Klay Thompson on guarding Stephen Curry:
“It was fun. It was really fun…felt good to block his shot…he had an incredible night. what Steph is doing…I got to see it every night and it became normal but to see it as an opponent — it was incredible especially that he’s nearing 40 and he moves like a young athlete, it’s all the respect in the world for him. He deserves all the accolades and money — he’s 1 of 1 and the game is going to miss when he does hang it up.”

THE BAY IS BACK ON TOP 🏆👏
The Valkyries are bringing a title back to Golden State for the first time since the Warriors won the NBA title in 2022.
Looking forward to trying this out!
Agaram 2.5B is out. It's a Tamil-first language model we trained from scratch at @MuraiLabsHQ , our small non-profit lab. As far as we know, it's the first Tamil model trained from scratch that can call tools.
It chats in Tamil, Tanglish and English, translates, and can call tools. We're releasing the base model, chat model and GGUF files under Apache-2.0. You can download it and run it offline on your own laptop.
The first chat model had a four-day public preview. Seeing where it fell short with real users helped us decide what to work on. We rebuilt the fine-tuning around what we saw, using 222,662 records.
Thank you to everyone who spent time with that early version.
The video walks through the model. You can try it here:

I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

For those not aware, NASA certified the Cybertruck as an Astronaut Emergency Egress Vehicle, allowing SpaceX to replace their aging MRAPs.
If something goes wrong on the pad, the crew needs to get as far away as possible, as quickly as possible, and Cybertruck provides that speed and protection.
A NASA spokesperson said that both the agency and SpaceX "assessed the capability of the vehicle for all situations that would be encountered in an emergency and found that the Cybertruck met NASA’s requirements."

SpaceX added ~1% to global internet bandwidth with today's Starship launch.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This only increased the global *satellite* capacity by 1%, not the entire world including terrestrial network capacity

Today, we’re proud to announce Databricks as the new sponsor of Cal Bears Field! 🐻
All seven of our co-founders are Cal alumni. The earliest lines of what would become Databricks were written at Berkeley’s Soda Hall, fueled by late nights and a shared belief that data and AI could accelerate human progress.
This sponsorship is our way of investing in the next generation of researchers and builders who’ll have their own breakthroughs there.
Our mission has always been to democratize data and AI. It started at Cal. We’re glad to help it continue there.
Go Bears. 💙
