Today on the blog we introduce an investigational ML framework that translates passive wearable signals into a modifiable coachable health age, uses an action-conditioned world model to simulate personalized 12-week "what-if" habit trajectories, & expands to routine blood biomarkers to track early cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health.

We’re excited to officially expand our global research footprint with the launch of our new Google Research hub in Singapore.
As @ymatias, VP, Google & GM of Google Research, shares below, this new hub focuses on three core areas: advancing foundational AI efficiency alongside our global teams (a critical priority for generative AI), cultivating local scientific talent through close partnerships with the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and scaling existing Google Research health initiatives by bringing open models like MedGemma to frontline care.

I spent a few days in Singapore energized by the incredible teams and the ecosystem.
Excited to share that we’re expanding our footprint with the launch of our new @GoogleResearch hub in Singapore.
Starting with a team that will work on advancing frontier AI efficiency alongside our global teams.
We are also partnering with local universities like @NUSingapore and @NTUsg to nurture the next generation of scientific leaders.

Most of what shapes human health happens outside the doctor's office: in daily sleep, diet, and continuous physiological signals.
What happens when AI helps connect those dots into a multi-year "health weather forecast"?
A breakdown of the latest @GoogleResearch podcast👇
Key milestones discussed:
• Open-source impact: How MedGemma powers local community health workers across the globe
• Imaging workflows: Why reducing mammography read times from days to minutes can potentially help save lives
• Frontier research: Inside AMIE, Google's multimodal diagnostic AI

A central takeaway: AI isn't replacing physicians: it's helping automate administrative burden so doctors can focus on what matters most: holistic reasoning, critical judgment, and patient empathy.

Today on the blog, we present a new system, published in Nature, that leverages standard consumer smartwatch sensors to passively detect signs of high blood pressure — validated against the clinical gold standard of 24-hour ambulatory bp monitoring. More →goo.gle/4zw2ISD

ALT The AI system uses photoplethysmography (PPG) and accelerometer (ACC) signals recorded using a consumer smartwatch to create waveform embeddings. The waveform embeddings are aggregated over time (days) into a person-level embedding, which, along with a user’s height, are used to predict their blood pressure status.

In the AI era, the most critical skill isn’t just knowing how to code — it’s knowing which questions to ask.
@sineadbovell sat down with @ymatias (VP, Google & GM of @GoogleResearch) to discuss the rise of ambient intelligence, cross-disciplinary builders, and how researchers are evolving into "organizations of one."

The most powerful technology is the kind you stop noticing.
Futurist @SineadBovell sat down with VP, Google & GM, Google Research @ymatias to unpack why the future of AI is ambient intelligence:
→ What felt like science fiction yesterday becomes today's invisible baseline
→ AI fades into the background as reliability reaches critical mass
→ Human ambition moves upstream to solve larger, more complex challenges

What does hiring look like when everyone has access to an AI "virtual lab"?
Futurist @SineadBovell sat down with VP, Google & GM, Google Research @ymatias to break down why the next generation of builders must think like an "organization of one":
→ Asking the right questions
→ Connecting dots across disciplines
→ Applying ethical judgment
→ Adapting as intelligence becomes ambient

Read below on how our teams compressed months of low-level RDMA networking and custom TPU kernel development into hours ⬇️
Today, we shared how Google’s Graph Mining and Graph Learning teams used Gemini 4 Argon with Teamwork agent in @GoogleAntigravity to solve a different class of internal engineering bottleneck: compressing months of low-level RDMA networking and custom TPU kernel development into hours. Specifically, improvements include accelerated graph algorithms with FarArray (up to 180x faster, 22x less RAM) and custom TPU kernels for Graph Neural Networks that run 8–15x faster than native JAX with massive HBM savings.
For me, this update is a full-circle experience: Graph Mining contributed deeply to Gemini Data via deduping and data curation over time, and now Gemini is giving back by scaling and improving Graph Mining library!
This is also a close collaboration amongst our Graph Mining and Teamwork teams, together with the Antigravity and Gemini teams. Congratulations!

Today on the blog, learn about our new instance of a “sleep” phase in continual learning, which enables LLMs to continuously integrate new facts and enhance reasoning while mitigating catastrophic forgetting or static knowledge cutoffs.
More →goo.gle/4iICkyD

ALT Overview of our sleep framework: Input streams from the active phase are stored in short-term memory before entering the sleep cycle, which bifurcates into Consolidation (transferring fragile short-term tokens into expanded long-term parametric memory using low-rank structures and MoE) and Dreaming (autonomous self-improvement via synthetic routing with random experts and RL refinement).
Verena Rieser is heading to the @emnlpmeeting Industry Panel today at 11:00am to continue the discussion on agent reliability, trust, and deployment. Join us afterward at the #EMNLP2026 Google booth (#D5) to connect with our team. @GoogleDeepMind
How can positive alignment anchor autonomous AI agents to core values rather than brittle rubrics? Join @GoogleDeepMind researcher Verena Rieser today at 9:00am for the @emnlpmeeting Industry Keynote, and visit the #EMNLP2026 Google booth (D5) afterward to connect with our team.
