# Google Research: what I've logged

> Google Research comes up in 3 posts of my AI log, from November 2025 to August 2026, and each item below links to the primary source. The releases I logged include TimesFM-3, TurboQuant and Introducing Nested Learning, filed under frontier, open weights and science.

## Items

1. **TimesFM-3** (Google Research, 31 Aug 2026): A 330M-parameter zero-shot forecasting model that now handles several targets and covariates at once, relevant to demand and budget forecasting. [Primary source](https://research.google/blog/timesfm-3-a-zero-shot-foundation-model-for-multivariate-forecasting/) · [Post](https://heyaliasif.com/ai/2026-08-31-week-in-ai#item-8)
2. **TurboQuant** (Google Research, 23 Mar 2026): A compression method for the memory that models use while generating, aimed at cutting the cost of long context. [Primary source](https://research.google/blog/turboquant-redefining-ai-efficiency-with-extreme-compression/) · [Post](https://heyaliasif.com/ai/2026-03-23-week-in-ai#item-6)
3. **Towards a future space-based, scalable AI infrastructure** (Google Research, 3 Nov 2025): Project Suncatcher studies solar-powered satellites carrying TPUs and linked by optical connections.
