Excited to release a super capable family of image-text models from our TIPS #ICLR2025 paper! github.com/google-deepmind/t…
We have models from ViT-S to -g, with spatial awareness, suitable to many multimodal AI applications. Can’t wait to see what the community will build with them!

Astra dethroned
Gemini 4 Argon is the best "vision" model
#1 for detection:
- tight, precise boxes
- dense scenes
#1 for text extraction:
- small text
- handwritten text
- complex tables
- rotated text
4× cheaper than Astra at high

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!
It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback.
Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

True multimodal AI needs to understand the world spatially 🎯
🚀 Excited to release #CVPR2026 TIPSv2 from @GoogleDeepMind, a foundational image-text encoder with spatial awareness, leading to strong overall results and massive gains on patch-text alignment. 🔥

Gemini 3 Pro is the frontier of multimodal AI, delivering SOTA performance across document, screen, spatial, and video understanding.
Read our deep dive on how we’ve pushed our core capabilities to power hero use cases across:
+ Docs: "derender" complex docs into structured code (HTML/LaTeX)
+ Screen: build robust computer agents that automate complex tasks
+ Spatial: generate collision-free trajectories for robotics & XR
+ Video: analyze sports footage using high-FPS processing with "thinking" mode
See how these capabilities are transforming workflows in education, biomedical, and law/finance → goo.gle/3Mt3UlT

We’ve been intensely cooking Gemini 3 for a while now, and we’re so excited and proud to share the results with you all. Of course it tops the leaderboards, including @arena, HLE, GPQA etc, but beyond the benchmarks it’s been by far my favourite model to use for its style and depth, and what it can do to help with everyday tasks.

Introducing Gemini 3 ✨
It’s the best model in the world for multimodal understanding, and our most powerful agentic + vibe coding model yet. Gemini 3 can bring any idea to life, quickly grasping context and intent so you can get what you need with less prompting.
Find Gemini 3 Pro rolling out today in the @Geminiapp and AI Mode in Search. For developers, build with it now in @GoogleAIStudio and Vertex AI.
Excited for you to try it!

Multimodal AI encoders often lack spatial understanding… but not anymore! Our #ICLR2025 TIPS model (Text-Image Pretraining with Spatial awareness) from @GoogleDeepMind can help 💡🚀
Check out our strong & versatile image-text encoder 💪

Want some TIPS? Well, then check out “Text-Image Pretraining with Spatial awareness” :)
TIPS is a general-purpose image-text encoder, for off-the-shelf dense and image-level prediction. Finally image-text pretraining with spatially-aware representations!

📢📢 New 3D dataset! 📢📢
OmniNOCS is a NOCS (Normalized Object Coordinate Space) dataset that unifies data across different domains with 90+ classes. Internship project of @shay_krishnan , w/ @_abhijit_kundu_ , @jhhays , Matthew Brown.

OmniNOCS
unified NOCS dataset and model for 3D lifting of 2D objects
We propose OmniNOCS, a large-scale monocular dataset with 3D Normalized Object Coordinate Space (NOCS) maps, object masks, and 3D bounding box annotations for indoor and outdoor scenes. OmniNOCS has 20 times more object classes and 200 times more instances than existing NOCS datasets (NOCS-Real275, Wild6D). We use OmniNOCS to train a novel, transformer-based monocular NOCS prediction model (NOCSformer) that can predict accurate NOCS, instance masks and poses from 2D object detections across diverse classes. It is the first NOCS model that can generalize to a broad range of classes when prompted with 2D boxes. We evaluate our model on the task of 3D oriented bounding box prediction, where it achieves comparable results to state-of-the-art 3D detection methods such as Cube R-CNN. Unlike other 3D detection methods, our model also provides detailed and accurate 3D object shape and segmentation. We propose a novel benchmark for the task of NOCS prediction based on OmniNOCS, which we hope will serve as a useful baseline for future work in this area.

New paper 📢📢
TL;DR: We introduce OmniNOCS: a multi-domain NOCS dataset with 90+ object classes. Our model trained on OmniNOCS can predict 6DoF object pose and partial shape from their 2D detections, even generalizing to in-the-wild images!
