Impressive work of the #Bard team that we should all be proud of! And a really great model too! Can't wait for the latest model improvements to land in Europe ⏳

On this independent leaderboard, Bard is now #2 (and it is free). I have been a first hand witness to the extraordinary levels of innovation that my collaborators on the Bard team have produced at unparalleled speed. Excited about what's coming next in 2024!

Great to finally see our model on THE chatbot leaderboard! It really is the best free LLM out there! Can't wait for this version to become available in Europe...

Finally, we get the same great version of #Bard worldwide, including Europe! Our team has launched some big model improvements recently (see chatbot arena), and I'm really happy that it's now available here! bard.google.com/updates

Gemini 1.5-Pro is a pretty good reward model (tops among generative models and second overall in the Reward Bench Leaderboard).

Dozens injured and at least two dead, including a 2yo child, after a US-coordinated midday rocket stricke on a public beach in my hometown. Sad day...

Google is the only company that isn’t hyping even their good stuff. The new Google 2.0 Flash Thinking model is absolutely amazing and insanely cheap too. It's very close to DeepSeek R1 in performance too.

Finally took time to go over Dario's essay on DeepSeek and export control and to be honest it was quite painful to read. And I say this as a great admirer of Anthropic and big user of Claude* The first half of the essay reads like a lengthy attempt to justify that closed-source

DeepSeek did something no one else has done before—it made my parents show true interest in what I am working on for the first time. Really.

Why would anyone who buys a Tesla Model X drive for Uber? Maybe I'm missing something, but this just doesn't make sense to me...

Wow! Being able to use the "blankes" gates for crossing the border makes a huge difference! Thank you, Switzerland, for removing this one segregation of residents.

Why do some articles claim that Grok 3 is available for free users? All I see is an invitation to purchase Premium, so that I can access Grok 2. Thanks, but, no, thanks.

We need to invest in peace not war. We need to invest in innovation, in our education system, and in building epic things that benefit humanity.
