1/4 #Android's toolkit for building productivity and creativity apps is ever expanding. We recently launched in Cahier, our inking sample, a very cool tool that allows designers and developers to build custom brushes without having to fiddle with code, graphics, or geometry.

The Gemini Large Scale Pretrain team is hiring a Research Engineer in London or MTV! The team works across the pretrain stack: research codebases, distributed training infra, data pipelines, tooling for training dynamics analysis, and most importantly using Gemini to accelerate our work! ๐
If you're an engineer who has a strong "whatever it takes" attitude and is not afraid of spending tokens, apply here with some showcase work: google.com/about/careers/appโฆ
No particular qualifications needed, and we welcome early career applicants. Join if you want me to bug you with refactors to enable [new AGI compute multiplier]! ๐

Since launching in 2021, our Android Earthquake Alerts System has sent 1B+ alerts. Now weโre expanding the system from 98 to nearly 200 countries and regions.
Proud how this technology can help in moments that really matter. As one example, when the devastating earthquakes hit Venezuela this year, millions of people outside the epicenter got alerts and could take cover before the shaking began.

We've just released a new official Android skill that can be used to statically analyse your #JetpackCompose code for performance improvements. โก๏ธ
Install it, and ask your agent to run the skill on your code. ๐งโ๐ป
We've seen some good results running it internally - give it a try and let us know any feedback!

Gemini 4 Argon is here.
Itโs available globally today for developers and enterprises in the paid tier of the Gemini API and the Gemini platform, for Ultra subscribers in Google Antigravity, and Ultra and Pro subscribers in the Gemini app and Search.
Hope you all enjoy it!
Chris Koffi ASSIGBE retweeted
Today we are rolling out Gemini 4 Argon globally in the Gemini API, to Pro + Ultra in Gemini App, and Ultra subs in Antigravity!
Argon is a huge step forward for Gemini, and a labor of love. This model has been battle tested by over 100,000 people at Google over the last month, with so much new innovation, ambition, and hard work baked into this release. The team has been heads down over the last 6 months working to make this possible across the stack (research, infra, safety, eng, etc).
We rolled the model out to cyber defenders as part of our fairwind program and early access customers over the last 2 weeks, it has been amazing to see and talk to folks who are now using this model daily. Seeing the models writing capability, raw knowledge and persistence for coding, paired with new features like 1M token output when the model needs to work more has gotten me even more excited about our path ahead.
This is just the start of the Gemini 4 era. As you saw with 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 Flash, our iteration speed with Gemini is fast : ) Now with Gemini 4 Argon to work from, I am cannot wait to see the progress continue, and most importantly see what this new model enables for the world.
This is such a special moment in the arc of technology, as millions of people everyday tackle problems they could never have thought possible before. Gemini 4 Argon was built to help you tackle the hardest problems. I have personally felt this spark with Argon and hope you do too. Onwards!!

Google Deepmind (FNV3) CRUSHED the forecast for #Isaias up to 11 days in advance. It picked up some appreciable signal on September 23, locked in on the exact landfall location4 days before it happened, and nailed the peak intensity consistently 3 days before it happened. A new age of forecasting is upon us.
