12 years. RIP my darling boy.

:( We were working in the camps trying to grow food as PlantVillage Sad to see the situation worsen

My thoughts as a zombie ant loving evolutionary biologist on what just happened to global aid. It is an extinction level event. PlantVillage will continue and focus its work on Agentic AI scaling to hundreds of millions of farmers globally linkedin.com/posts/david-hu…

Wherein I express some thoughts on making ML models attend to lots more information than they do today.

We PlantVillage started to use this wider context window that Gemini allows and have been blown away by the ability to throw multiple images and text at it to get superior responses in languages like Amharic . Really excited by Google's work on this which Jeff discuss below

I am shocked at the extraordinary disrespect shown to a visiting head of state by President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Especially as that country is at war having been invaded. #Zelensky

Happy International Women's day! And to the girls who should not be married and too quickly forced to become women that we try to help via our charity villageyouthfund.org Kate

Our PlantVillage AI diagnosed for this Malawian sample "Leaf damage indicates potential potassium deficiency and minor pest activity. Soil lacks sufficient organic carbon and is low in potassium. No severe threats detected." (pulls in soil/weather data & writes in Nyanja)

This is extremely interesting. PlantVillage we have long used tools like TensorFlow to help farmers grow. But LLM that we now use like Gemini and ChatGPT can help field officers with very little formal training in agriculture come to the level of domain experts, Very exciting

cross posting on research work that we are starting as PlantVillage and our spin out PlantVillage Plus Big shout out to Hopper-Dean Foundation who are fabulous supporters of our efforts to bring about change irrespective of external headwinds. Jeff Dean Thanks 🙏

I and PlantVillage worked very closely with Kip Tom, Farmer and (former) US Ambassador during his time at Food and Agriculture Organization and since then. More 7th generation farmers advocating for food security rather that McKinsey types who seem not to know one end of the plant from the other. Excited to watch what he does in 🇺🇸

Delighted to see a donor stepping in to keep vital efforts like Soy Bean Innovation Lab going aces.illinois.edu/news/1m-gift-k… Such generosity is vital. PlantVillage has only managed due to great donors like Hopper Dean Foundation Jeff Dean Heidi Hopper and Eric Schmidt 🙏

Last year was the hottest year in 125,000 years. Also, it was the coldest year for the rest of your life. Also, we invented agriculture around 12,000 years ago. That means we need to see efforts like those described below. Well done
