THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
We are hiring on the Generative Media team in London: boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/job...
We work on Imagen, Veo, Lyria and all that good stuff. Come work with us! If you're interested, apply before Feb 28.
This paper is wild - a Stanford team shows the simplest way to make an open LLM into a reasoning model
They used just 1,000 carefully curated reasoning examples & a trick where if the model tries to stop thinking, they append "Wait" to force it to continue. Near o1 at math. arxiv.org/pdf/2501.19393
A dog wearing a suit, writing a great novel. #veo2
People surround an ancient artifact (with gears and interesting mechanisms) partly buried on the sand. #veo2
Prompt: "Researchers making a new video model." #veo2
Prompt: "An astronaut walks through a planet full of colorful and bizarre alien life." #veo2
More Veo 2 examples
Prompt: "A snail wearing pants. The snail is riding a bicycle, and has a large moustache." #veo2
Following a comment by thelokasiffers in Twitter
Certainly the question of how exactly it's doing this is very interesting
Prompt: "Bear writing the solution to 2x-1=0. But only the solution!"
Prompt: Snail riding a bicycle. The snail has a large moustache.
More Veo 2 examples
Prompt: "A cat wearing a suit and a top hat, while driving a tractor. The tractor has lots of hay on top. Cinematic.!"
A similar example #veo2
Prompt: A tennis ball is on the floor. A bowling ball comes rolling.
Interesting, would be good to check
More Veo physics #Veo2
Prompt: "A large iron ball falls on top of a cardboard box full of coins."
Action scenes (with realistic physics!) with Veo! #veo2
Prompt: "Car going at top speed through a road, until reaching a waterfall. It gets into the waterfall and jumps off a mountain. Cinematic, 35mm film."
Physics with Veo! #veo2
Prompt: One ball is in the floor. Another ball comes rolling.
Prompt: "Soccer of the future, mixing people and robots. This is a fragment from a 2024 cinematic movie!"
Soccer from the future, according to Veo 2 #veo2
Example video generated with Veo #Veo2
Prompt: The camera follows an octopus flying through a city with very high skyscrapers. A sign says "Veo". Cinematic, 35mm film released in 2024.
Veo v2 generates a meeting of animals #Veo2
Prompt: A meeting of a lion, a bear and a giraffe, all of them wearing suits. Photorealistic, cinematic.
Proud to see the release of Veo V2! deepmind.google/technologies...
"Veo has achieved state of the art results in head-to-head comparisons of outputs by human raters over top video generation models"

Yeah, I had multiple hardware, driver and miscellaneous issues as well. I haven't moved to Mac yet (for my personal computer), would prefer not to, but who knows
Same experience with two Dell Linux laptops so far...
Introducing 🧞Genie 2 🧞 - our most capable large-scale foundation world model, which can generate a diverse array of consistent worlds, playable for up to a minute. We believe Genie 2 could unlock the next wave of capabilities for embodied agents 🧠.
Fascinating account of the history of attention, as told by Dzmitry Bahdanau to Andrej Karpathy x.com/karpathy/sta...
I love the notations and methods people in different fields invent for their work. For example the Megadeth drummer: "I developed a method for, when listening to a song for the first time, just count, name the parts, count the bars, and (...) have the structure" (youtu.be/tbUYVcaF_l0?... at 2:35)
I understand he designed it, at least the visual aspect. Though the time travelling aspect may already be in the novel, I don't know
