"When [Sundar] Pichai says he’s taking a decade-long view of where the technology is going, it’s not just a platitude. That universal assistant he wrote about in that 2016 shareholder letter? Google is on the cusp of creating it" — @FastCompany’s new cover story on Google and AI. https://t.co/mOO17KvMsk
We launched Gmail on April Fool’s Day in 2004. 20+ years later, we’re bringing Gmail into the Gemini era.

It’s been 5 years since #AlphaFold 2 started to change how we see the biological universe. 🔬
What started as a solution to a 50-year-old scientific challenge has become a standard tool for discovery.
Here’s how 3M+ researchers are using it in over 190 countries 🧵
We work tirelessly in an endless battle against spammers to make Search great for users. We do this fairly, consistently, and transparently. Unsurprisingly, companies that benefit from Search manipulation don’t like our anti-spam efforts – and complain about it. But what’s surprising (and disappointing) is seeing complaints like these legitimized by the misguided investigation announced today, which would make Search worse for users and high-quality sites.

Let's close the gap between ambition and action.
At today's #POLITICOCompetitiveSummit, I outlined ways we can work together to create a pro-innovation foundation, build workforce skills, and scale up transformative technologies.

New from our security teams: Our AI agent Big Sleep helped us detect and foil an imminent exploit. We believe this is a first for an AI agent - definitely not the last - giving cybersecurity defenders new tools to stop threats before they’re widespread.
Very excited to share that @windsurf_ai co-founders @_mohansolo & Douglas Chen, and some of their talented team have joined @GoogleDeepMind to help advance our work in agentic coding in Gemini. Welcome to our new team mates from Windsurf! https://t.co/obSwzXy6t5

Here's my conversation with @sundarpichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet.
I've gotten to know Sundar over the past 2 years. His life story and approach to leadership are truly inspiring. So this conversation was a pleasure and honor for me 🙏
We're living through the most exciting period of technological innovation in human history. And Google & Alphabet are at the center of it. This chat made me even more excited for the future!
Oh, and they just now released a new model (gemini-2.5-pro-preview-06-05) that's the new state of the art at #1 on lmarena 🤯
Full conversation is here on X and is up everywhere else (see comment).

🇫🇷 Paris, leader de la tech en Europe !
💪 Pour la 1e fois, notre capitale dépasse Londres et s’impose comme le 1er hub technologique en Europe.
➡️ Le résultat de la politique pro startup du Président @EmmanuelMacron depuis 2017 et du dynamisme de @LaFrenchTech que j’ai dirigée pendant 3 ans et que je suis fière de continuer à accompagner au quotidien !
On lâche rien 💪🐓

When it comes to digital sovereignty, we’ve long believed our commitment to customer choice, security, and solutions available today sets us apart among cloud providers. (1/4)
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!
We announced updates to Google Wallet that help you prove your age and identity in a safe and secure way, shared that ID passes will soon arrive in the U.K., and digital IDs will expand to more U.S. states with more places you can use them, and more. https://t.co/5CEYLihEG5
Love how simple Gemini's new camera/screen share is – just point your camera or share your screen + ask away. Available now for everyone on Pixel 9 & Galaxy S25 users and Gemini Advanced users on Android. Excited to see Project Astra come to life!
We have liftoff! After a successful launch this weekend, the first FireSat satellite is now orbiting Earth 🛰️ It’s the first of a 50+ satellite constellation that will help detect + track wildfires as small as 5x5 meters, using AI. Huge thanks to partners @MuonSpace@EarthFireAll@MooreFound, and special thanks to @SpaceX for the ride! Here’s a look at the satellite on the launch pad (it’s behind the yellow rectangle).
