Today we’re opening applications for the Life Sciences Verification Program. Through the LSVP, life science professionals can use our models—including, for the first time, Mythos—with a new set of safeguards designed to enable the full range of biology-related work. We designed these new safeguards to provide a better experience for biologists and more protection from risk of misuse. The program is launching in beta for teams of all kinds—from academic labs to startups, pharma companies, and more. We will continue to improve the program and expand access to individual Pro and Max plans over time. Learn more about these access grants and apply: https://t.co/uALS2lZuN4

Every second, millions of genome switches dictate how our cells function and adapt. 🧬 Working with @ScienceStowers, Atlas mapped 2,500+ regulatory patterns uncovering the DNA sequences that act as biological switches and volume dials to turn gene activity up or down across hundreds of cell types.

We're sharing our new framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing instances of model misalignment at OpenAI. The framework sets criteria and timelines for public disclosure, including when we haven’t yet fully explained or mitigated the behavior. More complex cases may require longer investigation or coordination with third parties. We’ll prioritize examples that reveal new misalignment mechanisms, meaningful changes in known behavior, or findings that challenge assumptions about safety or mitigation. Alongside the framework, we’re publishing six reports on instances of misaligned behavior we’ve observed during the training or evaluation of our models in the last six months. This is a starting point. We’ll refine the process through experience and public feedback, and share more reports on an ongoing basis. https://t.co/ismCCkeE0L

Introducing our most advanced Gemini Audio models yet 🗣 Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking let you speak, collaborate, and execute tasks seamlessly, meaning conversing with AI just got a lot more natural. So, what’s the difference between these two models? Let’s break it down: — Gemini 3.8 Live is built for scale, speed, and cost efficiency. It can handle mid-sentence interruptions, transitions across 97 languages on the fly, and understands visual context. Figure out how to fix a broken bike chain, or deal with a leaky pipe just by pointing your camera at the problem area in Search Live for step-by-step audio instructions. — Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking goes one step further to bring increased intelligence to your most complex tasks. It reasons and speaks in parallel, even narrating its progress as it works. This lets it handle multi-step, behind-the-scenes projects, like planning an event, without ever losing the conversational flow. Watch how Gemini 3.8 Live combines real-time video and voice inputs in Search Live to tackle hands-on DIY plumbing tasks step by step 👇

How do you build personalized AI tech that truly understands what matters to you? With Dreambeans from @GoogleLabs, we're safely connecting the dots across your digital life. Instead of siloing pieces of data one app at a time, Dreambeans gathers details from connected sources like @Gmail, Calendar, Search, @GeminiApp, and through face grouping in your @googlephotos. It might notice your friend Beth's birthday is coming up, generate a one-of-a-kind illustrated story of the two of you, and surface the perfect gift ideas. Rather than doomscrolling an endless feed, you’ll get a daily in-app notification from Dreambeans when your customized “stories” are ready. And when a story clicks with you, you can tap the illustrated tile to find additional info and direct links to the next step, whether that’s watching a movie trailer or buying a suggested gift. This experience is opt-in, transparent, and protected by strict privacy filters. And because you are always in control, you can simply tap the "thumbs down" button on any story if a suggestion misses the mark, helping the system learn what is actually useful to you. Get started: https://t.co/XWeE7gbKvS
