🚀Meet Gemini Diffusion, our first diffusion-based and super fast language model, just announced at Google I/O!🚀. Very excited to be able to share what I've been working on for the past little while with our amazing small team @GoogleDeepMind.
We’ve developed Gemini Diffusion: our state-of-the-art text diffusion model. Instead of predicting text directly, it learns to generate outputs by refining noise, step-by-step. This helps it excel at coding and math, where it can iterate over solutions quickly. #GoogleIO

I’ve sadly witnessed @FelixHill84’s life unravel over the past 2 years. So incredibly heartbreaking. Sharing his story to raise awareness of the dangers of ketamine and to reduce the stigma around mental health issues. You have only one brain folks, please take care of it.
