Earlier this year, we mentioned that we’re bringing computer use capabilities to developers via the Gemini API. Today, we are releasing the Gemini 2.5 Computer Use model, our new specialized model built on Gemini 2.5 Pro’s visual understanding and reasoning capabilities that powers agents capable of interacting with user interfaces (UIs). It outperforms leading alternatives …
are planning next year’s birthday celebrations for three friends: Gabriel, Jacques, and Camille. All three of them were born in 1996, in Paris, France, so they will be 30 years old next year in 2026. Gabriel and Jacques will happen to be in Paris on their respective birthdays, while Camille will be in Tokyo, Japan, …
Image by Ideogram # Introduction When you hear the word data science, you probably think of two words: programming and statistics. In fact, the prerequisite of learning statistics often discourages people from pursuing a career in data. It doesn’t help that most data science job descriptions make it seem like you need a PhD in …

Image by Editor # Introduction In any machine learning project, feature selection can make or break your model. Selecting the optimal subset of features reduces noise, prevents overfitting, enhances interpretability, and often improves accuracy. With too many irrelevant or redundant variables, models become bloated and harder to train. With too few, they risk missing critical …
