Memory loss doesn’t start in your brain. 2 days ago, Stanford published a study in Nature identifying the exact 3-step pathway: Step 1: Aging shifts your gut bacteria (P. goldsteinii overgrows) Step 2: These bacteria produce fatty acids that trigger IL-1β inflammation in the gut Step 3: Inflammation silences your vagus nerve → hippocampus stops forming memories They transferred old gut bacteria into young mice. The young mice became forgetful. They stimulated the vagus nerve in old mice. Cognitive performance matched young animals. The lead researcher called the gut “a remote control for the brain.” (DOI: 10.1038/s41586-026-10191-6): This flips everything we assumed about aging brains. You’re not losing your edge because of age. You’re losing it because your gut is inflamed and your brain can’t hear its own body anymore. Fix the gut. Get sharp again. Brain fog. Belly fat. Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix. These aren’t 3 problems. They’re 1 broken pathway. Take my free 2-minute gut assessment quiz to find out where yours is broken. Comment LEAK.

Meet Turkish-Gemma-9b-T1: a powerful, specialized LLM fine-tuned for Turkish language tasks. It's not just another translation model. It's a full conversational AI that understands, reasons, and generates fluent Turkish text. This is a big deal for Turkish NLP.

I am excited to announce that I will be a mentor for Expedition Tiny Aya! Together, we will come up with and work on an impactful research project, building off of the Tiny Aya models. I literally cannot wait until next week for the kickoff 🤩🤩 If you are interested in multilingual NLP research, go and sign up 🤏🏻🔥🫵

We’re officially kicking off Expedition Tiny Aya, a global, mentor-supported open build challenge built on the Tiny Aya model — and we’d love to see you there.

I'm happy to announce that we are open sourcing the MRCR v2 datasets we report on Gemini releases! github.com/google-deepmin…

Happy to share Michelangelo (arxiv.org/abs/2409.12640), a long-context reasoning benchmark which measures performance beyond needle tasks up to arbitrary context lengths and remains challenging for frontier models. Stay tuned for more Michelangelo evals to come!

Tiny Aya shows what smaller models can do. It improves on previous Aya releases and outperforms models at similar size proving that smart multilingual design can rival larger models. This shows that focused multilingual research beats brute-force scaling—achieving more with less.

Calling it compute rich/poor and not Jensen’s Inequality is a missed opportunity
