@Kimi_Moonshot Can you share how it goes against Gemini 2.5 pro?

🚀 Hello, Kimi K2! Open-Source Agentic Model! 🔹 1T total / 32B active MoE model 🔹 SOTA on SWE Bench Verified, Tau2 & AceBench among open models 🔹Strong in coding and agentic tasks 🐤 Multimodal & thought-mode not supported for now With Kimi K2, advanced agentic intelligence is more open and accessible than ever. We can't wait to see what you build! 🔌 API is here: platform.moonshot.ai - $0.15 / million input tokens (cache hit) - $0.60 / million input tokens (cache miss) - $2.50 / million output tokens 🔗 Tech blog: moonshotai.github.io/Kimi-K2/ 🔗 Weights & code: huggingface.co/moonshotai 🔗 Github: github.com/MoonshotAI/Kim… Try it now at Kimi.ai or via API!

The releases on VertexAI just kep coming. If you want to try extracting text from images or documents, Mistral OCR is now on Vertex. #Google #AI #Aviato

Being perfectly honest I always found a lot of pushback on Looker, most companies had Tableu or PowerBI and never really a compelling reason to move. Looker now with conversational analytics is worth reconsidering that position. #GoogleCloud #Aviato #Looker #Data

We are now doing SRE. Managed Services model is a break-fix model and a race to the lowest cost, ending up with a sub par service. SRE is a proactive service that continuously improves your services so you should never have to call us. #SRE #Aviato #GoogleCloud

Curious about the DeepSeek model but hesitant to send data to a company that might not have the best security or data privacy. As this is an open source model Google are running it on Vertex so you can experiment with it via an API. #AI #Aviato #GoogleCloud

Google have a "Live API" that is in preview for Gemini 2.5 Flash. The Live API enables low-latency, two-way voice and video interactions Yep, that is right this API lets you chat with Gemini using your voice. Can't wait to see this in apps. cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/gene…

This is great news, both Anthropic models are also now GA. Vertex AI is great for the flexibility in testing out a new model from Antrhopic and comparing it to Gemini, or an open source model such as Llama. #Vertex #AI #GoogleCloud #Aviato

This one is for the nerds. Gemini CLI is realeased, if you use a CLI and want to use Gemini this is pretty cool. Check it out. github.com/google-gemini/… #aviato #Gemini #GoogleCloud

The number of tools in Code Assist is growing. This means code assist can connect to a ton of new dev tools to help you automate your workflows. #aviato #googleCloud (Yes I know there is a typo in the image)

PSA: If you havve any of these models hard coded, you have 3 weeks to update. The GA Models are called: gemini-2.5-flash gemini-2.5-pro #Google #AI #Gemini #Aviato

Stole this slide from Google, a great title to explain what Agentspace is. To give an elevator pitch its agentic AI applied to your companies knowledge. One of the best parts of Agentspace is it does a better job of searching Sharepoint than Microsoft 🤣 #AI #Google #Aviato

Cloud Run GPUs are now Generally Available! GPU on Cloud Run is fully managed, no drivers or libraries needed requires no operations and scales fast (including to 0). #AI #GPU #CloudRun #Aviato #GoogleCloud

Andy Hood figured out how to register custom built agents based on ADK to Google Agentspace and wrote a nice article on it (that I stole and published on Medium). l8r.it/mwS2 #AI #GoogleCloud #Aviato #Agentspace

Contribution analysis, allows you to generate insights about changes to key metrics in your data. So getting answers to common business questions is super simple with BigQuery ML models like this. A great way to get started in AI (really ML). #Aviato #ML #GoogleCloud

So it looks like Google is making bank on selling AI. The first 1bn+ profit company. Not really related to my typically tech posts, but super interesting.

I have seen people trying to use MCP to connect Agents to Agents. MCP is for agents to use tools. A2A is for agents to talk to agents. #AI #MCP #A2A

This table hopefully makes the model choice of Gemini 2.5 models a bit less overwhelming. TL;DR of this is, Flash-Lite is the cheapest and fastest, use it unless you need something better, then work from left to right till you get 2.5 Pro. #AI #GoogleCloud #Aviato

This one is pretty cool, simple data transformations right within Pub/Sub itself avoiding the need for Dataflow, or other tools simplifying some data pipelines. #data #GoogleCloud

These #Google #Gemini models have just move from Preview to GA. 🥳 Check out the official Blog: cloud.google.com/blog/products/… Or Sign up to our newsletter: page.aviato.consulting/en-au/aviato-t… #aviato #GCP #AI

This is another very cool option for real time data processing on #GoogleCloud. Continuous queries let you analyze incoming data in BigQuery in real time. You can insert the output rows produced by a continuous query into a BigQuery table or export them. #AI #Cloud #Data
