    A paper I reviewed for #emnlp2020 got two low scores because: "I worry that this paper is the outcome of a lab with insufficient resources to run meaningful, representative experiments on BERT training." I strongly argued against this sentiment & I'm happy to see it accepted :)

    So happy to see this incredible achievement. Huge congrats to @lmthang, @quocleix, @YiTayML and the IMO team on the result. This was a great collaboration across teams to build a general Gemini DeepThink model that can also get gold at IMO.

    Gemini 2.5 Pro just got an upgrade & is now even better at coding, with significant gains in front-end web dev, editing, and transformation. We also fixed a bunch of function calling issues that folks have been reporting, it should now be much more reliable. More details in 🧵

    Gemini 2.0 Flash is here! 🎊 We're quite excited about this model. It's better than Gemini 1.5 Pro on most benchmarks, but comparable in speed and latency to Gemini 1.5 Flash. It has multilingual native audio output, native image output, native tool use, and a new multimodal

    Introducing our latest 2.5 Flash which is much better than the previous preview version. It’s much better on hard prompts, coding, math, WebDev and Vision. It’s our best flash model yet and leverages the strengths of the 2.5 pro. On many categories, it’s 2nd only to our 2.5 pro.
