We already have the computers. Imagine what we could build together. We're building Potluck to connect machines in our homes, offices, and communities to power larger local AI models. So bring what you've got. And let's build something bigger. trypotluck.ai

Finished my workout, not a huge fan of lifting at night but it’s gotta be done.

My kids are going to be so stoked. I appreciate these movies so much for getting my kids interested in going to movie theaters.

Hell yeah, very impressive.
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model. Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching. We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards. As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

We brought Touch to the Mac! From the all-new iPad mini to the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac... and now MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch, creators have new tools to do their best work yet.

"Can you turn your camera on?" Brother, you've caught me at the bottom of a squat max. No I cannot.

I mean how is this even sustainable. This is insane. I know maybe 2 people in my life that could put this kind of money into a machine like this.

Massive!
Next for Potluck: AI that knows your company’s work, runs on infrastructure you control, and improves from reviewed outcomes. We’re starting with engineering investigations and handoffs. Interested in helping test this direction? Reply or DM us.

I’m in love with this sentence: “Bigger dreams call for healthier habits and healthier habits require more self discipline.”
