🎙️ @GoogleDeepMind, @DeepStationAI, and @SuperteamUSA are teaming up for AI Build Night at The DOCK on Thursday, November 5th! 🚀 💥 Anyone can watch a Gemini launch video, but how often do you get to build with Gemini next to the people who make it? Google DeepMind kicks off with back-to-back lightning talks and live demos, then the whole room builds with Gemini in Google AI Studio! 🔸 Google DeepMind on stage: 🔹 Thor Schaeff, Developer Experience at Google DeepMind, on Gemini Audio 🔹 Dmitry Lyalin, Member of Technical Staff at Google DeepMind, on Google AI Studio 🔹 Plus a startup demo, to be announced 🔸 Then, we build: 🔹 Build your own project with Gemini 4 Argon in Google AI Studio 🔹 Mentors on the floor for every skill level, plus food and drinks 🔹 Show what you built at the end, if you'd like 👤 Speaker Spotlight: Thor Schaeff Thor Schaeff is a Member of the Technical Staff at Google DeepMind, working on developer experience for the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with a focus on Gemini audio. He previously built developer experience teams at ElevenLabs and Supabase, helping Supabase grow from 800 databases to well beyond 1 million, and was a developer advocate at Stripe. In Thor's words: "I help developers build with Gemini." 👤 Speaker Spotlight: Dmitry Lyalin Dmitry Lyalin is a Member of Technical Staff at Google DeepMind, where he works on Google AI Studio. At Google, he previously led product for the Gemini CLI and for Firebase Serverless, Genkit and Firebase Studio, after 14 years at Microsoft. In Dmitry's words: "My journey started with building simple websites for my friend's parents, and since then, I have never looked back." 📅 Date: Thursday, November 5, 2026 ⏰ Time: 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM ET 📍 Location: The DOCK, Miami 🎟️ Register: luma.com/ai-build-night-miam… 🙇‍♂️ Thank you to Google DeepMind for building this night with us! 🙏 Thank you to Superteam USA and The LAB Miami for hosting us! Without our community of 6,000+ global members, none of this would be possible. Together, we will build Miami into a leading global AI & tech center! 🌟 #GoogleDeepMind #Gemini #AIBuildNight #Miami #DeepStation #BuildMiami

$ gemini-api cook 🔥
Introducing Gemini API CLI (gemini-api), now available in preview! Our CLI gives your agent power to generate images, videos, text-to-speech, or music, analyze media, transcribe audio, or manage agents. No more guessing model strings, throwaway scripts or endless curl. 🧵 👇

Oh man, that flip is so satisfying also ☺️ Nice cooking @SammmAing 🔥
Okay, Gemini 4 Argon is freaking good at this. First try in @antigravity, set to High. A concert ticket you can bend, flip and tear off. Tearing it is so satisfying. It rips one fiber at a time and even the sound is made in code. The holographic foil shifts as the paper bends. It feels super premium. The full prompt below.

Hey, no AI posts today. Tough day to be an engineer. If you are using Railway, LiteLLM, PHP, GitLab, Node (brotli) please check your setup. Below some helpful links and a prompt for your agent. Check even if you think you aren't impacted. Don't give up. We're in this together. Help each other out.

Friendly reminder that your next trip should be cycling around Taiwan! 🚴🇹🇼🏝️ Step 1: Join for a week of co-working and networking at @HackerHouseTW! Step 2: Book a fully organized group ride with Giant Adventure, e.g. giant-adventure.com/TW/trave… 走吧!
I went offline last week to cycle one loop around Taiwan 🚵🇹🇼 🏝️ The nature, the people, the food and so much more on this beautiful island are absolutely incredible! ✨ If you’ve been curious about Taiwan, this is your sign to come and explore! 🧵

Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time. Made with Opus 5.5 learn-arduino-red.vercel.app

This is so relaxing. 😌 I could watch it all day. 🤩
This is my new favorite thing I've built with Argon: an iced coffee simulator, *completely* from scratch. No physics engine, fluid libraries or pre-baked animations, only three.js, WebGL2 math and custom 3D models - all running in Chrome 🤯 Approach, prompt & thoughts below! 🧵
