We’ve pushed out the Pareto frontier of efficiency vs. intelligence again. With Gemini 3 Flash ⚡️, we are seeing reasoning capabilities previously reserved for our largest models, now running at Flash-level latency. This opens up entirely new categories of near real-time

This is the first time we've hooked reasoning up to an image generation model. The model now generates images inside the thinking trace, analyzes them, and once it's happy, will present the images to the user. Self-correction doesn't always happen automatically, but you can nudge

Today we're launching a major upgrade to the image generation capabilities of our Gemini 3 model. Gemini 3 Pro Image can generate an incredible array of realistic imagery, complex visuals, infographics and more. Here are some examples: Show me a chart of the solar system and
We just dropped Nano Banana Pro, built on Gemini 3. 🍌 With state-of-the-art text rendering, vast world knowledge and studio-quality creative controls, Gemini 3 Pro Image can create and edit more complex visuals, infographics and more. Here’s what’s under the hood. 🧵

TPU-style collective matmuls on GPU!
Want to improve GPU compute/comms overlap? We just published a new short tutorial for you! A few small changes to the Pallas:MGPU matmul kernel is all it takes to turn it into an all-gather collective matmul that overlaps NVLINK comms with local compute:

Check out the latest Blackwell features for Pallas on MGPU!! Adam and the team have pulled off some amazing language/library design + performance engineering!
Curious how to write SOTA performance Blackwell matmul kernels using MGPU? We just published a short step-by-step tutorial: https://t.co/XRVX34juEz At each step, we show exactly what (small) changes are necessary to refine the kernel and the final kernel is just under 150 lines.
