Just got off the earnings call - great quarter and it was our (and my) 40th call as Alphabet.

August will mark 10 years since we announced Alphabet. Been thinking about the incredible growth in our new businesses since then - Cloud, YouTube, Play, Subscriptions etc. To give a sense of progress, in 2015 all of Alphabet’s revenue added up to $75B. YouTube and Cloud alone ended 2024 at an annual run rate of $110B. Then there’s the remarkable evolution in Search. We’ve created entirely new ways to search like Lens + Circle to Search, and we keep incorporating our most advanced AI models. Now AI Overviews and AI Mode are reimagining the types of queries people can ask and we can answer. The side by side comparison is striking:

1/ A quick recap from another week of rapid shipping: 

Great response to our Gemini 2.5 Pro update now in preview. Find it in AI Studio, Vertex + @GeminiApp. 

And good news for @GeminiApp Pro plan members: your 2.5 Pro limit doubled from 50 to 100 queries per day. 2/ AI Mode keeps getting better: we added new dynamic visualizations 📊 in Labs, starting with stocks + mutual funds.

Ask to compare any stocks, show price history over a given period, and much more. Try it here: labs.google.com/search/experim…

At #GoogleIO, we shared how decades of AI research have now become reality. 

From a total reimagining of Search to Agent Mode, Veo 3 and more, Gemini season will be the most exciting era of AI yet. 

Some highlights 🧵 Our newest Gemini 2.5 Flash is better on nearly every dimension: reasoning, multimodality, code, long context. Available for preview in the Gemini app, AI Studio and Vertex AI.

And with Deep Think mode, Gemini 2.5 Pro is getting better, too. Available to trusted testers.

1/  One quarter down, and 2025 already feels like a breakthrough year.

Here’s a quick Q1 update from our earnings call🧵 2/  Our differentiated, full stack approach to AI continues to be central to our growth.

Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent model yet, is providing an extraordinary foundation for our future innovation. Active users in AI Studio and the Gemini API have grown over 200% since the beginning of this year, driven by 2.5 Pro.

1/ Just wrapped my Q4 + FY ’24 earnings remarks. It was another strong quarter, driven by our AI leadership and unique full stack approach. 2/ AI Overviews are now in 100+ countries, and drive higher satisfaction + Search usage. Circle to Search is going great too. 2025 is going to be a big year for Search innovation as AI continues to expand the universe of queries people can ask.

1/ Just finished my Q3 earnings remarks highlighting extraordinary momentum across the company and our differentiated full stack approach to AI innovation - robust infrastructure, research + models, and products + platforms. A few highlights: 🧵blog.google/inside-google/… 2/ Gemini API calls, token volume, consumer usage, business adoption - all growing dramatically. And all 7 of our products and platforms with 2B+ monthly users use Gemini models, including the newest 2B-user product, Google Maps.

Introducing Gemini 1.0, our most capable and general AI model yet. Built natively to be multimodal, it’s the first step in our Gemini-era of models. Gemini is optimized in three sizes - Ultra, Pro, and Nano

Gemini Ultra’s performance exceeds current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely-used academic benchmarks. With a score of 90.0%, Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU.

Now Gemini Pro is coming today in Bard’s biggest update yet (in English in 170 countries) with more advanced reasoning and understanding in the responses. Bard Advanced with Ultra, our most general and capable model for highly complex tasks, is coming early next year.

1/Today at #GoogleIO we shared the bold and responsible approach we're taking to use AI to reimagine our products, including Search with a new generative search experience coming first to Labs. You can sign up starting today. g.co/labs

blog.google/products/searc… 2/ We also introduced our next generation model, PaLM 2. It's powering over 25 new products + features, has improved multilingual, reasoning and coding capabilities, and can be fine-tuned for specific uses, like health and security.

1/ In 2021, we shared next-gen language + conversation capabilities powered by our Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). Coming soon: Bard, a new experimental conversational #GoogleAI service powered by LaMDA.
blog.google/technology/ai/… 2/ Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world's knowledge with the power, intelligence, and creativity of our large language models. It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses. Today we're opening Bard up to trusted external testers.

1/ At #GoogleIO today we shared how we're advancing two core parts of our mission -- knowledge and computing -- to deliver products that are built to help. Here are a few things we announced:

The future of work at Google is flexibility. The majority of our employees still want to be on campus some of the time yet many would also enjoy the flexibility of working from home a couple days a week… ...spending time in another city for part of the year, or even moving there permanently. Google’s future workplace will have room for all of these possibilities. We’re moving to a hybrid work week with most Googlers in the office approximately 3 days a week.
