Advancing science & engineering with Antigravity’s /teamwork
Over the past several weeks, teams across Google and academic partner institutions have tackled open problems in math, science, and complex systems engineering that had remained open for years. We are making these agentic tools available in Antigravity’s /teamwork (alongside /boost and other agents) so that researchers and developers can apply them to their own work.

llm-gemini 0.37
Release: llm-gemini 0.37 Google launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen today - the lowest cost member of the Gemini 4 family. It's actually not too far off the price of its much bigger siblings, Carbon and Argon. I'm finding Gemini 4's pricing really confusing.
Google's Gemini 4 Hydrogen outscores the bigger Argon just four weeks after its launch
Google's Gemini 4 Hydrogen replaces the Flash series, but benchmarks suggest it also makes the pricier Argon obsolete. On the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Hydrogen nearly matches Claude Sonnet 5.5 for less money but costs about 2.5 times more per task than GPT-6.1 Sol and still falls short on agentic coding.
Google’s new Gemini model is better at understanding complicated questions
Google says its new Gemini 4 Hydrogen model can give more helpful answers to complex questions, including "questions with multiple parts, hard-to-understand typos, or highly specific requests." The new model can break down your questions and address each part in its responses.
Google rolls out Gemini 4 Hydrogen, finally replacing 3.8 Flash
Gemini 4 Hydrogen isn't getting a slow, security-conscious release like Carbon and Argon.
OpenAI’s data suggests that frontier models are hiding their thoughts because developers optimize for capability and compute
OpenAI's safety team systematically investigated why the chains of thought in frontier models like GPT-6 Astra are increasingly evading oversight. Four training steps drive the erosion, including architecture choices and reinforcement learning. The analysis shows that the loss of transparency is not a law of nature but also reflects tradeoffs around capability and cost.
Introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen
Hydrogen brings cutting-edge intelligence to everyone. Today, we’re introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen, bringing cutting-edge intelligence to everyone — with speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic workflows.
Google’s latest Search upgrade promises better answers to your most complicated questions
Powered by Gemini 4 Hydrogen, Google's AI Mode is getting better at understanding complex queries, surfacing relevant links, and delivering richer visual responses.

[AINews] D-Day (Decision Models Day)
Google enters the decision model market. At AI Engineer, Cloudflare showed which parts of a build failure a classifier could handle. TypeSafe AI showed off their production customers.
Google joins the decision-model wave with Gemini Decision 1, scoring 1,000 questions in a single pass
Google Deepmind's new Gemini Decisions API evaluates up to 1,000 closed-ended questions in a single pass across text, images, audio, and video. Gemini Decision 1 returns results in 150 to 250 milliseconds at roughly five times lower cost than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, according to Google.
Google Deepmind's AlphaProof Code verified Signal's cryptographic core in four weeks instead of years
Google Deepmind's AlphaProof Code mathematically verified Signal's cryptographic core code in four weeks, a process that typically takes years. AI agents powered by Gemini Carbon wrote more than six million lines of proof code and flagged only about one percent for human review. Deepmind plans to extend the method to critical infrastructure like power grids and medical devices.

llm-gemini 0.36
Release: llm-gemini 0.36 Gemini 4 Carbon was announced two weeks ago for "a subset of cyber defenders", but today it's available to everyone else .
Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2.5 scores 96 percent sorting metal parts in a Mercedes-Benz assembly pilot
Google Deepmind introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, a new control model for robots, and tested it with Apptronik on active Mercedes-Benz production lines in Hungary and Germany. The humanoid robot Apollo 2 sorted metal parts there with a reported success rate of 96 percent.
Gemini 4 Carbon arrives just in time to feel like yesterday's news in the fastest model cycle yet
Google is making Gemini 4 Carbon generally available after a two-week testing phase. The model ranks first in several benchmarks, in some cases ahead of Anthropic's new Fable 5.2, at less than half the per-task cost. Google is also previewing coordinated agent teams through the "/swarm" feature, which split up complex tasks in real time.
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
Today, we’re making Gemini 4 Carbon available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers. Carbon is our strongest model with frontier performance in cybersecurity capabilities and long-horizon agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering, and scientific reasoning.
NVIDIA Expands Open Source Commitment With OpenShell Contribution and New AI Infrastructure
Kubernetes, the open source system that manages how applications run across thousands of AI factories, has become the foundation for AI, and the demands on it are only growing. To help meet them, NVIDIA is deepening its commitment to open source at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, the flagship conference for the Kubernetes and cloud-native communities.
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI.
