @Google infrastructure & TPUs back all of this. It’s the kind of infra people dream about, but it actually exists here -- and it’s going to let us make all this FREE for everyone to try, especially students.

5/ One request: keep your feedback coming! We try to listen, build, and iterate fast. In the last ~3.5 weeks, we’ve shipped:
* Gemini 2.5 Flash
* Veo 2 for video generation
* Free Gemini plans for all U.S. students (more countries soon!)
* LaTeX support (top request)
* Upload and edit your images (started rolling out yesterday)

6/ @demishassabis and I will unpack all of this (and more) at Google I/O in <20 days! Let’s roll!

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Soon with AI we will be communicating with dolphins and realistically simulating fruit flies…

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

1/ Today, Veo 2, our state-of-the-art video model, is rolling out to Gemini Advanced + Whisk!

You can create 8s, high-res videos from text prompts in @GeminiApp with fluid character movement + lifelike scenes across a range of styles. Tip: the more detailed your description, the better.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Gemini 2.5 is our most intelligent model + now our most in demand (we've seen an 80%+ increase in active users in AI Studio + Gemini API this month).

So today we’re moving Gemini 2.5 Pro into public preview in AI Studio with higher rate limits (free tier is still available!). We’re also setting usage records every day with the model in the @GeminiApp. All powered by years of investing in our compute infrastructure purpose-built for AI. More to come at Cloud Next, stay tuned.
