- 📈 My thoughts on Google Q4 earnings: Serving costs down 78%, efficiency up 4.5x. The math behind the AI race. Compute efficiency is one of the most important metrics in the AI race. Spending smarter, not just more. Huge thanks to the Googlers making this happen! 🚀 www.linkedin.com/posts/hoilam...
- AI doesn't need to be zero sum. "Demand response" is one such example. ⚡ By partnering with our electric suppliers, we are able to unlock more capacity AND respond to local demand spikes. It's a win-win!
- 🥳 Introducing Google Gemini 2.5 Deep Think trained on Google TPUs. Our team pushed SoTA inference compute harder than ever before. It's a variation of the model that won gold in International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) but optimised for day-to-day use. Now available to Gemini Ultra subscribers.

- 🥇 I am so happy to see the Google DeepMind Gemini team **OFFICIALLY** achieved gold-medal performance. Not only did we get 5 out of 6 questions correct. What's more amazing is the official IMO graders find those answers to be clear, precise and easy to follow! 1/ deepmind.google/discover/blo...
- As AI gets more advanced, interpretability will become an increasingly important part of safety. So congratulations to the team on advancing the SoTA and keeping the results interpretable. Well done!🥳 end/
- Personal view: The UK is too small a country to compete with the US and China on its own. 100k AI chips by 2030 is uncompetitive. We need to work with our EU friends if we really want to be "AI makers and not AI takers". #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺 on.ft.com/43RMZ1A

- Terrorism is stupid but this one is extra. The event the couple attended was an inter-faith effort to send humanitarian aid to innocent Palestinians. Now Netanyahu will use this as a cover to hit Gaza harder.😢 Two Israeli embassy staff killed after Washington DC shooting www.bbc.com/news/live/cy...

- I am saddened by protesters against Israel's entry for #Eurovision. Israel is not Russia. Israel didn't start the war. More importantly, most Israelis (68%) wants a hostage deal that will end the war. If we want peace, protest against Netanyahu, not Israel. www.timesofisrael.com/poll-61-of-i...
- Quick recap on this week's elections: 🇨🇦 Right wing populist defeated. 🇦🇺 Right wing populist defeated. 🇬🇧 Right wing populist screwed up our economy with Brexit, why don't we give them another go?🤔
- Breaking: US economy...
- Getting ready for MAGA to reheat all the Brexit arguments that: a) it's short term pain for long term gain, b) long term = next month -> next year -> next election -> your children -> your grandchildren -> [repeat] -> heat death of the universe. www.ft.com/content/104e...
- 🇨🇦 Congratulations, Canada! I don't know if you could have delivered a stronger rejection to Trump than this. Wow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr... #CanadaStrong
- 🇨🇦 Canadian friends. No matter what Pierre Poilievre said, Trump will interpret every vote for the Conservatives as a vote for Canada to become the 51st state. If you value your independence, voting Liberal is the only way. Good luck, Your friends in Europe #CanadaStrong
- 🍻Congratulations Liverpool on the historic win. BTW that's a Google Pixel 9 Pro!😁
- Prior to Trump and what he did to Ukraine, I was planning a family holiday in the US. Now I am not...
- This is Brexit but worse. I didn't think it was possible but Trump did it.

- For those parents who are traumatised by Adolescence. You should watch Breeders next to balance it out.😅 www.netflix.com/gb/title/812...
- A lot of DeepSeek's models are running on other people's infrastructure so I won't judge them purely on app store rankings. BUT we will see if hardware matters as the new Google Trillium TPUs, Nvidia GB200/300, and Amazon Trainium2 are deployed *at scale* in 2H 2025 / 1H 2026.
- Remember when America was the good guy saving the world? 🇺🇸 #TopGun

- With all the sensors on the outside, I'm assuming the Waymo windscreen wiper is only activated for the passenger's benefit. One of the things we can do without in a fully automated future?🤔
