The @beardfoundation has been capturing the evolution of American cuisine for over four decades, and launched many of today’s top chefs. Now, a new partnership with @googlearts is bringing more than 10,000 of those menus to life with Bite by Bite, an interactive digital archive. Explore how ingredients, dining trends, and culinary palates have shifted — from the explosion of kale in the 2000s to evolving farming practices. 🍽️

Google Vids now runs on Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, our latest video generation model from @GoogleDeepMind. Starting today, anyone with a Google account or @GoogleWorkspace subscription can generate up to three 15 second videos per month in Vids at no cost.

We want to clarify what we announced today about our education services. Today’s announcements give schools more choice, not less. Here’s what we announced: - Gemini, Gemini Notebook, and Search will be OFF 🔴 by default. This is based on K-12 schools asking for more control over student use of AI services. - Schools are in control: They can choose to turn ON 🟢 one, two, or all of these services individually. - We are also updating Search for schools to make it better for learning. Specifically, AI Mode and AI Overviews will offer step-by-step guided learning through problems, so that students don’t get quick answers to schoolwork. We know there’s concern about students using AI to shortcut schoolwork, and schools have told us they want control. That’s exactly why we are making these changes today to address the feedback we’ve heard from educators in recent months. And we’ll continue to engage deeply with educators to ensure we are giving schools more choice, more controls, and improved Search for learning.

Gemini 4 Argon is already helping researchers unlock new scientific breakthroughs across fusion, biology, and quantum computing: ⚛️ In nuclear fusion, Argon helped discover a broader class of counterexamples to Grad's conjecture — a nearly 60-year-old assumption in plasma physics — creating new benchmarks for stellarator 3D magnetic fields. 🧬 In biology, it designed five novel, lab-verified serine esterases in a matter of hours — enzyme engineering that would previously have taken months. This work demonstrates the potential for rapid acceleration in fields such as biomanufacturing, green chemistry, and drug development. 🩺 In rare disease research, scientists at @GamowLabs used Argon to analyze de-identified genomes from newborns with rare developmental lung disorders — pinpointing a chromosomal rearrangement that routine software missed for years, and explaining why it went undetected. 🧮 In quantum computing, Argon translated our AlphaQubit error-correction decoder into a single optimized hardware kernel — nearly doubling inference throughput — and cut spacetime costs for a key quantum subroutine by more than 100x.
