Google DeepMind releases Gemini Robotics 2.5 for real-world robots
DeepMind says its new vision-language-action model, built with Gemini 4 Argon, was tested on more than 200 tasks, finishes tasks 20% to 30% faster than the previous version and packed automotive parts with a 96% success rate in proof-of-concept tests at Mercedes-Benz.
