Delighted to share our new @googlehealth @GoogleAI @Deepmind paper at the intersection of LLMs + health. Our LLMs building on Flan-PaLM reach SOTA on multiple medical question answering datasets including 67.6% on MedQA USMLE (+17% over prior work). arxiv.org/abs/2212.13138

Google may not be perfect, and I am admittedly biased, but two Nobel Prizes awarded on consecutive days are a testament to its innovative spirit — a reason why so many of my generation associate it with magic. Modern-day academia with resources, great colleagues and freedom -

During Thanksgiving break last year, our AI co-scientist team @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleResearch - @Mysiak @alan_karthi met Prof @jrpenades @CostaT_Lab of @imperialcollege. They were nearing a breakthrough on how bacteria share resistance genes and proposed a test for our AI

We are entering the "slop era" of AI for scientific discovery. Too much will be packaged as novel breakthroughs, cures to intractable diseases or solutions to unsolved problems, purely to chase attention and virality. Time and history will be the ultimate judge.

This is just the beginning. In the coming days and months, we'll share more prospective validated results where our AI co-scientist generated novel, testable hypotheses for complex open-ended problems, showing how the system can meaningfully accelerate scientific research.

If i had a nickel for every serious scientist who told me @GoogleDeepMind AI co-scientist made a novel research discovery, I would have enough to buy lunch for the team 🙃 In all seriousness, though, real proof in science is experimental validation, peer-reviewed publication,

if i had a nickel for every MIT professor who told me GPT5 made a novel research discovery in the past week, i'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice

Gemini 3 Pro is a pretty cool model. The general advances in multimodal reasoning and coding are great but the most interesting part might actually be the science & medicine advances it enables. We'll share more soon :) Congrats to everyone at @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleAI!
