We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
Our GCSE cyclists took on a tough, physically demanding course - and they were exceptional, giving 100% effort throughout! The girls learnt new skills and capped it off with a 10‑mile time trial:🥇Taylor - 1st place (38.13)🥈 Lucy - 2nd place🥉 Nahla: 3rd place Well done, girls!

my dad is 50-something, pursuing a modelling career, and i’ve never seen him happier. he told me he’s just waiting for a chance to blow up. so, twitter, meet my dad. #freesciencelessons
It’s been an amazing last couple of weeks, hope you enjoyed our end of year extravaganza as much as we did!
Just some of the things we shipped: state-of-the-art image, video, and interactive world models (Imagen 3, Veo 2 & Genie 2); Gemini 2.0 Flash (a highly performant and efficient foundation model); Gemini-Exp-1206 model (top of the Chatbot Arena leaderboard); 2.0 Flash Thinking (our first ‘thinking’ model, expect a lot more news on this soon - as many of you remember, we pioneered this type of model with AlphaGo, AlphaZero, AlphaProof…); upgrades to @GeminiApp with Deep Research and more, fantastic new NotebookLM features, a new image remixing tool (Whisk); and a series of agentic research prototypes that can help people get things done (Project Astra, Mariner, Jules) all built on Gemini 2.0.
And then on top of all of that, we dropped the world’s most accurate weather prediction model (GenCast), the world’s most advanced quantum chip that performed a computation that would have taken 10 septillion years (Willow - could come in handy for training AI one day!), and it was the honour of a lifetime to receive the Nobel Prize for AlphaFold, which has revolutionised structural biology and is being used by 2 million researchers around the world to understand disease and accelerate drug discovery.
I could not be more proud of all the exceptionally talented teams at @GoogleDeepMind & @Google who have worked so incredibly hard on all these amazing projects. It’s the greatest joy one can have professionally to get to explore the outer reaches of science and human knowledge with such wonderful colleagues.
We’ve been inventing the future of AI for well over a decade now, and we’ll continue to be a relentless engine of innovation. In many ways we’re only just getting started… if you want to be at the frontier of the most exciting scientific and technological journey ever, this is the place to be, come join us!
I would like to mention the terrible situation in martyred #Ukraine. My envoy has told me about the pain of this people, the monstrosities they suffer. Let’s #PrayTogether for this martyred people, and for #peace.

It was such a pleasure to have @Leofletcher6, Mayor of Greenwich, visit St Ursula's this afternoon. Our School Council thoroughly enjoyed this experience and look forward to more discussion next term
