It’s been an exciting few weeks here at Google DeepMind, where our teams have been pushing the boundaries of AI to tackle real-world challenges. Here are just a few recent updates - from cyclone forecasts to Gemini robotics and 2.5 updates and unlocking new understanding of genome regulation: 🌀 Cyclone Mode + Weather Lab: As extreme weather events become more common, accurate real-time forecasts are more important than ever. Our AI-based model predicts the track, intensity, and size of a cyclone, while overcoming challenges like sparse data. We're sharing an experimental model for feedback and collaborating with the National Hurricane Center and others to help develop their forecasts. 🤖 Gemini Robotics: We're making our powerful Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for robotics more accessible than ever with our new on-device model. It delivers flagship-level performance but is small enough to run directly on a robot - crucial for low latency, and poor connectivity environments. 🧬 AlphaGenome: Unlocking the secrets of DNA is fundamental to understanding life. Our new AlphaGenome AI model provides a more comprehensive understanding of the non-coding genome, and achieves SOTA performance across a wide range of genomic prediction benchmarks. 🚀 Gemini 2.5 Updates: We announced the general availability of our Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash models, designed for amazing performance at the Pareto Frontier of cost and speed. The common thread across these breakthroughs? Our belief in the transformative potential of AI to benefit society. Looking forward to seeing these in action! https://lnkd.in/gQAvt6Hy
