Opus 4.6 is our most capable Computer Use model to date. Excited for everyone to give Computer Use a try with Claude in Chrome, Cowork, and Claude Code! To celebrate, I let Claude (4.6) Monet show off his artistic side in the Claude for Chrome extension.
Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade. Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes. It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.

I'm excited about this! Our team has been working really hard to improve Gemini 1.5 capabilities significantly on multiple fronts and in particular MATH/STEM! Please see the report here: goo.gle/GeminiV1-5
Today we have published our updated Gemini 1.5 Model Technical Report. As @JeffDean highlights, we have made significant progress in Gemini 1.5 Pro across all key benchmarks; TL;DR: 1.5 Pro > 1.0 Ultra, 1.5 Flash (our fastest model) ~= 1.0 Ultra. As a math undergrad, our drastic results in mathematics are particularly exciting to me! In section 7 of the tech report, we present new results on a math-specialised variant of Gemini 1.5 Pro which performs strongly on competition-level math problems, including a breakthrough performance of 91.1% on Hendryck’s MATH benchmark without tool-use (examples below 🧵). Gemini 1.5 is widely available, try it out for free here aistudio.google.com & read the full tech report here: goo.gle/GeminiV1-5

In writing this paper, there were countless features we thought might be bugs. After careful inspection, ~all of them revealed surprising and subtle model properties. To me this capacity for surprise is the true test of a new technique. This thread is about my favorite finding.
The fact that most individual neurons are uninterpretable presents a serious roadblock to a mechanistic understanding of language models. We demonstrate a method for decomposing groups of neurons into interpretable features with the potential to move past that roadblock.

Excited to announce that the entire Blueshift team has joined @DeepMind! We will be working with @OriolVinyalsML and others to advance capabilities of LLMs developed by DM / Alphabet! We hope to continue to grow DM's presence in Bay Area and New York in the coming months :-)

1/ Super excited to introduce #Minerva 🦉(goo.gle/3yGpTN7). Minerva was trained on math and science found on the web and can solve many multi-step quantitative reasoning problems.

2/ Among many impressive properties, one side effect of training on the web is that Minerva has seen text used to draw mathematical figures and so can sometimes reason about diagrams.

Super excited to share Minerva!! – a language model that is capable of solving MATH with 50% success rate, which was predicted to happen in 2025 by Steinhardt et. al. (bounded-regret.ghost.io/ai-f…)! #Minerva 1/

Language models have shown strong performance on a variety of #NLU tasks but are weaker at solving tasks that involve quantitative reasoning. Learn how #Minerva uses step-by-step reasoning to achieve a new state of the art on quantitative reasoning tasks→ goo.gle/3yGpTN7

BIG-bench was the single biggest reason I joined @jaschasd's team at Google a year ago! Not only is it ground-breaking science—evaluating 200+ diverse tasks on 30+ LMs, it is also a revolutionary way of doing science: inviting the entirely community to join from the very start.

Replying to @FelixHill84
You may want to check out the Symbol-Interpretation task in Big-Bench [f1]. PaLM and other LLMs do not go further than random-chance (20%), even >0-shot. Avg human scores 36%, best human 100%. [f2-3]
