From keynote to the terminal: Join our Next ‘26 developer livestreams

The main stage at Google Cloud Next is where the vision is set. This year, we’re bridging the gap between those massive “Cloud-scale” announcements and your local terminal. We are thrilled to announce the Next ‘26 developer livestreams, a daily broadcast live from the show floor at Google Cloud Next. We aren’t just reporting the …

AI swarms could hijack democracy without anyone noticing

AI-powered personas are becoming so realistic that they can infiltrate online communities and subtly steer public opinion. Unlike traditional bots, they adapt, coordinate, and refine their messaging at a massive scale, creating a false sense of consensus. Early warning signs—like deepfakes and fake news networks—have already appeared in global elections. Researchers warn that the next …

Gradient-based Planning for World Models at Longer Horizons

GRASP is a new gradient-based planner for learned dynamics (a “world model”) that makes long-horizon planning practical by (1) lifting the trajectory into virtual states so optimization is parallel across time, (2) adding stochasticity directly to the state iterates for exploration, and (3) reshaping gradients so actions get clean signals while we avoid brittle “state-input” …

What Do Your Logits Know? (The Answer May Surprise You!)

Recent work has shown that probing model internals can reveal a wealth of information not apparent from the model generations. This poses the risk of unintentional or malicious information leakage, where model users are able to learn information that the model owner assumed was inaccessible. Using vision-language models as a testbed, we present the first …
