The First Photographs of Snowflakes Discover the Groundbreaking Microphotography
What kind of a blighted society turns the word “snowflake” into an insult?, I sometimes catch myself thinking, but then again, I’ve never understood why “treehugger” should offend.

T5Gemma 2: The next generation of encoder-decoder models
T5Gemma 2 is the next evolution of our encoder-decoder family based on Gemma 3, featuring the first multi-modal and long-context encoder-decoder models. Unlike T5Gemma, T5Gemma 2 adopts tied word embeddings (over encoder and decoder) and merged decoder self- and cross-attention to save model parameters. It offers compact pre-trained models at sizes of 270M-270M (~370M total, […]
