It's incredible to see how strongly Google coalesces around @antigravity! @_mohansolo is the 3rd person on the main keynote after Sundar and Demis! Antigravity 2.0 is expanding the agentic power, announcing a new SDK and CLI tools and Native voice support! [image]

Very interesting choice by Google to make an animated cartoon around its TPU processing units. It's fascinating because it's the type of ad I could easily see running on TV, though it's a weird choice since it's not a consumer-friendly topic, unless Google wants it to be. Not [im…

Introducing Gemini Omni 🔮........ Omni is our new model that can create anything from any input — starting with video (think Nano Banana but for video). Available in the Gemini App, Flow, and YouTube, with API support coming soon! [video]

Gemini Omni: any output form any input, starting with video. Create and edit videos with natural language. The quality is incredible! We are adding Content Credentials Verification to SynthID to help identify AI in media. Works with with Circle to Search! [image]

Google Omni will focus on stronger genAI for YouTube, and I imagine a focus on YouTube Shorts, which is the fastest growing segment of YouTube's engagement. And I imagine it's not what people want from Shorts! They want humans doing dumb things or sharing tips. May work better

Google just showed a demo, Gemini Flash model running between 600-1400 tokens per second on TPU 8i It peaked out around 1480 tok/s, with average around 800 tok/s

15 Google products have over a billion users, five have more than three billion. Gemini app has over 900m monthly users [image]

Ask YouTube (similar to Ask Maps) rolling out this summer. Basically AI Overview but for videos (long form and Shorts). Will effectively curate How To videos. But I'm curious how this will impact the way creators think about their SEO strategy on the tagging side.
@loudmouthjulia Julia Alexander on x
Sundar Pichai at I/O says that YouTube is one of five Google products with more than three billion users, or about 37% of the global population.

At last year's #GoogleIO, we were processing 480 trillion tokens a month across our surfaces. Now, we're processing over 3.2 *quadrillion* tokens a month. That's a 7x increase in just a year. These tokens represent problems being solved — by a user or a developer or a [image]

I think the focus of Google IO will be 96% AI, which gives us “the potential to make anything we can dream of” #GoogleIO [image]

Top companies in Google Cloud are doing 1T tokens a day, if they move 80% of their workloads to Flash they can save ~$1B annually according to @sundarpichai
@alliekmiller Allie K. Miller on x
Holy crap. And I don't say that lightly. Google is now processing 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month, up 7x from last year. That's a 3 with 15 zeroes after it. Actually, it's 3 and a 2 and 14 zeroes. #Google [image]

these guys will share literally any number other than “how much revenue we made on AI”

Docs Live is probably my favorite new feature coming because this is more or less how I write things now [video]
