great news for folks who like lighter, faster models: gemini-3.1-flash-lite is out! notable updates: ⟡ 1.5x faster generation speed than gemini 2.5 flash ⟡ better reasoning and multimodal understanding ⟡ $0.25 / 1M input tokens ($1.50 for global endpoints) ⟡ great for low latency & cost!

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

if your agent currently lives in localhost:8000 and you're looking for a new home for your agent, Google Cloud just released a guide on how to do so! :-) so you can give your agent a new home in the cloud! it goes over things like: - agent governance - design patterns - A2A & MCP!

your agents ability to buy things just got upgraded 💵! A2A lets agents talk, AP2 lets them transact + do payments. today's v0.2 release introduces: → Human Not Present: secure autonomous payments → Verifiable Intent: tamper-proof record of what users actually authorized 💭

what happened to far east movement can they come back

our 5-day intensive ai agent + vibe coding course by google is back and better than ever with new content, new speakers and a hands on capstone project :) for FREE!! last year we had 1.5mil participants! this is perfect if you want to learn about tools, skills, memory, and deploying agents.

have you ever wanted to chat with someone from 1930?? well, now you can with talkie, a 13B LLM trained up to 1931. i asked it about the future and it basically described texting. i think we really take texting and facetime for granted... talkie-lm.com/chat

Gemini Embedding 2 is out, and it's natively multimodal! 🐶🔥 but you might be wondering what the heck that means and why that's important? well... take the "this is fine" dog for example...

found a neat little website that gives your company a score based on how likely it is to survive the AI SaaSpocalypse. i think a lot of the companies we are familiar with today may not be here in 10-20 years... that being said... happy to announce that costco is immortal!! $1.50 hot dog forever!!

i just found an absolutely adorable AI agent visual overlay called Pixel Agents. every claude code terminal gets its own pixel character (!!), with live activity tracking, that reflects in the pixel world. is if your agent is coding, its pixel character will be coding too! 🥺

excited to announce the release of Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, a very cost-efficient and speedy model for it's price 🥳 - 2.5x faster than 2.5 Flash time to first token (!) - tackles high volume tasks like translation and content moderation very well - can reason and think too!

we are officially 1 step closer to creating iron man's jarvis by giving the @googlecloud ADK ecosystem a ton of new tools and integrations to play with! 🤖 some integrations i'm particularly excited about 🧵👇

just wanted to announce here too that it's been a month since I joined @developers.google.com cloud as a devrel! super excited to be working in this space and we're working on some seriously cool stuff I can't wait to share with y'all 🫶

also I'm going to be at Ray Summit (www.anyscale.com/ray-summit/2...) this year!! come through and say hi if you're coming as well! (not too late to buy tix either - hmu if you need a discount) :)

dang my old domain expired and it costed $100 to update so now i'm just cszhu.dev which sounds cooler anyway

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

I think it’s a very real possibility that Cursor, the only successful AI software as a service company, might die. They had to make massive product changes to deal with their costs, and most of their Subreddit is people saying they’re cancelling their subs. www.reddit.com/r/cursor/com...
