Google is expanding its Play Age Signals API, giving Android developers a privacy-preserving way to tailor experiences based on users’ age ranges.

A Google DeepMind paper titled “LLMs can’t jump,” published by Tom Zahavy, discusses an obvious truth that AI software lacks a physical body, which, as a limitation, introduces a cognitive barrier. The paper also states that Large Language Models cannot replace human beings and their creative genius, with software-based intelligence only mastering one distinct type of inference. The paper dives deep into LLMs’ limitations, saying that out of three unique inference types, AI has only succeeded in one area The research states that the three types of inference are induction, deduction, and abduction. Thanks to statistical pattern recognition and massive […]

Google’s AI Overviews now appear in 43% of searches, underscoring how quickly AI-generated answers are becoming the default way people discover information online.

With the AI race in full swing, big tech is constantly on the lookout to make custom chips that are able to compete with or offer alternatives to NVIDIA's pricey and short-in-supply GPUs. Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and Amazon's Trainium chips are among several that rely on less power consumption and costs to augment NVIDIA's products in AI computing. Now, a report from Morgan Stanley claims that Google's new TPU chips will be tailored to its Gemini models and eliminate the need for TSMC's chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) chip packaging technology. Google Is Considering To Place New TPU Chip's RAM Directly […]

The tech giant says selfie videos give users more options to sign in if they're ever locked out or don't have access to their usual phone or computer.

Gemini had over 750 million monthly users in February.

Google's cloud business is thriving, as companies adopting its AI and AI infrastructure services help the tech giant to report record profits.

The new feature lets users wirelessly transfer more data types from an iPhone without needing to download a separate app.

Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Flash Cyber, but the continued absence of Gemini 3.5 Pro raises fresh questions about its AI strategy.

Google could not have picked a worse time to deliver a chronically underpowered Gemini 3.6 Flash, coming right on the heels of stunning open-source AI models from China, such as Moonshot's Kimi K3, which employs novel architectural feats to deliver notable cost savings, all the while offering frontier-level performance. Google's Gemini 3.6 Flash performs worse than Meta Spark 1.1, GLM-5.2, GPT-5.6 Luna, Sonnet 5, Grok 4.5, and GPT-5.6 Terra Google has just released the all-new Gemini 3.6 Flash, sporting a context window of 1 million tokens, which is equivalent to 1,500 A4 pages of text, 30,000 lines of code, or […]

Alphabet, Google's parent company, is reportedly working on a new chip designed to make its Gemini models run much more efficiently.

In letters sent to Apple and Google, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said that both companies have long been aware that they are hosting apps in violation of state law.

Google is adding personalized AI avatars to Vids that let users create videos starring a digital version of themselves, alongside Gemini Omni-powered tools for generating and editing videos from prompts and reference images.

With this new update, Google is expanding AI Mode beyond answering questions and into completing tasks across the apps they use regularly.

Google said users can soon access their notebooks through AI Mode in Search.

Google's biggest solar and battery project stands in sharp contrast with xAI's nearby unpermitted power plant.

Korean chip giant Samsung is reportedly considering outsourcing orders to design a portion of Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) AI chips. Samsung is believed to be Google's manufacturing partner for the TPU chip's input/output (I/O) die. While the TPU's compute tile is expected to be manufactured by TSMC, the part on which the tile will be connected, called the I/O, is said to be Samsung's responsibility. For the I/O, Samsung is considering outsourcing the back-end design for the chip in order to ensure that Google's design is fit for its manufacturing facilities, says the Korean press. Several Korean Firms in […]
