How do you build personalized AI tech that truly understands what matters to you? With Dreambeans from @GoogleLabs, we're safely connecting the dots across your digital life. Instead of siloing pieces of data one app at a time, Dreambeans gathers details from connected sources like @Gmail, Calendar, Search, @GeminiApp, and through face grouping in your @googlephotos. It might notice your friend Beth's birthday is coming up, generate a one-of-a-kind illustrated story of the two of you, and surface the perfect gift ideas. Rather than doomscrolling an endless feed, you’ll get a daily in-app notification from Dreambeans when your customized “stories” are ready. And when a story clicks with you, you can tap the illustrated tile to find additional info and direct links to the next step, whether that’s watching a movie trailer or buying a suggested gift. This experience is opt-in, transparent, and protected by strict privacy filters. And because you are always in control, you can simply tap the "thumbs down" button on any story if a suggestion misses the mark, helping the system learn what is actually useful to you.

Our @GoogleResearch Connectomics team, in collaboration with @HHMIJanelia, has released the complete wiring diagram of a male fruit fly’s brain and central nervous system — the largest brain map by number of proofread neurons to date. So, why do we care so much about a tiny fly's brain? 🧵👇
Because it’s a stepping stone to understanding our own. Nervous systems across species share surprising similarities. By using AI to map these smaller organisms (like flies and fish), we are paving the way for research that could one day help treat and repair human neural and cognitive ailments.
Check out this week’s shipping recap: — Gemini 3.8 Flash, our most intelligent workhorse model yet, delivers upgrades across coding, agentic workflows, and critical multi-step reasoning. — Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, our most capable cybersecurity model, features frontier-level performance in vulnerability detection and automated patching. — Lyria 3.5, our newest music generation model, is now available via the Gemini API, and across @GoogleAIStudio, @GeminiApp, @FlowbyGoogle, and Google Vids. — WeatherNext 3, our most advanced and accurate global weather AI model, is here from @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch. — Agentic Video Understanding, our new video analysis feature available via the Gemini API in @GoogleAIStudio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, improves accuracy while dramatically reducing token usage and costs.
Introducing WeatherNext 3️⃣— our most advanced global weather AI model yet from @GoogleDeepmind and @GoogleResearch With prediction capabilities that are up to 5x sharper than WeatherNext 2, the model generates a forecast with high spatial resolution in order to catch fast-evolving rainstorms, map local temperature shifts, and even help wind farms predict their power output. So, how does it do that? While traditional weather models rely on massive, physics-based supercomputer simulations that can carry a 6-hour forecast lag, WeatherNext 3 leverages live geostationary satellite observations as inputs and trains directly on real-world surface and atmospheric observations. By pulling this raw satellite data, it’s able to update the global forecast every single hour. And because weather develops at lightning speed, these quick, detailed insights can help bring more localized forecasting to billions of people and local businesses, especially in regions that are historically underserved due to the high costs of traditional weather forecasting models.
WeatherNext 3 will begin enhancing weather experiences within Google Search, @GeminiApp, @googlemaps, @GMapsPlatform Weather API and @googleearth Engine starting today Dive into the tech: blog.google/innovation-and…

Step into the map with the Street View grounding feature in Project Genie from @GoogleDeepmind and @GoogleLabs. Announced at I/O, this research prototype uses locations from @GoogleMaps Street View as a foundation, letting you generate and explore interactive, 360-degree virtual environments from just a text prompt or real-world starting place. Cool, right? But… How does it actually work? 🤔 As an experimental tool, Project Genie tackles the "blank space" problem (showing both what’s in front of the camera and behind it) by utilizing Street View data to realistically generate a 360-degree view of the location you selected as the starting point for your world to generate from. Worlds generated by Genie are far more dynamic and rich because they’re created frame-by-frame based on the world description and user actions. By predicting each subsequent frame, Genie is able to simulate what it looks like to swim across an ocean, or hike to the top of a peak, marking a massive shift in interactive media and simulation pipelines. What real-world place would you want to step into and explore?
As generative AI tools continue to evolve, we believe it's more important than ever to know what's AI-generated and what isn't. That’s why @GoogleDeepMind launched SynthID in 2023—a technology that adds a hidden digital watermark to AI content. Here’s a summary of SynthID’s journey and where the provenance technology (the documented history and origin of digital content) is today: — SynthID watermarking was originally built for images, but now supports video, audio, and text. — The technology has watermarked over 100 billion images and videos, alongside 60,000 years of audio. — You can now verify content with SynthID directly in Google Search, Gemini in Chrome, and the @GeminiApp, where it has been utilized over 50 million times. — We’ve also adopted C2PA Content Credentials across a growing number of our generative AI tools. This includes the images and videos created within the Gemini app. So now, in addition to the SynthID watermark, you can also see where an image or video originated and how it’s been altered. — We have open-sourced our text watermarking technology, and we are working with companies like @OpenAI, @NVIDIA, and @Apple to apply SynthID to generative media. Let us know what you think of the tool so far!
