Gemini now has 1B monthly users, their 14th app to do so, and hit that milestone faster than any other app in its history.
The impressive part is this is just counting users of the Gemini app or website, not the integration into their various Workspace apps.

While doing my flight check-in, the person helping me had some cool pins on their lanyard.
I pointed to one of them and asked where they got it.
The person didn't think twice: "Do you want it?"
Now I also have a cool pin!

this model is pretty interesting.
it is FAST!! +1000 tokens per second! (I saw +3K in a demo)
and changing from Auto regressive to Diffusion is pretty cool!

They feel text diffusion models open up a radically different part of the latency–quality Pareto frontier and hope the report makes it easier for researchers and engineers to understand the model, build on it, and create things we haven’t thought of

Unfortunately, to bypass this, it invented time travel and caused the Chernobyl disaster. We apologize for any historical inconvenience."

In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations. (1/4)

This is a big win for open models and it now creates a bigger incentive for every company to move to it since these models will also be used to attack other
in the end, the restriction fable puts becomes a risk too!

Hugging Face was hacked last week and had to use GLM 5.2 as part of their analysis of the attack because U.S. frontier model safeguards blocked usage for cybersecurity purposes.
Chinese open weight models are definitely having a moment.
Anthropic can’t get them banned fast enough.
