Yesterday the DeepMind team introduced AlphaEvolve: a Gemini-powered coding agent for algorithm discovery.
What I find impressive is that a single system can contribute to numerous open problems in maths and computer science. Which proves that Agents can discover novel and useful algorithms

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Gemini 2.5 Pro just got an upgrade.
It' got better at coding, with significant gains in front-end web development, editing, and transformation. We also fixed a bunch of function calling issue.
You can access it as gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06 on VertexAI and AIStudio
More details in 🧵
This is cool. You can now use Gradio to build a MCP server in just a few lines of Python.
