Huge congratulations Shreyas @shrez_royal09 - youngest ever British chess champion at just 17! Happy to have played a small part in supporting your journey to the top. Congratulations to the amazing Bodhana too!

🏆 The 2026 British Chess Championships are complete! ♔ British Champion: Shreyas Royal ♕ British Women's Champion: Bodhana Sivanandan, who claimed the title after a dramatic rapid play-off against Trisha Kanyamarala. Congratulations to all of this year's champions ! ❤️♟️



Really enjoyed talking to @bzcohen about AlphaGo's famous move 37 and the significance of it 10 years on for math and science breakthroughs in verifiable domains

A decade ago, a computer did something that no human would have done. It was considered a breakthrough for AI. Now the world is full of them. https://on.wsj.com/4waySAp
I’ve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, I’m stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease. I’m excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀 https://t.co/2WtlIIlTUa
Gemini Robotics 2 is here, with our new suite of models, robots can now reason through every movement to manage tasks that weren’t possible before, like tying delicate knots - and even team up to solve complex workflows. Huge congrats to the robotics team on this great milestone!

One brain. For any robot. 🤖 We’re launching Gemini Robotics 2: our next-generation physical AI bringing full body intelligence to humanoids, advanced dexterity, multi-robot teamwork and more.
A strong and secure open ecosystem is important for the world to benefit from AI. We’ve always supported and contributed heavily to open source and science from Jax to Transformers to AlphaFold to Gemma open models which have now been downloaded 300M+ times. And the standards framework we’ve proposed supports responsible deployment of both open and proprietary models.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. https://t.co/AUKzoQ5Ikb

Just getting started!
John、9年間の素晴らしいパートナーシップと協力をありがとう!AlphaFoldで成し遂げたことは世界を変え、AIで科学と医療に何ができるかを業界に示し、AIが人類にどう貢献できるかの道を照らしました。

Thanks John for an extraordinary partnership and wonderful collaboration over the past 9 years! What we achieved with AlphaFold changed the world, and showed the field what was possible with AI for science and medicine, lighting the way for how AI can benefit humanity.

A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.
テキスト拡散のこの革新的な取り組みを見ることができて素晴らしい。DiffusionGemmaは超高速で、他のGemma 4モデルより4倍速い!@bodonoghue85とチームの皆さんの努力に拍手。これを使ってどんなものが作られるか楽しみです!

Awesome to see this innovation in text diffusion. DiffusionGemma is lightning fast, 4x faster than other Gemma 4 models! Congrats to @bodonoghue85 and the team who worked so hard on this - excited to see what people build with it!

Meet DiffusionGemma! An experimental open model that explores a fast approach to text generation, released under an Apache 2.0 license. Moving beyond sequential, token-by-token processes to generate entire blocks of text simultaneously. Here’s what’s new with DiffusionGemma: 👇
Gemma 4の1億5000万以上ダウンロード達成を祝い、新しいGemma 4 12Bモデルをリリースしました!こんなに小さいモデルとは思えないほど強力で、16GB VRAMのノートパソコンでローカルに実行できるほどコンパクト。Apache 2.0ライセンス - ぜひ使ってみてください!

Celebrating the milestone of a massive 150+ million downloads of Gemma 4 with the release of the new Gemma 4 12B model! It's incredibly powerful for such a small model and it’s tiny enough to run locally on a laptop with just 16GB VRAM. Apache 2.0 license - happy building!

Meet Gemma 4 12B! A unified, encoder-free multimodal model designed to bring high-performance intelligence directly to your laptop, and released under an Apache 2.0 license. Bridging the gap between edge efficiency and advanced reasoning. Here is what’s new with Gemma 4 12B: 👇

決まった! 🚀

On our way to I/O 2026. See you at 10am PT tomorrow!
マウスポインタをインテリジェントに再設計するチーム素晴らしい仕事!@GoogleAIStudio でプロトタイプ試してみて、めっちゃマジカルだよ。

Really cool work from the team reimagining the mouse pointer to be intelligent! Try the prototype in @GoogleAIStudio it's pretty magical.

We’re reimagining a 50-year-old interface - the mouse pointer - with AI. 🖱️ These experimental demos show how people can intuitively direct Gemini on their screens using motion, speech, and natural shorthand to get things done 🧵
@Konstantine と @sequoia との楽しく幅広いチャットをありがとうございました!最後の質問が最高でした - von Neumann FTW 😀

Thanks @Konstantine and @sequoia for such a fun and wide-ranging chat! Loved the final question - von Neumann FTW 😀

Sir @demishassabis has a mind for synthesis. His favorite book is about a grand theory of everything. His preferred philosophers are seen by some as opposites. His life's work ranges from board games to Nobel-winning science. We're grateful to have hosted Demis and his @GoogleDeepMind team at @sequoia AI Ascent last week for a fireside chat. He kindly gave us permission to share this, and you can watch the full video here: 00:00 Intro 00:38 The Common Thread 01:29 Games as AI Training 02:59 Startup Advice 1.0 04:39 Founding DeepMind 07:25 DeepMind and AGI 08:52 AI for Science 10:37 Biology Breakthroughs and Isomorphic 12:42 New Sciences 20:29 Philosophy
このコンサーチョーションを本当に楽しみました - @garrytan がホストしてくれてありがとうございました!

Really enjoyed this conversation - thanks again @garrytan for hosting!

Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) has had one of the most extraordinary careers in tech. He started as a chess prodigy and video game designer at 17 before getting a PhD in neuroscience and going on to found DeepMind. His lab cracked Go, solved protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, and then gave it away free to every scientist on earth. That work won him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today he leads @GoogleDeepMind, pushing toward the same goal he set as a teenager: AGI. On this special live episode of How to Build the Future, he sat down with YC's @garrytan to talk about what still needs to happen to get us to AGI, his advice for founders on how to stay ahead of the curve, and what the next big scientific breakthroughs might be. 01:48 — What’s Missing Before We Get To AGI? 03:36 — Why Memory Is Still Unsolved 06:14 — How AlphaGo Shaped Gemini 08:06 — Why Smaller Models Are Getting So Powerful 10:46 — The 1000x Engineer 12:40 — Continual Learning and the Future of Agents 13:32 — Why AI Still Fails at Basic Reasoning 15:33 — Are Agents Overhyped or Just Getting Started? 18:31 — Can AI Become Truly Creative? 20:26 — Open Models, Gemma, and Local AI 22:26 — Why Gemini Was Built Multimodal 24:08 — What Happens When Inference Gets Cheap? 25:24 — From AlphaFold to the Virtual Cells 28:24 — AI as the Ultimate Tool for Science 30:43 — Advice for Founders 33:30 — The AlphaFold Breakthrough Pattern 35:20 — Can AI Make Real Scientific Discoveries? 37:59 — What to Build Before AGI Arrives

It’s incredible! Banksy is a genius.

Congratulations to Westminster Council for their acceptance of Banksy’s brilliant statue near Pall Mall. Let’s hope it stays — a welcome note of calmness and humour at a time of growing extremism.
