🚨Breaking: @GoogleDeepMind’s latest Gemini-2.5-Pro is now ranked #1 across all LMArena leaderboards 🏆 Highlights: - #1 in all text arenas (Coding, Style Control, Creative Writing, etc) - #1 on the Vision leaderboard with a ~70 pts lead! - #1 on WebDev Arena, surpassing Claude for the first time This is the first-ever sweep across text, vision, and WebDev by any model!🥇 Huge congrats to @GoogleDeepMind on this incredible breakthrough!
We’re releasing an updated Gemini 2.5 Pro (I/O edition) to make it even better at coding. 🚀 You can build richer web apps, games, simulations and more - all with one prompt. In @GeminiApp, here's how it transformed images of nature into code to represent unique patterns 🌱

LLMs can play chess! In-context minimax search bootstrapped with values from Stockfish, implemented in Gemini. Paper: storage.googleapis.com/deepm… Breadth 4, depth 2, you start running out of context window. Chess Elo improves with more test-time compute. Really cool work from @ericmalmi @GoogleDeepMind

Our first talk at @IC2S2 today shows that publishing early on arXiv and tweeting leads to more citations in the 5 years from the initial publication. Excellent talk and work by @c_bagchi! Our (revised, soon to appear) paper is accepted to ICWSM'25: arxiv.org/abs/2401.11116 – at Philadelphia, PA

Hope to see you tomorrow at the #NAACL2022 Text Generation with Text-Editing Models tutorial! It is held both physically in Ballroom Columbia A and virtually via Zoom from 9am to 12:30pm (PDT), with Q&A sessions from 8-8:45am and 12:30-1pm. @ericmalmi, @varphi, @alseveryn
A lot of NLP is moving to larger models, casting everything as generation (looking at you, T5 & co), but there's a countertrend: fast Text-Editing models, casting generation as seq labeling. Learn more at our #NAACL2022 tutorial: text-editing.github.io/

Did you know that the only Finnish word in regular use in English is "sauna"? 🤔 In virtually every way, Finnish is unlike any language you’ll ever study. Read more about this beautifully unique language in our latest blog post: blog.duolingo.com/finnish-a-…
