What are some of the benefits to working with full-stack AI? @rseroter: Because Google manages the entire stack — from running the underlying infrastructure all the way up to delivering @Gmail — there's massive system reliability. If a technical failure happens at one layer, our ownership of the platform allows us to catch it and handle it at another layer easily, rather than waiting for an external provider to fix it. There's also an economic advantage. Since we aren't paying third-party vendors for anything, customers don't have to absorb those fees, which means we can offer remarkably competitive pricing.

🧵Our unique full-stack approach to AI lets us deliver powerful, cost-efficient products to developers and everyday users. But what exactly does it mean when a technology system is "full-stack,” and why is it so important to our approach? We talked to @rseroter, senior director and chief evangelist at @googlecloud, to break it all down 👇 Where does the phrase “full-stack” come from, and what does it mean when we’re talking about tech? @rseroter: The term "full-stack" originally came out in software development a decade or so ago — usually in regard to applications. Historically, building an app required multiple specialized teams: a front-end developer to build beautiful user interfaces, a back-end developer to handle server-side logic and a dedicated database team. The concept of a "full-stack engineer" emerged to describe a developer who could work across all of these functions independently. Instead of constantly handing off components from one person to another, a full-stack engineer could take an idea from a rough concept all the way to a fully running piece of software.

🧵Up, up and away 🚀 Gemma 4, our most intelligent open models to date, just hit 200 million downloads. Since its launch 2.5 months ago, developers, researchers and startups have used Gemma 4 to fine-tune and deploy models across a variety of environments — from wearable robotic arms for physical assistance to enterprise-grade AI security.

🎣 Made this @GoogleChrome extension with @antigravity that lets you record actions in the browser, then has Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite automatically convert those tasks into Skills! The actions in the DOM are used to supplement your video, so you get very fine-grained instructions:

200 million times! 🚀🚀 That’s how many times developers, researchers, and startups have downloaded the Gemma 4 family in just 2.5 months. When we built Gemma, our goal was to bring Google’s Gemini research to the open-science community in an accessible and highly capable package. Seeing this milestone today is both humbling and exhilarating. From lightweight agents to satellites orbiting Earth, the community is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with our open models. At Google DeepMind, our commitment to open science and developer choice remains unwavering. Gemma 4 is just one step in this journey, and we are excited to keep iterating alongside you. To celebrate, here is a look at the real-world, global impact Gemma is having, and how it’s empowering the next generation of builders 👇 Thank you to everyone who has downloaded, fine-tuned, and built with Gemma. We can't wait to show you what's next.

Simply describe a task like, “Send me a daily pre-market briefing analyzing significant overnight moves across major cryptocurrencies.” When your update is ready, you’ll receive a notification through the Google app for Android or iOS, as well as in the research panel in Google Finance on the web. This feature is also rolling out globally today.

First, we’re starting the global roll out of portfolios. You’ll be able to see all your investments consolidated in a single dashboard that shows performance data and additional insights, like asset allocation and more. Your existing Google Finance portfolios will be available automatically — or you can create a new one by adding screenshots, uploading files that detail your holdings, or even just describing your investments. Once your portfolio is set up, dive deeper with the research tool. Try asking questions like “what sectors are currently underrepresented in my portfolio?”
