Eid Mubarak! As the month of Ramadan comes to an end, wishing health, peace and happiness to all who celebrate.
Glad to see Gecko featured as the text embedding model in the Gemini API! developers.googleblog.com/2024/04/gemini…

New report from our Threat Analysis Group + @Mandiant observed 97 zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in the wild in 2023, up 50% from 2022. Good news: investments are making a difference - vulnerabilities once common are virtually non-existent today. blog.google/technology/saf…

Just over a year ago, a few of us got together to brainstorm a brand new project called Gemini ♊️. So grateful for the impact across @Google. Huge thanks to everyone who's supported this journey – and we ain't slowing down! 🚀🌊 #Gemini #AI
Bard is becoming Gemini, and we’re launching two new experiences: 1️⃣ Gemini Advanced, which gives you access to Ultra 1.0, our most capable AI model 2️⃣ A new mobile app for easier collaboration on the go Learn more ↓ goo.gle/489fXtT
Bard, powered by the Gemini Pro-scale model, debuts at the #2 position on the independent lmsys leaderboard. 🔥 Give it a try at bard.google.com. Bard is much better & has many more capabilities since its debut in March, thanks to everyone on the Bard/Gemini teams!

My TEDAI talk from Oct 2023 is now live: go.ted.com/percyliang It was a hard talk to give: 1. I memorized it - felt more like giving a piano recital than an academic talk. 2. I wanted it to be timeless despite AI changing fast…still ok after 3 months. Here’s what I said:
Top three phones by elo score in large study of smartphone cameras conducted by @MKBHD and team: Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel Fold. Lots of great computational photography and ML behind the scenes to make this happen!

Unbearably sad to lose Luiz. He was behind so many of Google’s technical achievements, writing the book on our data centers, leading the design of our computing infrastructure, and so much more. He was at the top of his field, earning ACM’s highest honor in computer architecture.…
Happy 25th birthday @Google! 🎂 Thanks to everyone who uses our products and challenges us to keep innovating and to all Googlers!
Thrilled to share my team's work on Google Bard (bard.google.com)! LLMs often "hallucinate", so we created a feature that lets you double-check Bard's claims: press the "G" button and we'll highlight claims in either green or orange & link you to relevant web content. 🧵

We’re proud to announce that DeepMind and the Brain team from @Google Research will become a new unit: 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱. Together, we'll accelerate progress towards a world where AI can help solve the biggest challenges facing humanity. → dpmd.ai/google-deepmind
Introducing Demonstrate–Search–Predict (𝗗𝗦𝗣), a framework for composing search and LMs w/ up to 120% gains over GPT-3.5. No more prompt engineering.❌ Describe a high-level strategy as imperative code and let 𝗗𝗦𝗣 deal with prompts and queries.🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2212.14024
Great to have @60Minutes on campus to check out some of the AI technologies across @Google and @DeepMind that will power the next generation of our products, and the bold + responsible approach we're taking with AI. cbsnews.com/news/google-ar…
Google is partnering with AI coding company Replit, which will use Google's LLMs for its Ghostwriter product: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Gecko elastic embeddings powered by Matryoshka🪆 announced today at @Google CloudNext today! Available through Cloud (Vertex) and Google AI Studio. developers.googleblog.com/2024/04/gemini…
Eid Mubarak! As the month of Ramadan comes to an end, wishing health, peace and happiness to all who celebrate.
Glad to see Gecko featured as the text embedding model in the Gemini API! developers.googleblog.com/2024/04/gemini…
@din0s_ @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleAI @Google @labsdotgoogle text-embedding-preview-0409 and text-multilingual-embedding-preview-0409 are the newest Gecko models that we just released! This will be more clear from the MTEB leaderboard soon :)
Need document retrieval, semantic similarity, classification, and more? Gecko does it all! 🙌 Surprisingly powerful for its size, Gecko-1B (768-dim) beats most of the baselines including the bigger ones on the MTEB benchmark.
Gecko's power comes from our novel LLM distillation pipeline. It generates queries, mines positive/negative examples, then delivers top MTEB scores by leveraging the high quality synthetic dataset called FRet.
This exciting project was a massive collaboration with @GoogleDeepMind, @Googlecloud, @GoogleAI, @labsdotgoogle, and many other teams across @Google. Dive into the details in our paper: deepmind.google/research/publi… #Embedding #NLP #LLMs
