Like it or not, modern sw engineering is no longer done without LLMs (AI) and will no longer be done without. Whoever doesn’t want to use AI, no problem: but you won’t be hired at 99.9% of startups+Big Tech+ambitious companies, even today It’s as part of sw dev as the keyboard

Might be the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).

Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model. It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

BREAKING: President Trump has rejected calls for an AI slowdown after CEOs of AI tech titans expressed safety concerns that the technology poses an existential threat, per FT. "We’re leading China in AI ... and, frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI, wins,” Trump said. The AI arms race appears to be accelerating.

What a difference 20 years makes incredible

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read 😂 Three hiking novices asked Gemini how to climb 14,179-ft Mount Shasta. It packed them for an 8-hour day. They left camp 3 a.m. They were supposed to summit by 7 p.m. Gemini said pack simple carbs, not fats, because fats “take too long to digest” Horrible advice 😂 Phones died. Backup chargers died. One person blew their knee out. Night fell on them at 11,000 ft in Mud Creek Canyon, with no extra layers. They survived but barely. “We relied too much on AI rather than our own critical thinking.” You think? 😂

Very controversial take: with AI models getting this good, as an early adopter of Jetpack Compose, I honestly think Views are now a far more performant and reliable way to build Android apps. The problem Jetpack Compose solved was verbose code, but it introduced the complexity of recomposition. Now AI can handle most of that verbose code anyway. It’s funny how perspectives change with time.

I'm moving away from my local dev setup Makes zero sense to me now

Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app. We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient. It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation. #GoogleDesign #MaterialDesign #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev #UXDesign #InteractionDesign

Android Bench evaluates LLMs against Android tasks to give you insight into how helpful models are for Android development. We just added eight new models, including: 🔹 GPT 5.6 Sol 🔹 Claude Opus 5 🔹 Kimi K3 🔹 Qwen3.8 Max Full leaderboard → goo.gle/4swdpRe

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has expressed concern about new talent joining the firm for financial compensation rather than alignment with the company's core safety and research mission, per Axios

A company has released a "human refrigerator" to combat extreme heat It blasts the user with cold air to cool down their entire body within 10 minutes

BREAKING: Billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel is "appaled that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his Manhattan penthouse as the backdrop as the tax-the-rich video," per Bloomberg As a result, Griffin has raised the possibility that the company might not move forward with a massive new Midtown construction project.
