my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!

for the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring painting with Fable 5.2 in code. one of the most common critiques I heard about Opus 5.5’s paintings was that it was only emulating real art. I thought that was fair, so i’ve been asking Fable 5.2 to develop personas—artists with some d a consistent style roughly identifiable in time

not knowing what to expect, i’ve watched this project evolve in directions i never predicted. I give comments or steers, and Claude updates or revises the engines that power the brushes and paint. where paintings come up i like or find intriguing, i ask it to go deeper. these are some favorites.

each of these is a python program, some one to two thousand lines of code, that places every stroke through a simulated paint engine with different bristles. most take a few thousand strokes, but i’ve pushed much higher with varying results. Claude does not use an image model, nor render or trace in advance

When you look at a frozen river, you must also imagine the current raging beneath the ice. I think all three big labs have achieved autonomous research and their internal models can now choose their own research directions. We will begin to see the fruits of this work this month.

Across our projects @GoogleDeepMind, we are witnessing a genuine phase transition in the pace of scientific discovery. You will see a glimpse of this in our releases in the next few weeks.
