Healthcare is increasingly embracing AI to improve workflow management, patient communication, and diagnostic and treatment support. It’s critical that these AI-based systems are not only high-performing, but also efficient and privacy-preserving. It’s with these considerations in mind that we built and recently released Health AI Developer Foundations (HAI-DEF). HAI-DEF is a collection of lightweight open…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of large language models (LLMs), the spotlight has largely focused on the decoder-only architecture. While these models have shown impressive capabilities across a wide range of generation tasks, the classic encoder-decoder architecture, such as T5 (The Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer), remains a popular choice for many real-world applications. Encoder-decoder models often…
Mathematics is the foundational language of the universe, providing the tools to describe everything from the laws of physics to the intricacies of biology and the logic of computer science. For centuries, its frontiers have been expanded by human ingenuity alone. At Google DeepMind, we believe AI can serve as a powerful tool to collaborate…

Embracing the opportunity ahead, responsibly We believe the promise of AI in education can only be achieved by developing it responsibly. One essential facet of this is doing so in close partnership with the entire education ecosystem. When my team and I met with Damian Harvey, Interim Head of C2k, he emphasized this point. He…
New research shows that reorganizing a model’s visual representations can make it more helpful, robust and reliable “Visual” artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. We use it to sort our photos, identify unknown flowers and steer our cars. But these powerful systems do not always “see” the world as we do, and they sometimes behave in…
Jorge L. Alonso, a federal district court judge for the Northern District of Illinois, said that the Trump Administration violated the First Amendment when it pressured Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking groups and apps. Judge Alonso granted the plaintiffs, Kassandra Rosado, who runs the ICE Sightings – Chicagoland Facebook group, and Kreisau Group, the…

From fancy OLED TVs to robot vacuums with arms, we tend to cover a lot of cool stuff here at The Verge that, unfortunately, often costs as much as a month’s rent (or more). But with the ongoing tariff situation in the US and a global memory shortage pushing up the cost of, well, everything,…
Weather predictions need to capture the full range of possibilities — including worst case scenarios, which are the most important to plan for. WeatherNext 2 can predict hundreds of possible weather outcomes from a single starting point. Each prediction takes less than a minute on a single TPU; it would take hours on a supercomputer…
