The Gemini Large Scale Pretrain team is hiring a Research Engineer in London or MTV! The team works across the pretrain stack: research codebases, distributed training infra, data pipelines, tooling for training dynamics analysis, and most importantly using Gemini to accelerate our work! 🚀 If you're an engineer who has a strong "whatever it takes" attitude and is not afraid of spending tokens, apply here with some showcase work: google.com/about/careers/app… No particular qualifications needed, and we welcome early career applicants. Join if you want me to bug you with refactors to enable [new AGI compute multiplier]! 👀

A new species of cat has been discovered for the first time since 1923: the Tilcayo Tiger Cat. A man in Bolivia mistook it for a weird looking, adorable little housecat, but it's actually just a new species. Image credit: Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz

#RIP Tim Curry (1946-2026). One of the most versatile actors of all time.
Tim Curry has died at the age of 80, TMZ reports.

Same here. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend. If @icmlconf allows it, I would gladly donate my free registration to a student.
Just recognized as a gold reviewer at #ICML2026! However, I will not attend ICML this year. If doable, I really would like to transfer this free registration to a student from an underrepresented group. Is that possible? @icmlconf

From @icmlconf's latest email: "You are eligible to receive a non-transferrable complimentary registration". Sad.

Última parte del video sobre el mejor juego jamás creado en la historia de la humanidad: El Red Dead Redemption II Acá youtu.be/EK2BUzP8I7Q Pido una compartida, y una megusteada y una retwiteada porque elegí no monetizarlo para usar un TEMAZO en la cabalgata final de Arthur

Reports on the death of pre-training have indeed been greatly exaggerated.
The secret behind Gemini 3? Simple: Improving pre-training & post-training 🤯 Pre-training: Contra the popular belief that scaling is over—which we discussed in our NeurIPS '25 talk with @ilyasut and @quocleix—the team delivered a drastic jump. The delta between 2.5 and 3.0 is as big as we've ever seen. No walls in sight! Post-training: Still a total greenfield. There's lots of room for algorithmic progress and improvement, and 3.0 hasn't been an exception, thanks to our stellar team. Congratulations to the whole team 💙💙💙

NeurIPS is in just three weeks. I have quite a few papers that I want to read before attending, and very little time to do so 🫤
