- Google DeepMind has released Gemini Robotics 2.
- The quoted post says robot policies are stuck at a Pareto frontier between general-purpose ability, whole-body control, and dexterity, and claims the new system pushes on all three.
- The team frames the release as a step toward Physical AGI, with the playful example: “Ok Google, do my dishes.”
- The attached image is a release graphic for the model, emphasizing the robotics focus rather than text-only AI.
