📈 My thoughts on Google Q4 earnings:
Serving costs down 78%, efficiency up 4.5x. The math behind the AI race.
Compute efficiency is one of the most important metrics in the AI race. Spending smarter, not just more. Huge thanks to the Googlers making this happen! 🚀

We are still learning and optimising the information flow from our suppliers to our data center team to our users.

AI doesn't need to be zero sum. "Demand response" is one such example. ⚡
By partnering with our electric suppliers, we are able to unlock more capacity AND respond to local demand spikes. It's a win-win!
🥳 Introducing Google Gemini 2.5 Deep Think trained on Google TPUs.
Our team pushed SoTA inference compute harder than ever before. It's a variation of the model that won gold in International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) but optimised for day-to-day use.
Now available to Gemini Ultra subscribers.
🙌 Calling all early-stage founders:
DeepMind and Google Cloud are organizing a startup founders forum in November! It's going to be two full days of technical presentations, feedback sessions, prototyping, demos, and insights into product roadmaps.

As AI gets more advanced, interpretability will become an increasingly important part of safety. So congratulations to the team on advancing the SoTA and keeping the results interpretable. Well done!🥳 end/
🥇 I am so happy to see the Google DeepMind Gemini team **OFFICIALLY** achieved gold-medal performance.
Not only did we get 5 out of 6 questions correct. What's more amazing is the official IMO graders find those answers to be clear, precise and easy to follow! 1/

Personal view: The UK is too small a country to compete with the US and China on its own. 100k AI chips by 2030 is uncompetitive. We need to work with our EU friends if we really want to be "AI makers and not AI takers". #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

That's a wrap for day #4 @aamasconf.bsky.social . I did not present anything today but I am honored that we received the best paper award!
Thanks to everyone who made it happen! 👇 1/2
Terrorism is stupid but this one is extra. The event the couple attended was an inter-faith effort to send humanitarian aid to innocent Palestinians. Now Netanyahu will use this as a cover to hit Gaza harder.😢

I failed to post this last week, but it’s one of the best op-eds you’ll read all year. Two politicians with *wildly* different orientations but a common thread of belief in the nature of citizenship and nationality. (They’re also 100% right obvs.)

I am saddened by protesters against Israel's entry for #Eurovision.
Israel is not Russia. Israel didn't start the war. More importantly, most Israelis (68%) wants a hostage deal that will end the war.
If we want peace, protest against Netanyahu, not Israel.

Quick recap on this week's elections:
🇨🇦 Right wing populist defeated.
🇦🇺 Right wing populist defeated.
🇬🇧 Right wing populist screwed up our economy with Brexit, why don't we give them another go?🤔
Breaking: US economy...
Getting ready for MAGA to reheat all the Brexit arguments that:
a) it's short term pain for long term gain,
b) long term = next month -> next year -> next election -> your children -> your grandchildren -> [repeat] -> heat death of the universe.

🇨🇦 Congratulations, Canada! I don't know if you could have delivered a stronger rejection to Trump than this. Wow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...
#CanadaStrong
Or you can get him as your president... or king but not the hands off kind... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...
🇨🇦 Canadian friends. No matter what Pierre Poilievre said, Trump will interpret every vote for the Conservatives as a vote for Canada to become the 51st state.
If you value your independence, voting Liberal is the only way.
Good luck,
Your friends in Europe
#CanadaStrong
🍻Congratulations Liverpool on the historic win.
BTW that's a Google Pixel 9 Pro!😁
Prior to Trump and what he did to Ukraine, I was planning a family holiday in the US. Now I am not...
This is Brexit but worse. I didn't think it was possible but Trump did it.
If China asks for all tariffs including for other countries to be dropped, they will be the new world leader.

Looking forward to catch up with friends and meet new people. Ping me if you want to chat about watermarking, model merging, Google DeepMind or AI science in general.
I’d be very happy to meet! 🤓

I am not sure the checks and balances work any more, e.g. signalgate and ignoring court orders for deportation. This is the time of King Trump.
They put this in a stock filing but not on the ballot paper? Why America? Why?
