To understand the probabilistic reasoning capabilities of three state-of-the-art LLMs (Gemini, GPT family models), we define three distinct tasks: estimating percentiles, drawing samples, and calculating probabilities. These tasks reflect key aspects of interpreting probability distributions, such as understanding where a sample falls within a distribution (percentiles), generating representative data (sampling), and assessing the likelihood of […]

High dynamic range (HDR) photography techniques can accurately capture a scene’s full range of brightness values — from those of its darkest shadows to its brightest light sources. However, when the time comes to view the resulting HDR photos, many displays are only capable of showing a limited range of brightness levels. This discrepancy means

Noise disrupts quantum correlations, effectively shrinking the available quantum circuit volume. We seek to understand if it’s possible to harness the full quantum circuit volume of a processor despite the effect of noise. In other words, we explore if it would be possible to realize an equivalent computation on a quantum processor of a smaller

This morning, Co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs Sir Demis Hassabis, and Google DeepMind Director Dr. John Jumper were co-awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work developing AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI system that predicts the 3D structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences. David Baker was also co-awarded

The implementation of XR-Objects involves four steps: (1) detecting objects, (2) localizing and anchoring onto objects, (3) coupling each object with an MLLM for metadata retrieval, and (4) executing actions and displaying the output in response to user input. We use Unity and its AR Foundation to bring these together to build a system that

Get Your “My First Robot” Kit In today’s world, artificial intelligence and robotics are no longer just the stuff of science fiction. These technologies are shaping industries, education, and even how children learn and engage with technology. The “My First Robots” kit from Robot School serves as a perfect example of how AI and robotics

Cardiotocography (CTG) is a doppler ultrasound–based technique used during pregnancy and labor to monitor fetal well-being by recording fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contractions (UC). CTG can be done continuously or intermittently, with leads placed either externally or internally. External CTG involves the use of two sensors placed on the birthing parent’s belly: an

Science Published 26 September 2024 Authors Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini Our AI method has accelerated and optimized chip design, and its superhuman chip layouts are used in hardware around the world In 2020, we released a preprint introducing our novel reinforcement learning method for designing chip layouts, which we later published in Nature and

Today, we’re releasing two updated production-ready Gemini models: Gemini-1.5-Pro-002 and Gemini-1.5-Flash-002 along with: >50% reduced price on 1.5 Pro (both input and output for prompts <128K) 2x higher rate limits on 1.5 Flash and ~3x higher on 1.5 Pro 2x faster output and 3x lower latency Updated default filter settings These new models build on
