Summary: It looks like an accidental leak of Gemini 3's size. Reuters was reporting on Apple's Siri upgrade—finally getting a proper AI overhaul in March 2026 after 14 years of being essentially useless—and casually mentioned they're using a 1.2 trillion parameter model from Google. Which, oops, nobody was supposed to know that. It's smaller than the estimated size of GPT-5 at 1.7 trillion parameters, but parameters aren't everything. Google could've made it more efficient. Either way, it's substantially bigger than most open source models out there, so Gemini 3 Pro is shaping up to be quite beefy.

I also touched on Microsoft's frankly absurd plans to launch data centres into space, and China's new Iron robot that was unveiled yesterday—genuinely impressive kit and surprisingly affordable.

But the real meat of today was meant to be about context engineering, this shift from us telling AI what to do via prompts to AI just working it out for itself based on the tools it has access to. The models are already smart enough; we're just not sophisticated enough in how we're using them yet. I'll dive deeper into that tomorrow though, because I accidentally broke my YouTube stream trying to demo Google AI Studio's vibe coding tool live. Typical.
