Is the interactive python sandbox incompatible with thinking models? It seems like I can only get the interactive sandbox by using 2.0 flash, not 2.0 flash thinking or 2.5 pro.

That's a good question! It's not incompatible, it's just a matter of getting the flow right. I can't comment too much on that process but I'm excited for the possibilities there.

Does anyone at Google care that you're trying to replace Assistant with this in the next few months and it can't set a timer yet? (I mean it will tell you it's set a timer but it doesn't talk to the native clock app so nothing ever goes off if you navigate away from the window.)

I doubt the guy working on the code sandbox can do anything about the overall resource allocation towards ensuring all legacy assistant features still work as well as they used to. That being said, I was trying to navigate out of an unexpected construction zone and asked google to navigate me home, and it repeatedly tried to open the map on my watch and lock my phone screen. I had to pull over and use my thumbs to start navigation the old fashioned way.

I'm on the Google side of the equation. I think the title is a bit sensationalized, but that's the author's prerogative.

> However, the build pipeline for compiling the sandbox binary included an automated step that adds security proto files to a binary whenever it detects that the binary might need them to enforce internal rules. In this particular case, that step wasn’t necessary, resulting in the unintended inclusion of highly confidential internal protos in the wild ! Protobufs aren't really these super secret hyper-proprietary thi…

Yes, there's a lot of internal protos from Google that are leaked on the internet. If I recall correctly, it was a hacker News comment that linked to it. Edit: I don't know why the parent comment was flagged. It is entirely accurate.

You are probably thinking of the Google search ranking leak. That leak was the leak of the generated documentation from proto files.
