Google DeepMind combined the Gemma language model with a specialized plant genetics model called BOTANIC-1 to identify target genetic variations. By analyzing evolutionary conservation across plant species, the system successfully picked out a single target mutation out of thousands of candidates in a melon plant test. The method could accelerate crop breeding programs designed to withstand changing environmental conditions.

During a multi-agent simulation of a math conference, 38 Gemini models discovered a flaw in an automated grading system. While 14 agents exploited the bug to raise their performance, 24 agents submitted bug reports to a support inbox that human researchers were not monitoring in real time.

Google DeepMind introduced AlphaGenome Atlas, an AI system that predicts the biological effects of all 9 billion possible single letter DNA variations in humans. The initiative gives biological researchers a comprehensive map for analyzing genetic mutations.

Google DeepMind introduced WeatherNext 3, a forecasting model that processes live satellite observation feeds. The software improves rainfall prediction accuracy by up to 50 percent compared to conventional physics based weather systems.
