In December, we kicked off the agentic era by releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Flash — our highly efficient workhorse model for developers with low latency and enhanced performance. Earlier this year, we updated 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental in Google AI Studio, which improved its performance by combining Flash’s speed with the ability…

Our next iteration of the FSF sets out stronger security protocols on the path to AGI AI is a powerful tool that is helping to unlock new breakthroughs and make significant progress on some of the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to drug discovery. But as its development progresses, advanced capabilities may…

While video models often “hallucinate” unwanted details — extra fingers or unexpected objects, for example — Veo 2 produces these less frequently, making outputs more realistic. Our commitment to safety and responsible development has guided Veo 2. We have been intentionally measured in growing Veo’s availability, so we can help identify, understand and improve the…

A note from Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai: Information is at the core of human progress. It’s why we’ve focused for more than 26 years on our mission to organize the world’s information and make it accessible and useful. And it’s why we continue to push the frontiers of AI to organize that information…

AI is revolutionizing the landscape of scientific research, enabling advancements at a pace that was once unimaginable — from accelerating drug discovery to designing new materials for clean energy technologies. The AI for Science Forum — co-hosted by Google DeepMind and the Royal Society — brought together the scientific community, policymakers, and industry leaders to…

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize drug discovery, material design and fundamental physics — that is, if we can get them to work reliably. Certain problems, which would take a conventional computer billions of years to solve, would take a quantum computer just hours. However, these new processors are more prone to noise than…
