Gemma 4 can run on phones without an internet connection! 🤯 It can perform local agentic tasks, such as logging and analyzing trends. When connected, it can also make API calls. Want to try it yourself? Get the Google AI Edge App on iOS or Android. (🔊 Sound on for the demo!)

Props to @kennethfield for another amazing cartographic creation in @ArcGISPro. The varnish touch on the Path of Totality gives extra pizazz!

Super job by @emilymeriam and @akfitzgibbon. The color choice on the bivariate choropleth really shows the difference between climate frequency and intensity!
See what extreme #precipitation will look like in 2050. Check out our +@akfitzgibbon latest #arcgispro analysis and writeup using layers from #livingatlas. Some of the patterns are already familiar. Here's a couple of maps to lure you in. bit.ly/3wUgnE5
