Project Suncatcher has liftoff! ☀️🚀 Announced last year, this moonshot project explores if we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space. After years of research, we’ve just launched a prototype satellite, built in partnership with @planet, into orbit on @SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. This initial mission will gather data on how @Google TPUs handle the physical stress and extremes of spaceflight. Ultimately, these findings will help us explore how to potentially link multiple satellite constellations for scaled machine learning. By operating in low Earth orbit, these systems can tap into near-constant sunlight to generate up to 8x more solar power than on Earth.

I remember the first meeting where the team pitched the idea of putting compute in space - exciting idea! Today's successful launch with our partner @planet prototype satellite shows how far we've come...and how far there is to go. Thanks for the lift, @SpaceX, another spectacular booster landing too🚀

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon! It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback. Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

Live Voice Chat is now 100% rolled out to all Pro users on mobile! Have you tried it out yet? Let us know what you think! ☺️

I held a tight constraint of 100mb total size. I wonder how much detail I could add if I expanded that.

I was inspired by @RyanSael and the excellent camera lens explainer he built last week to make something of my own:

Not only can you edit Markdown in Drive, but you can also import the file to Gemini Notebook where it’ll refresh each time you open the Notebook. Lots you can do with that!

Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out. Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet One small step for TPUs....

Today we finished the rollout of a significant update to the voice models we're using in Notebook. Careful listeners will notice a few differences, including improvements that will unlock some of your most requested features!

Introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS 📣 for expressive, nuanced voice acting, and 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS ⚡️ for high-volume, cost-efficient scale! Our most expressive, multilingual (100+ languages) speech generation models bring powerful new features for developers and creators alike: • Voice Design: Craft custom voices across languages, dialects, and accents using simple text prompts • 2,000+ Prebuilt Voices: A vast, high-fidelity library covering diverse styles and personas • Voice Replication: Fast, authentic replication with built-in consent verification • Multi-Speaker Dialogue: Seamless, natural pacing between distinct voices Try it now in @GoogleAIStudio 👉 ai.dev/generate-speech

Today we're rolling out a fresh UI design for Gemini Notebook. It should feel fresh and familiar!

With all of the Googlebook news today, it reminds me of the story about how we made the Pixelbook keyboard so good. It’s too long for a tweet thread, but a good story.
