Matrix multiplication is the basic computational operation that powers modern computing (including AI). Yet, the theoretical fastest speed at which computers can multiply matrices (omega ω) is still unknown and has been a longstanding challenge for complexity theory and computer science. Today, we announce a new record for omega (ω<2.371177). This is the result of a great team effort between @GoogleDeepMind, our academic collaborators, and our Gemini-powered coding agent AlphaEvolve! 🧮 arxiv.org/abs/2608.16884v1

🚀One billion for Gemini! Our goal remains to make it the most personal, proactive, and powerful assistant. Here’s what we’re learning from the first billion, and what’s coming next…

Timely patent document email today about some past work with @jainprateek_ @inderjit_ml and @JeffDean and some awesome people about a few year old work on training neural networks 🥺

Tomorrow will be my last day at Google after 27 years, and watching it grow from 25 people to 190,000+ has been an amazing journey. Below is a note I shared with many people internally at Google today. An excerpt is: It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you and to help build some of the most widely used and impactful products of all time. As a kid, I dreamed of helping build software that would be used by many people, and Google now has thirteen products used by more than a billion people (amazing!). Our work has had a tremendous impact in the world, and I have been lucky enough to collaborate and form friendships with many colleagues that I deeply admire, respect, and enjoy. It still brings me joy every time I see people out in the world using our products to find information, handle email, translate documents, watch videos, learn new things, navigate and understand the physical world, browse the web, use their phone, run large-scale computations on our infrastructure, ride in an autonomous vehicle, or perform complex tasks with the help of our AI systems. I hope you all share this sense of joy, because it is a shared accomplishment! Thank you to all of my colleagues at Google over many years! Now I'm excited to go start @DiscoLoopAI with my longtime friends and colleagues @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML, and @quocleix. (Updated post: slightly redacted to not have some personal info)
