Sergey Brin has been dogfooding<\/a> Google’s AI on his commute.<\/p>\n

The Google cofounder has been back in the thick of the company’s AI development after stepping down<\/a> as president of Alphabet in 2019, returning in recent years<\/a> to work on Gemini.<\/p>\n

At a Stanford University panel<\/a> last week, an audience member asked Brin how he stayed sharp. What podcasts did Brin listen to in the car?<\/p>\n

“I do talk to Gemini Live in the car often,” Brin said. “I just talk to it about stuff on my drive.”<\/p>\n

Brin gave an example of what he asked Gemini Live while driving: “I want to develop a data center, I need how many hundreds of megawatts of this kind of power, that kind of power, how much it’s going to cost.”<\/p>\n

Gemini Live is Google’s voice-enabled AI chatbot. The company first demoed the product in May 2024 at Google I\/O<\/a> and made it freely available in September 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For car-chatting enthusiasts, Brin recommended drivers “shouldn’t do it now, because we have a way better version coming.”<\/p>\n

“The publicly available version right now is not the good version,” he said. “Give me a few weeks to actually ship what I have access to.”<\/p>\n

Brin said that the current available version of Gemini Live is backed by an “ancient model.”<\/p>\n

Google’s recent model updates have made waves in the AI world. In November, the company debuted Gemini 3<\/a>. The model is more visual, Google said, and its “most factual” model to date.<\/p>\n

Gemini 3 was also the first model Google added directly to search<\/a> on day one. Users could immediately access it by clicking “AI Mode,” rather than having to visit a separate app or website.<\/p>\n

The other LLM makers took note. Meta employees now have access<\/a> to Gemini 3 Pro.<\/p>\n

On the panel, Brin acknowledged that his answer to the driving question seemed “kind of self-advertising.” He does listen to some podcasts, he said.<\/p>\n

“The ‘All In’ guys are actually one of my favorites,” he said. Brin has appeared<\/a> on the podcast<\/a> multiple times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sergey Brin has been dogfooding Google’s AI on his commute.
