Our IMO gold model is not just an "experimental reasoning" model. It is way more general purpose than anyone would have expected. This general deep think model is going to be shipped so stay tuned! 🔥.

Had a super fun time training this model. A big yolo run that resulted in a super strong model. Most important thing is to trust your model and give it morale support. 🦾. Was also a big eye opener to see how prep for IMO is done. Before this I knew absolutely zero about this.
Right before #imo2025, together with colleagues from Mountain View, NYC, Singapore, etc, we all gathered at @GoogleDeepMind headquarter in London for our final push for IMO. I believe that week was when all magic happened!. We put all individual recipes (that we figured out

Shipping earnings like a new Gemini model 🚀📈.
1/ Q2 was a standout quarter with robust growth across the company. As we showed at I/O, we’re leading at the frontier of AI and shipping at an incredible pace. Search and YouTube saw strong revenue growth. And Cloud had another quarter of strong growth in revenues +.

Watching AI progress is like watching your child grow up. You don't notice the little day to day changes but all of a sudden after some period of time you look back and you become amazed and shocked by how much have changed. 😮. Every minor revision to the model, every.

My co-captain here Jonathan was very critical to the Gemini deep think IMO gold medal 😃. He is new to X so please follow him 👇.
I’m excited to share the news of Gemini Deep Think’s gold-medal level performance 🥇 at the International Math Olympiad! It has been an absolute blast building Deep Think this year and then scaling it to the IMO.

@lmthang @quocleix @jon_lee0 @NateKushman @DawsenHwang This model is actually not only amazing at IMO/math, but also other domains and tasks (stay tuned). The true frontier of AI is exciting! 😃.

Was amazing to have been roped in this effort by @lmthang and @quocleix. Also shoutout to my co-captains @jon_lee0 @NateKushman and pol. @DawsenHwang who was the real hero behind the scenes.

First official Gold medal at IMO from DeepMind🥇 with Gemini Deep Think. A general purpose text-in text-out model achieving gold medal is something quite unthinkable just about one year ago and here we are! The frontier of AI is incredibly exciting! . Happy to have co-led /.
An advanced version of Gemini with Deep Think has officially achieved gold medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. 🥇. It solved 5️⃣ out of 6️⃣ exceptionally difficult problems, involving algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. Here’s how 🧵

Doing the right thing is important, even if you get penalized for it.

On-policyness is power. Walk your own trajectories and don't imitate. Such a big fan of ML wisdom for the day to day life. 😃.
Becoming an RL diehard in the past year and thinking about RL for most of my waking hours inadvertently taught me an important lesson about how to live my own life. One of the big concepts in RL is that you always want to be “on-policy”: instead of mimicking other people’s.

AI breakthroughs in the last 5 years are all defined by finding the right axis to scale up 😀👇. 2021: scaling model parameters .2022: scaling data / tokens .2024: scaling inference time compute / CoT.2025: scaling ai researcher comp.
