Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out. Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet One small step for TPUs....

Today we have 3 new DeepMind Institute essays: How can we control misbehaviour in agent swarms? How should we orchestrate complex networks of AIs and people? The case for making AGI’s benefits equitably distributed. Get them here ->

Introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash-Lite TTS, our new SOTA text to speech model with: - a new voice design experience - 2,000+ production ready voices - voice replication - support for 100 languages - voice remixing (soon) - #1# spot on Hume AI's voice benchmarks and more!!

The idea that Chain of Thought is inevitably going to go away misses that we have agency in designing these models and can do something about that. @rohinmshah and I make the case that we should intentionally preserve monitorability (as part for of the launch of the DeepMind Institute) here:

My journey to develop AGI spans 25 yrs, including 10+ yrs thinking about technical & societal perspectives at Google DeepMind. AGI is on the horizon - we need deeper understanding of its implications. To help, we've created the DeepMind Institute.

For 20+ years @ShaneLegg and I've discussed AGI’s potential impact on the economy, science & society. With the DeepMind Institute, we're expanding interdisciplinary research on key questions for the AI era. We hope it spurs the discussions needed to get the next steps right:

Honoured to receive the Albert Medal from @theRSAorg! Science & tech enable amazing opportunities, but the arts & humanities will be crucial in shaping what sort of future we want to see as a society in the coming AGI era. Fun discussion w/ @FryRsquared covering many new topics:

Say hello (literally) to Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, our new SOTA live audio models, available with frontier price + performance. 3.8 Live supports 97 languages (can seamlessly switch), async tool calls, and more!

Today we have set out how we’re building AI to accelerate science and improve people’s lives. Just some examples in the last week or so: - Mapped all 9B possible single letter genetic changes across the human genome with AlphaGenome Atlas and made it openly available to researchers. - Billions of decisions depend on weather predictions so we introduced WeatherNext 3, our most accurate and capable global weather AI model to date. - We published AI & Economy ATLAS, a comprehensive open-access look at how people are using AI globally. - AI has enabled extraordinary advances in language translation. Today our services are available in nearly 300 languages, spoken by 7B people We’re focusing our efforts on four key areas: health, natural disaster and weather resilience, learning, and economic opportunity.

Today @FastCompany awarded @Google the winner of their 2026 Innovation by Design Awards for our holistic design vision and new AI design language, seen across our products, from @GeminiApp to @GoogleMaps' Immersive Navigation and Search AI Mode. Read the full story.

Dario's essay points towards the right path forward. The details need working through, but the direction is correct for meeting this critical moment. This is also why we recently put out our proposal for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI.

How can we reconstruct a memory that was never filmed? Our team paired restored archival photos with pose control models to capture the mannerisms and micro-expressions of Burt and Ethelle. This helped bring the day they first met to life for Love, Rendered, a new documentary in collaboration with @PrimordialSoup_ and @StorySyndicate_. Watch the full film on YouTube →

Lyria 3.5, our best-sounding music generation model, is now available in the @GeminiApp 🎵✨ With more expressive vocals and richer musical arrangements, it’s easier than ever to bring your idea to life: 🪄 Use our new templates to jumpstart your creativity ⌛ Choose to create short or longer tracks ✅ Select or describe your genre and choose between vocal or instrumental styles

Lyria 3.5, our best-sounding music generation model, is now available in AI Studio, via the Gemini API, and in the Gemini app this model brings more expressive vocals and richer musical arrangements, allowing you to craft tracks with higher fidelity try it today:

WeatherNext 3 is a major breakthrough in how we forecast global weather. ⛅ Developed with @GoogleResearch, the model learns directly from real-world, real-time observations to give more localized highly accurate predictions faster. 🧵

Gemini video understanding is truly bonkers 🤯 Given a 2 hour football match, it scans the video for yellow cards, finds them, 3.8 Flash adds them to a 2D field so you can see where they occurred, then you can click on it and go to the exact part of the video! Check it out 👇
