Gemini 2.5 Pro continues to be loved by developers as the best model for coding, and 2.5 Flash is getting even better with a new update. We’re bringing new capabilities to our models, including Deep Think, an experimental enhanced reasoning mode for 2.5 Pro.
Amazon SageMaker Projects empower data scientists to self-serve Amazon Web Services (AWS) tooling and infrastructure to organize all entities of the machine learning (ML) lifecycle, and further enable organizations to standardize and constrain the resources available to their data science teams in pre-packaged templates. For AWS customers using Terraform to define and manage their infrastructure-as-code (IaC), …

Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for May 2025. Today, Enrique Alvarez, public sector advisor, Office of the CISO, explores how government agencies can use AI to improve threat detection — and save money at the same time. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted to the Google …
We’re extending Gemini to become a world model that can make plans and imagine new experiences by simulating aspects of the world.
With the increasing integration of speech front-ends and large language models (LLM), there is a need to explore architectures that integrate these modalities. While end-to-end models have been explored extensively, cascaded models that stream outputs from LLMs to TTS seem to be oddly under-explored, even though they are potentially much simpler. Using traditional text-to-speech systems …

Emerging transformer-based vision models for geospatial data—also called geospatial foundation models (GeoFMs)—offer a new and powerful technology for mapping the earth’s surface at a continental scale, providing stakeholders with the tooling to detect and monitor surface-level ecosystem conditions such as forest degradation, natural disaster impact, crop yield, and many others. GeoFMs represent an emerging research …

Want to turn your generative AI ideas into real web applications with one click? Any developer knows it’s a complex process to build shareable, interactive applications: you have to set up infrastructure, wire APIs, and build a front-end. It’s usually a complex process. What if you could skip the heavy lifting and turn your generative …

There’s a strange loop taking over social media right now. Scroll through TikTok, YouTube Live, or Instagram, and you’ll see a parade of “digital marketing experts” promoting their latest PDF guide, online course, or coaching program. What’s it about? Digital marketing. But not the kind that helps actual businesses improve performance, it’s a course on …

Long chain-of-thought (CoT) significantly enhances large language models’ (LLM) reasoning capabilities. However, the extensive reasoning traces lead to inefficiencies and an increased time-to-first-token (TTFT). We propose a novel training paradigm that uses reinforcement learning (RL) to guide reasoning LLMs to interleave thinking and answering for multi-hop questions. We observe that models inherently possess the ability …

In the financial services industry, analysts need to switch between structured data (such as time-series pricing information), unstructured text (such as SEC filings and analyst reports), and audio/visual content (earnings calls and presentations). Each format requires different analytical approaches and specialized tools, creating workflow inefficiencies. Add on top of this the intense time pressure resulting …
