Gemini Omni doesn't just build scenes that look real, it reasons about what should happen next.Koray KavukcuogluMay 19, 2026· Post
Omni draws on Gemini's knowledge to connect language, imagery and meaning in ways that go far beyond pattern matching.Koray KavukcuogluMay 19, 2026· Post
As model intelligence accelerates with Gemini 3, we have the opportunity to reimagine the entire developer experience.Koray KavukcuogluNov 18, 2025· Post
Gemini 3 is the best vibe coding and agentic coding model we’ve ever built – making our products more autonomous and boosting developer productivity.Koray KavukcuogluNov 18, 2025· Post
Today we’re taking another big step on the path toward AGI and releasing Gemini 3.Koray KavukcuogluNov 18, 2025· Post
And actually, I would be really worried for humanity given the other challenges that we have, climate, aging, resources, all of that if I didn’t know something like AI was coming down the line.Demis HassabisJul 23, 2025· Interview
And I was expecting this because more and more people are finally realizing, leaders of companies, what I’ve always known for 30 plus years now, which is that AGI is the most important technology probably that’s ever going to be invented.Demis HassabisJul 23, 2025· Interview
And it sort of fits with the way I think about physics in general, which is that I think information is primary, information is the most sort of fundamental unit of the universe, more fundamental than energy and matter.Demis HassabisJul 23, 2025· Interview
And we’re probably close, and again in the next five years to having AI systems that can materially help with those problems.Demis HassabisJul 23, 2025· Interview

I think there’ll be new jobs we can’t even imagine today, just like the internet created.Demis HassabisJul 23, 2025· Interview

So I wouldn’t be surprised if we had AGI-like systems within the next decade.Demis HassabisFeb 28, 2024· Interview
So my betting would be that the final AGI system will have these large multimodal models as part of the overall solution, but they probably won’t be enough on their own.Demis HassabisFeb 28, 2024· Interview
The better your world model is, the more efficient your search can be.Demis HassabisFeb 28, 2024· Interview
And so, yeah, I think there's a 50% chance that we have AGI by 2028.Shane LeggOct 26, 2023· Interview
I think we can start training models now with the scale of the data that is beyond what a human can experience in a lifetime. So I think this is the first unlocking step.Shane LeggOct 26, 2023· Interview
I'm sure what's going to happen is we’re going to get to 2029 and someone's going to say, “Shane, you were wrong.”Shane LeggOct 26, 2023· Interview
