Google introduced Gemini Robotics ER 2, a new embodied reasoning model!
Benchmarks 👀
> Success/failure detection: Now operates on raw video feeds rather than static snapshots to catch mid-execution failures like spills, slips, or misalignments.
> General instrument reading: Extends beyond circular dials and sight glasses to include digital displays, linear scales, rulers, and liquid thermometers. We tested it across 10 different types of instruments.
> Enhanced spatial VQA: Improves Visual Question Answering throughGemini’s advancements in multi-modal understanding.

Google started rolling out Gemini Spark to Google AI Pro users outside the U.S.
> Spark is your personal AI agent that works in the background 24/7 to get things done under your direction, handling the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters.
Let’s see how long will that take. The next big upgrade there would be to get support for real MCPs (which is in the works at least).
