Forgive me if I'm not up to date on every new shiny reasoning model. My emotional bandwidth these days is spent on checking if my parents are being deported out of the country 😡

We don't appreciate SWE-bench, and the way it moved lab discourse, enough.

Sure, it's only Python, SWE life is more than bugfixing, not all code can be tested...

But.

A benchmark is really a model of your target use case. And, as we know, all models are wrong but some are useful 😉

Welcome to Gemini 2.0 era!

I am thrilled about ✨ Gemini 2.0 Flash as it allowed us to build the next generation of Code Agents experience: developers.googleblog.com/en/the-next-...

H100s don't grow on trees, you know. #NeurIPS2024

Hello Vancouver!
For the NeurIPS week, they should've replaced this ⭐ with a ✨ lol.

Oh, and I'll also be at #NeurIPS! First after the pandemic, too. Do I still remember to shake hands and make eye contact? Is the Vancouver Conv Center map burned into my memory? Let's find out.

✨ Stoked to chat about Gemini, code/SWE agents, and whether our industry is doomed to obsolete ourselves.

*taps mic* Is this thing on?
Well, as good a time for an intro as any 😅

Hello world! I'm Alex. In no particular order:
• research scientist at Google DeepMind
• Gemini SWE Agents co-lead
• Ukrainian
• New Yorker
• movie nerd

Happy to try again on a new forum. Maybe it'll feel like 2019 again 😊
