4+ hour, 31+ min ago (1451+ words) By Don Wallace, Conor Griffin, Sean O’Neill, Thang Luong, Owen Larter Over the past year, agents have transformed what it means to code. Scientific research may be next — from proposing novel hypotheses, to designing experiments, to discovering algorithms that improve…...
AlphaEvolve: How our Gemini-powered coding agent is scaling impact across fields
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (819+ words) A year ago, we introduced AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithms. We showed that AlphaEvolve can help make new discoveries on open problems across mathematics and computer science, and optimize algorithms that have since been deployed across…...
Science Needs AI Data Stocktakes: A Proof-of-Concept for Fusion
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (1357+ words) A proof-of-concept for fusion energy By Conor Griffin, Don Wallace, and Theo Brown For 40 years, amid green pastures outside Culham, a small village in Oxfordshire, scientists and engineers toiled at the Joint European Torus. They were attempting to harness nuclear…...
Image Generators are Generalist Vision Learners
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (618+ words) Recent works show that image and video generators exhibit zero-shot visual understanding behaviors, in a way reminiscent of how Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Gemini and GPT develop emergent capabilities of language understanding and reasoning from generative pretraining. While…...
SEA-LION v4 is an open multimodal model trained for Southeast Asian languages and cultural contexts
5+ mon, 22+ hour ago (813+ words) With the help of Google Cloud’s Vertex Training Clusters (VTC) infrastructure and model training science support, AI Singapore developed a state-of-the-art SEA language model based on Gemma 3 27B. In late 2025, AI Singapore (AISG) released SEA-LION v4, the next chapter for their flagship…...
