For centuries, the scientific method has been our best tool for progress. But today, there’s so much data out there that it’s impossible for any one researcher to connect all the dots. We want to fix that: Introducing Gemini for Science, a collection of science tools and experiments designed to accelerate the speed and scale of scientific exploration. Read on to learn more about each announcement in this inaugural set 🧵👇

Our new data center in Montgomery County marks an exciting new chapter for us in Missouri. We’re deeply committed to expanding our infrastructure responsibly, keeping energy affordable for the community, and unlocking new local jobs.

We are proud to partner with companies like Google that are helping drive economic growth while making a meaningful difference in the communities they call home. governor.mo.gov/press-releases…

When we work together, we unlock what’s possible for local communities. (3/3)

We’re also celebrating a major milestone: Through the Government AI Campus—supported by a $5M grant from @Googleorg—Apolitical has trained over 500k public servants in AI skills. This marks the halfway point toward our goal of training 1M public servants by the end of 2026. (2/3)

Transforming public service for the AI era requires partnership and a shared vision. At #GoogleIO, we brought together Mableton, GA Mayor Michael Owens, Public First’s Rachel Wolf, and @Apoliticalco’s Joel Patrick to discuss the future of government innovation. (1/3)

When built and deployed responsibly and in lockstep with educators, AI doesn't replace the human connection—it strengthens it. (3/3)

From equipping teachers with foundational AI skills to launching global educational initiatives that bridge AI literacy gaps, we are committed to ensuring technology acts as an equalizer. (2/3)

Today at #GoogleIO, James Manyika, Lila Ibrahim, and Chris Phillips came together to discuss the responsible integration of AI in the classroom and its potential to improve learning outcomes. (1/3)

Today, our research on Co-Scientist was published in Nature. It introduces a new multi-agent AI system built with Gemini that iteratively generates, debates, and evolves novel hypotheses for complex scientific problems. Hypothesis Generation introduced today at #GoogleIO📷 as part of the Gemini for Science experimental tools is built with Co-Scientist.⬇️👇

I'm in Policy Park inside the Shoreline Amphitheatre talking with folks about how governments are putting AI tools and now agents to work in areas like security, energy, education, and more. Thanks to our Policy team and everyone who worked so hard to make #GoogleIO a success.

Industry-wide collaboration on content transparency tech is key to a trusted web. 🤝 We’re accelerating the momentum started with @NVIDIA and partnering with @OpenAI, Kakao, and @ElevenLabs to bring SynthID to their generative content — helping give everyone more helpful context about the media we see online. #GoogleIO

We want to help scientists discover their next breakthrough with AI. Gemini for Science is our new suite of experimental tools to help them explore more hypotheses, validate work at scale, unpack literature with ease, and more 🧵

Just off stage at #GoogleIO, some highlights from this morning 🧵 Gemini 3.5 Flash is available today for everyone in @antigravity and across our products and APIs. Compared to 3.1 Pro, 3.5 Flash is better across almost all benchmarks with huge progress in coding. It’s also comparable to the best models but very fast (4x faster tokens/ second than other frontier models). And when looking at the intelligence versus output speed, it’s in a league of its own in the top right quadrant.

On our way to I/O 2026. See you at 10am PT tomorrow!

San Francisco roaster Hrag Kalebjian blends tradition with technology, using Google AI to help keep track of daily sales reports and ensure his family business, @House_Of_Coffee, thrives.

£2.2 billion. That’s how much the creator economy now contributes to the UK GDP. Yet, YouTube’s Creator Consultation (where we surveyed over 10K creators) showed only 17% of creators have access to adequate training. That’s why, we’re launching a partnership with @BBC and the National Film and Television School to deliver a new skills and training program for TV producers, digital creators and journalists across the UK.
