🚨BREAKING: Google just merged Gemini and NotebookLM into one... unified workspace and it changes everything about how you use AI for deep work. It's called Notebooks in Gemini and it's the personal knowledge base that power users have been begging for. You create a notebook for a project, drop in your files, PDFs, and documents, give Gemini custom instructions, and every chat you have stays organized in one place. No more hunting through old conversations. No more re-uploading the same files every session. The wildest part is the sync. Anything you add in Gemini automatically appears in NotebookLM. Anything you add in NotebookLM automatically appears in Gemini. One source of truth. Two powerful apps. Zero friction switching between them. So you can start a research notebook in Gemini, ask it questions all week, then flip to NotebookLM to generate a Cinematic Video Overview from the same material. Next morning, open Gemini and ask it to write a full report on exactly what you just watched. That workflow used to take three apps and a lot of copy-pasting. Now it's one notebook. Rolling out this week to Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on web. Mobile and free users coming soon. What do you think?show more

Gemini-powered robot can now effectively debug itself! I've been... obsessed with two main questions in robotics: can robots learn from their own mistakes without humans in the loop, and how much can we leverage synthetic data? Spoiler: yes, and it's surprisingly elegant once you have the right primitives in place. The architecture is fairly simple (and optimized for GPU_Poor users): Component I: Gemini Brain ♊️ - Gemini 2.0 Flash analyzes all training episodes through both camera perspectives - Gemini 2.0 Pro creates a summary of training data, highlighting biases, limitations, etc. - Train policy p0 on this initial data, run evaluation episodes - Ask Gemini to categorize successes vs. failures (more insightful than you'd expect) - Based on both analyses, Gemini generates specific augmentation recommendations What's interesting here isn't that we're using LLMs for robotics - it's that we're closing the loop between perception, failure analysis, and targeted data generation. Component II: Data Generation with Scene Consistency The tricky part was maintaining consistency across both camera perspectives while generating new data. Three current augmentations: - Frame flipping and polarity reversals - Grounded-SAM + OpenCV for object color manipulation - Gemini to identify empty space and generate distractions in the scene …and repeat, ha! I'm using the so100 robot arm and Sarah’s Vintage from Hugging Face. And the APIs and models in Gemini family are Ace! Thank you Logan Kilpatrick Patrick Loeber and team for this.

🚨Gemini 3.6 Flash is trash I tested it on... a 3D Golden Gate Bridge, and the results were awful. • I had to re-prompt it three times because it repeatedly ignored the instructions. • First attempt, instead of creating the requested .html file, it first tried to build the experience inside the Gemini app using simulations. • Then second attempt it started placing images from the web into the chat rather than actually producing the file. • Even after getting it to complete the task, the final output was dramatically worse than Gemini 3.1 Pro, which is 5 months old and now not even a top 10 model on leaderboards. This feels like a regression from Gemini 3.5 Flash and honestly, it is one of the weakest models I have tested in the past few months. Has anyone else tested Gemini 3.6 Flash yet, and are you seeing the same thing?show more

We’re introducing Universal Cart — a new hub for... shopping on Google. 🛍️ It will work across merchants and across services. 🛒 You’ll be able to add things to your cart whether you're shopping on Search, the Google Gemini, YouTube or Gmail. 🛠️ The moment you add a product to your cart, it goes to work for you in the background. It finds deals and price drops, gives you insights on price history and alerts you when something comes back in stock. 🧠 It runs on our Gemini models, so your cart gets even smarter as the models improve. 💡 It also applies intelligent reasoning to your cart to help anticipate your needs. For example, if you add something to your cart that’s incompatible with something you already have in there, your cart catches it and suggests an alternative. 💲 It can find you hidden savings. Since it's built on Google Wallet, your cart understands your payment method perks, loyalty information and merchant offers so you don’t miss out on deals or points. #GoogleIOshow more
