🥁Introducing Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent model with impressive capabilities in advanced reasoning and coding. Now integrating thinking capabilities, 2.5 Pro Experimental is our most performant Gemini model yet. It’s #1 on lmarena.ai (formerly lmsys.org) leaderboard. 🥇

Thrilled to share that the amazing work of Shuhan Tan (Max Jiang's and I's intern at Waymo Research last summer) is accepted to CVPR 2025! SceneDiffuser++ fulfills a vision we've had in mind for several years, and we weren't sure if it was even possible. More details soon!

More than 5x growth in paid trips from this time last year — each ride contributing to safer streets and more accessible mobility for all. Here’s to millions more!

Great overview on the parallelism techniques needed for LLM training/inference from the new CS336 class at Stanford (Tatsunori Hashimoto & Percy Liang): youtube.com/watch?v=l1RJcD…. Info-dense and doesn't shy away from the technical details!

Our Gemini 2.5 tech report ✨ is finally out on arXiv -- grateful for the collaboration with brilliant colleagues! arxiv.org/pdf/2507.06261
