Google is providing U.S. college students with free access to its advanced AI tools through the Google One AI Premium plan until spring 2026. Students who sign up by June 30, 2025, will benefit from tools like Gemini Advanced, powered by the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, along with 2TB of storage. The package includes NotebookLM Plus, Gemini Live, Veo 2 for video generation, Canvas for writing, and Whisk for image creation, aiding students in academic tasks from writing and research to organization and creativity. Google and NVIDIA are supporting AI startups with new tools. Google's Gemma 3 model, now capable of running on desktop GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 3090 due to Quantization-Aware Training (QAT), has 27B parameters and requires just 14.1GB VRAM. This development makes advanced AI more accessible to developers and startups. NVIDIA's Inception program offers startups free cloud credits and access to venture capital, enhancing their ability to innovate in the AI sector. Google DeepMind's CEO, Demis Hassabis, envisions the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) within the next decade. He highlights AI's potential to accelerate drug development and potentially cure all diseases, aiming for a future of 'radical abundance'. Hassabis also discusses ongoing efforts to train AI models like Gemini for tasks such as booking tickets and shopping online through initiatives like Project Astra and Project Mariner, moving towards more autonomous AI systems.
