For decades, we’ve dreamed of robots that can seamlessly step into our world and lend a hand. Today, we take a major stride toward making that dream a reality: Introducing Gemini Robotics 2 from @GoogleDeepMind, the intelligence layer powering the next generation of truly adaptable robots. This major advance unlocks intelligent whole-body control, advanced dexterity, and even multi-robot collaboration 🤯. Ok but... how does a robot actually "think"? Real-world tasks take time and planning. To manage that complexity, our new embodied reasoning model, Gemini Robotics ER 2, acts as the robot’s high-level brain, enhancing the robot’s capabilities to: — Observe the environment — Reason about the actions needed to complete the task — Coordinate with the vision-language-action model to carry out actions — Track progress until the job is done This setup allows robots to execute complex multi-step workflows, self-correct if a step fails, and adapt to completely novel situations.

The future of mathematics and science will increasingly sit at the intersection of mathematical sciences, artificial intelligence and scientific discovery. Through initiatives such as the AI for Science Stream funded by @GoogleDeepMind, @AIMSacza helps prepare students to understand, shape and apply these tools responsibly. This is part of our broader commitment to future-facing skills, African scientific leadership and innovation with purpose. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁. 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.

@garosaumon @FrenchRapUS Je me demande comment ils arrivent à pas rire à ça. T’es super drôle 😭

🪘 Theme announcement 🪘 We are proudly announcing the theme for #DLI2026: 🌾Ìmọ̀ Wa – Our Shared Knowledge🌾 "Ìmọ̀ Wa" is a Yoruba phrase meaning "our knowledge". It speaks to a truth at the heart of the Indaba: knowledge grows through sharing. It lives in our communities, our languages, our histories and the work we create together. Ìmọ̀ Wa invites us to see this shared knowledge as the foundation of sovereign intelligence: Africa's ability to understand its own needs, shape technologies on its own terms and decide how its data, ideas and scientific future are governed. As we gather in Lagos, we will explore what it means to build intelligence that is rooted in who we are, serves our communities and remains in our hands. Our knowledge, shared. Our intelligence, sovereign. See you in Lagos! 🌍✨ #DLI2026 #Indaba2026 #Ìmọ̀Wa

@oza_dev_ The country though 👀

@Modibok20855341 @NationMali C’est pas facile de réfléchir, franchement je comprends. On est tous de coeur avec toi

@Le_VTC_Francais @dredayma @Knd_Raph @FerouseNuella @Bmesrimes Ça va aller bro, un jour toi aussi tu trouveras quelqu’un à qui raconter ta vie de merde. Je sais que t’espèrera juste qu’on te demande mais on le fera pas, on a nos propres soucis

@dredayma @Le_VTC_Francais @Knd_Raph @FerouseNuella @Bmesrimes Les clown de Twitter, des fois il faut juste en rire et passer son chemin

@Le_VTC_Francais @dredayma @Knd_Raph @FerouseNuella @Bmesrimes Ouais c’est bien connu que si c’est un vrai Africain il doit faire le taff de ton gouvernement incompétent

We’re pleased to share the video produced for the Western Cape Economy Innovation Awards 2026, highlighting @AIMSacza’s collaborative education model, partnerships and contribution to developing high-impact skills in the Western Cape. Watch here: youtu.be/p5GC2bVwa84

We're delighted to welcome Dr. Catherine Nakalembe @CLNakalembe as a keynote speaker at this year's Deep Learning Indaba in Lagos, Nigeria! Dr Nakalembe is an Assistant Professor of Geospatial AI at the University of Maryland @UofMaryland, founder of The Xylem Lab and The Xylem Institute, and Africa Lead for NASA Harvest. Her keynote is titled "Translational GeoAI Science is An African Imperative." Africa stands at a unique inflection point, home to the world's fastest-growing population, its youngest workforce, and some of its most acute development challenges, yet increasingly rich in satellite imagery, mobile data, and earth observation infrastructure. Artificial Intelligence applied to geospatial data (GeoAI) holds transformative potential for the African continent. From mapping informal settlements and monitoring crop failure to tracking deforestation and issuing early warnings of extreme events, including cyclones and landslides. Yet a persistent and costly gap persists between cutting-edge GeoAI models, largely developed in the Global North, and their deployment in Africa. This presentation introduces Translational GeoAI Science as a systematic discipline designed to bridge this gap on African terms. Dr Nakalembe holds a PhD in Geographical Science from the University of Maryland, an MS in Geography and Environmental Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, and a BSc in Environmental Science from Makerere University, Uganda. Her honours include the Al Sumait Prize, Uganda's Golden Jubilee Medal, the Africa Food Prize, and a GEO Individual Excellence Award. She is a TED Fellow, a National Geographic Explorer, and a MacArthur Foundation/Op-Ed Public Voices Fellow. Welcome on board, Dr Nakalembe!

@kikilegentil Bro t’as à peine un bras 😭

LEYENDA.

@Yash10282 @ESPNFC Didn’t win it

@mamagueye018 @FrenchRapUS Penser que l’école c’est pour gagner de l’argent après. À ton grand âge

@VITO_G_Wagon And this “Abusive” are they with us in this room?

@grokster123 @ylecun @elonmusk Yeah so Yann is still right 😂
