Another amazing use of AI to empower people, and not leave anyone behind. deepmind.google/blog/putting…
🏛️ Unveiling a new way to converse with antiquity with the "Predicting the Past" skill for Google @antigravity.
This agentic AI partner expands historical research by bridging Gemini’s reasoning with our specialized models, Aeneas and Ithaca.
🏛️ We’re unveiling a new way to converse with the ancient world.
By grounding Gemini directly in our expert models Aeneas and Ithaca, our Predicting the Past Skill in Google @antigravity lets historians study Greek and Latin texts using plain English. 🧵

This is a tutorial on diffusion and flow matching, based on my previous postings here. I’ve made available the PDF, a python notebook for people to play with it, and the TEX source so hopefully one of you can translate to your language. github.com/nandodef/love4all…

Huge congrats to @iassael, @TSommerschield, @shakir_za, and the whole team and our collaborators! Link to the paper here: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
📜 Today, we’re publishing our latest work in Nature introducing Aeneas, the first AI model for connecting the past.
Aeneas is available at predictingthepast.com and along with @RWulgaert we've co-designed a course to teach AI & History in the class.
🚀 Thank you all for making this possible!

In 2022, @GoogleDeepMind launched Ithaca to help restore, place and date ancient texts.
Now, they're working with collaborators to introduce Aeneas, a new AI model that contextualizes ancient Latin inscriptions. 📜

We've shown you the power of Flow; now, let's walk through the simple steps to bring your own images to life with Frames to Video 🤯
Here's how it works:
1. Upload your photo.
2. Tell it the scene, story, and audio you envision.
3. Flow handles the rest!

I ran all of the Sora prompts through Google Veo 2
Interesting how different they are

What a way to celebrate one year of incredible Gemini progress -- #1🥇across the board on overall ranking, as well as on hard prompts, coding, math, instruction following, and more, including with style control on.
Thanks to the hard work of everyone in the Gemini team and elsewhere at Google! 🎊
Big news on Chatbot Arena 🔥
The new @GoogleDeepMind model gemini-exp-1206 is crushing it, and the race is heating up.
Google is back in the #1 spot 🏆overall and tied with O1 for the top coding model!
Highlights (improvement since gemini-exp-1121 in parentheses)
- First place overall (2->1)
- Tied with GPT-4o-1120 after style control (4->1)
- Tied with O1 on coding leaderboard (3->1)
- First place on hard prompts (2->1)
Keep it up @GoogleDeepMind! The rate of progress is crazy. For analysis and to test the model, see below 👇
