Interesting new Google paper released today:“Measuring the environmental impact of delivering AI at Google Scale”https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/measuring_the_environmental_impact_of_delivering_ai_at_google_scale.pdfApparently, “the median energy consumption for a Gemini Apps text prompt in May 2025 is 0.24 Wh.”, which is down 33x from May 2024.This is equivalent to watching TV for a few seconds.(The paper does not include model training, only model usage.)

Unprecedented volumes of Earth observation data are continually collected around the world, but high- quality labels remain scarce given the effort required to make physical measurements and observations. This has led to considerable investment in bespoke modeling efforts translating sparse labels into maps. Here we introduce AlphaEarth Foundations, an embedding field model yielding a highly general, geospatial representation that assimilates spatial, temporal, and measurement contexts across multiple sources, enabling accurate and efficient production of maps and monitoring systems from local to global scales. The embeddings generated by AlphaEarth Foundations are the only to consistently outperform all previous featurization approaches tested …

I've read a lot of system prompts and the Spark one is genuinely one of the most interesting I've seen yet - I learned a bunch of things about web design including typography and color theory as a side-effect of reading through the prompt! https://github.com/simonw/system-exploration-g/blob/main/src/system_prompt.md

@keir @neilsardesai Oh, but in this example it isn’t covering content… it is actually FAKING content, to make people think there is more there when it isn’t or something. It’s MIRRORING the full complete image beside it to create some color blur that could make something much less readable.
