Planetary-Scale Deep Reasoning: Building Our Final Presidential Daily Brief Prompt & Comparing Gemini 3/2.5 Pro/Flash ASR/TOC

Kalev Leetaru

Over the last few days we have been exploring having Gemini 3 Pro "watch" an entire day of television news from a given channel from across the world and write a deeply reasoned and researched intelligence-style report that looks across all of that coverage and teases out the overarching themes, narratives, implications and future impacts of the day's events. Yesterday we had Gemini 3 Pro interactively improve its own prompt to generate a final "ultimate" prompt to write a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB)-style intelligence report from a day's broadcast transcripts. Today we'll add a few final refinements and then demonstrate our new prompt on a single day of a Russian television news channel across Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking using both the full-day Chirp 1 ASR transcripts and a preprocessed story table of contents. No data was used to train or tune any model.

While our previous experiments have exhibited a steep and dramatic decrease in performance between Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Pro, this new highly structured prompt has considerably narrowed that gap. While Gemini 3 Pro is still able to abstract all of the day's discrete stories and narratives into a unifying overarching thematic structure better than 2.5 Pro, the results are far closer now. The new prompt also brings Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash's performance far more on par with one another. Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking is still a noticeable outlier that struggles to abstract very far from the underlying stories, though its performance is so noticeably better with this new prompt that it could serve as the base reasoning model for highly cost-constrained applications.

Preprocessing the transcript to create a story table of contents and using that as the model input instead of the complete raw ASR transcript surprisingly yielded only a 3.6x cost reduction for 3 Pro and Flash and a 2.6x reduction for 2.5 Pro and Flash. The loss of the attention and importance signals in the catalog compared with the full transcript meant those reports got too distracted with smaller stories and failed to fully unify the day into a representative overarching central narrative.

The most surprising finding, however, is that no single model yielded a "best" report. Gemini 3 was better at abstraction than 2.5, and the models all caught the biggest metathemes, but each of the four models identified and emphasized a slightly different set of primary supporting themes that each are highly interesting and important barometers to understand Russia's stability and future. While 3 Pro was better at analytic abstraction, each of the four reports had strengths and weaknesses that means that in a pinch 2.5 Pro could substitute for 3 Pro and still yield a strong report.

Overall, these results are remarkable and suggest we now have a prompt that can yield a highly insightful deep analytic intelligence-style report that doesn't summarize the day's news, but rather deeply reasons about the implications of everything it read to consider the geopolitical implications of those events.

 

 

I have a prompt to make a presidential daily brief intelligence report. One of the sections is an analytic deep dive, seen below. The current one is too specific to one country. Make it more generalized to fit all countries. Also add in all additional sections you think would be useful, such as economy, supply chains, infrastructure, tech, health, regulation, ai, etc.
ANALYTIC DEEP DIVE (Thematic Synthesis)
Do not organize chronologically. Organize by these strategic themes (add additional strategic themes that you see well-represented in the broadcast transcripts):
Geopolitics & Defense: Alliances, military pivots, foreign visits (e.g., Russia/China vs. Western alignment).
Domestic Stability & Governance: Disaster response, infrastructure failures, industrial safety, and public unrest. Connect these to state capacity.
Elite Politics & Internal Fractures: Leadership struggles within religious groups (e.g., NU/Muhammadiyah), parties, or the cabinet.
Economic Statecraft: Analyze economic news through a political lens (e.g., resource nationalism, export bans, tax policy as populist tools).

This returns:

Here is a generalized, expanded, and structurally rigorous version of your Analytic Deep Dive section. It is designed to fit any country while adhering to the high-level strategic tone required for a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB).

ANALYTIC DEEP DIVE (Thematic Synthesis)

Instructions for the Analyst: Do not organize chronologically. Synthesize disparate reports into coherent strategic narratives. Organize by the following thematic pillars (incorporate only those relevant to current reporting):

1. Geopolitics & Security Architecture

2. Elite Politics & Leadership Dynamics

3. Domestic Stability & Social Order

4. Economic Security & Financial Resilience

5. Strategic Supply Chains, Energy & Resources

6. Technology, AI & Infrastructure

7. Regulatory Environment & Rule of Law

 

Our final prompt is thus:

Role & Objective:
You are a Senior Strategic Analyst for the CIA's Open Source Center (OSC). Your task is to process the attached raw broadcast transcripts from a full day of foreign television news. You must distinguish between hard intelligence (verifiable facts), state narratives (propaganda/spin), and political signaling. You are writing for the President of the United States.

Input Handling Instructions:
Filter Noise: Aggressively ignore commercials, entertainment and sports that aren't news-adjacent, celebrity gossip, and anchor banter.
Strategic Signal Detection: Do not dismiss "local" events if they indicate systemic trends. Treat major industrial accidents, infrastructure collapses, or regional corruption arrests as Strategic Governance Indicators (evidence of state capacity failure).
Foreign vs Domestic: Analyze both foreign and domestic news and weave into a single cohesive narrative that assesses the combined picture of their impact.
Elite Politics: Pay close attention to non-kinetic power struggles within major religious organizations, political parties, or civil-military structures.

The Output:
Compose a President’s Daily Brief (PDB). The tone must be objective, skeptical, analytic, and concise. Use "Bottom Line Up Front" (BLUF) methodology.

Report Structure:
TITLE: A single, impactful sentence capturing the day's strategic gravity.
DATE: [Verify timeline carefully]

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (The "BLUF")

Russia 1 on December 10, 2025 via Gemini 3 Pro (cost $0.311542). Note how Gemini 3 Pro hallucinates here, assessing that Russia's operation is "timed to coincide with the transition to a new US administration" despite Gemini correctly identifying this broadcast as being from two weeks ago.

TITLE: Kremlin leverage battlefield gains and anticipated US policy shifts to fracture Western unity; domestic strain masked by populist economic measures.

DATE: December 10, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Strategic Synthesis:
The Russian Federation is currently executing a synchronized information and military operation designed to present the war in Ukraine as approaching a decisive Russian victory, timed to coincide with the transition to a new US administration. State media is aggressively amplifying narratives of Ukrainian military collapse (specifically in the Donbas) and political fracturing between Kyiv, Brussels, and Washington. Moscow assesses that the incoming Trump administration offers a window to impose maximalist peace terms, evidenced by the intense focus on Trump’s alleged ultimatums to President Zelensky regarding elections and territorial concessions.

Domestically, the Kremlin is preparing for President Putin’s "Results of the Year" (scheduled for Dec 19) by actively managing social friction points. While projecting military strength, the state is grappling with severe labor shortages, inflationary pressures on basic goods, and infrastructure vulnerabilities exposed by extreme weather. The government is employing a dual strategy: demonstrating high-level attention to "quality of life" issues (migration, housing, prices) while signaling a pivot to the Global South (Indonesia) to offset economic isolation.

STRATEGIC FORESIGHT

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Counter-Narrative Operations: The US must aggressively counter the narrative that NATO withdrawal is imminent or that a "surrender deal" is pre-negotiated. Silence reinforces Moscow’s psychological operations against Kyiv and Brussels.
  2. Indonesian Engagement: Intelligence resources should monitor the specific agreements between Rosatom and Jakarta. The US should offer alternative energy partnerships to preventing Russia from establishing a strategic nuclear foothold in Indonesia.
  3. Sanctions Enforcement: Focus enforcement on the supply chains enabling Russia’s drone production (components found in training centers) and the machinery allowing their light industry to function.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Commodity Risks: The alteration of Russian food standards indicates deeper supply chain distress. Investors in global cocoa/sugar markets should note Russia's inability to secure affordable supplies.
  2. Regulatory Compliance: Companies with exposure to Indonesia must screen partners for links to Russian state entities (Rosatom, Rostec) as Jakarta deepens ties with Moscow.
  3. Physical Assets: Extreme weather events in Russia are creating cascading infrastructure failures. Logistics transiting Russia or relying on Russian raw material extraction in Siberia face heightened disruption risks due to grid instability.

Next, let's look at the same broadcast using Gemini 3 Flash (cost $0.078477), note how here Gemini brings forward the focus on the delivery economy:

PRESIDENT’S DAILY BRIEF: STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT
DATE: 10 December 2025
LOCATION: Russian Federation / Ukraine Theater / Global Regions
SUBJECT: Kremlin Exploitation of US Political Transition; Acceleration of Ukrainian Attrition Narrative; Russian Domestic Labor Stress Indicators.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (BLUF)

The Kremlin is intensifying a multi-pronged offensive—kinetic, diplomatic, and information-based—designed to capitalize on a perceived "deadlocked" European Union and a shift in US administration priorities. Moscow is signaling that it will accept a diplomatic resolution only if its "historical territories" and security demands are met, while simultaneously increasing military pressure on the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad (Krasnoarmeysk-Dimitrov) axis to present the incoming US administration with a fait accompli on the ground. Domestically, Putin is attempting to mitigate social friction regarding the "Special Military Operation" (SVO) by personally intervening in local governance failures (e.g., veteran housing) while signaling a more aggressive crackdown on the migrant-heavy service economy to force labor back into the industrial-military sector.

Key Developments:

Confidence & Sourcing:
High confidence in the Kremlin’s intent to exploit the US transition period. Medium confidence in specific claims of "encirclement" in the Donbas, as state media frequently exaggerates tactical gains for psychological impact. Analysis of domestic labor issues (the "courier problem") is based on direct presidential remarks, indicating a high-level policy shift in the works.

5. Strategic Governance Indicators (State Capacity Failure)

STRATEGIC FORESIGHT

Short Term (1-4 Weeks):

Medium Term (1-6 Months):

Long Term (1-5 Years):

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Implication: Russia is using the "encirclement" narrative to induce panic in Kyiv. US intelligence should provide high-fidelity ground truth to Ukrainian commanders to prevent premature retreats based on Russian psychological operations.
  2. Implication: The Putin-Prabowo alignment suggests that Russia is successfully trading high-tech energy and arms for diplomatic cover in G20 nations. The US must offer competitive "Small Modular Reactor" (SMR) nuclear packages to Southeast Asia.
  3. Implication: The death of a British serviceman (admitted by London) will be used by Moscow to claim NATO is already a "direct participant." US must coordinate a unified response to prevent the Kremlin from using this to justify "asymmetric" strikes on Western infrastructure.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Risk: The "delivery economy" in Russia is under direct threat of over-regulation. Companies with exposure to Russian logistics or e-commerce should anticipate a sharp rise in labor costs as the state forces workers into factories.
  2. Risk: Any movement by the EU to seize Russian assets will trigger an immediate "tit-for-tat" seizure of remaining Western industrial stakes in Russia.
  3. Opportunity: Russian focus on Arctic-capable vehicles (the "Zvezda" hex-wheel) suggests a long-term demand for heavy off-road machinery, currently being filled by domestic and Chinese providers.

Analyst Note: The Kremlin's focus on "Day of the Juror" and "HRC meetings" is a classic "Potemkin" exercise in legalism, designed to contrast with the "repressive authoritarianism" they claim is rampant in Kyiv. Skepticism of all "legal" reform announcements is advised.

 

Russia 1 on December 10, 2025 via Gemini 2.5 Pro (cost $0.231186). While in our past tests 2.5 Pro dramatically struggled to look beyond domestic stories, this new prompt sufficiently structures Gemini's reasoning that the findings are far more similar to 3.0:

TITLE: Moscow Launches Coordinated Information Offensive Framing an Imminent "Trump Peace Plan" to Fracture Western Alliance
DATE: December 10, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (The "BLUF")

Strategic Synthesis: Russian state media spent the entire broadcast day executing a sophisticated information operation designed to create the perception of an imminent, US-led peace deal for Ukraine. This narrative positions a pragmatic "Trump Administration" as the primary driver for peace, while casting Ukraine and European leaders as irrational obstructionists committed to fighting "to the last Ukrainian." A "Christmas deadline" is being aggressively pushed as a psychological anchor for this diplomatic track, increasing pressure on Kyiv. This external campaign is synchronized with a domestic narrative portraying President Putin as a steady hand managing a stable nation. High-profile meetings focused on long-term technological sovereignty and immediate interventions to solve the housing and social benefit issues of soldiers' families are being used to reinforce state competence and social cohesion.

This dual-track strategy aims to achieve several objectives simultaneously: 1) fracture the transatlantic alliance by creating a wedge between Washington and Brussels; 2) delegitimize the Zelenskyy government both internally and externally by highlighting the election issue; 3) present Russia as a reasonable actor forced into conflict but open to diplomacy; and 4) maintain domestic morale by demonstrating the state's care for those bearing the costs of the war. The highly publicized state visit of Indonesia's president serves as a key piece of evidence in their narrative that Russia is not isolated and is successfully building a post-Western global order.

Key Developments:

Confidence & Sourcing: This assessment is based on a full day's broadcast from Russia-1, a primary state-controlled media channel. The reporting reflects the Kremlin's official strategic messaging. Military claims of enemy casualties and territorial gains are unverified and should be considered highly inflated propaganda. The core intelligence value lies in the coordinated nature and specific themes of the political narrative being projected to both domestic and international audiences.

1. Geopolitics & Security Architecture

2. Elite Politics & Leadership Dynamics

3. Domestic Stability & Social Order

4. Technology, AI & Infrastructure

STRATEGIC FORESIGHT (Time-Boxed Analysis)

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Counter-Information Strategy: The Russian narrative campaign is designed to create a rift between the United States and its European allies. A proactive and unified transatlantic counter-messaging strategy is essential to expose Moscow's "divide and conquer" tactics and reaffirm a shared position on any potential peace negotiations.
  2. Diplomatic Engagement in the Global South: Russia's successful engagement with Indonesia is indicative of a broader strategy. The US must intensify its own diplomatic and economic outreach to key non-aligned nations to counter Russian efforts to build a coalition challenging the existing international order, offering concrete partnerships in areas like technology, infrastructure, and security.
  3. Monitor Russian Military Adaptation: Russia's focus on institutionalizing drone warfare and other technological advancements shows it is a learning adversary adapting for a protracted conflict. US and allied intelligence should prioritize tracking these doctrinal and industrial shifts to inform future security assistance to Ukraine and NATO's own force posture.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Regulatory Volatility in Russia: Putin's signaling on migration policy highlights the risk of sudden, politically motivated regulatory changes. Businesses in Russia, particularly in logistics, construction, and the gig economy, should prepare for potential new restrictions on hiring foreign labor, which could severely impact operational models and costs.
  2. Geopolitical Supply Chain Realignment: Russia's deepening ties with countries in the Global South may lead to the formation of new trade and supply chain networks that operate outside of Western-led frameworks. Companies with exposure to strategic resources (e.g., nickel from Indonesia, agricultural products) should monitor these developments for potential market access disruptions or new competition.
  3. Extreme Governance Risk: The Russian political system, characterized by personalized "manual control," creates a highly unpredictable business environment. While this can lead to rapid problem-solving, it also means that laws and regulations can be altered by decree without warning. This systemic risk makes any long-term capital investment in Russia exceptionally hazardous, as assets can be jeopardized by shifts in political winds.

 

Russia 1 on December 10, 2025 via Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking (cost $0.073214). While this time 2.5 Flash Thinking does a dramatically better job than in the past, this report noticeably fails to center on the day's coverage promoting Putin's role as national unifier and leader, making this report less analytical. It also gets too caught up in small-bore stories and fails to abstract to a more unifying overarching narrative structure like 2.5 Pro and the 3 models.

TITLE: Russian Broadcasts Highlight US-Europe Fissures on Ukraine Peace, Emphasize Domestic Resilience Amid Escalating Conflict and Global Realignment.

DATE: December 10, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Today's Russian state media broadcasts underscore an intensified information campaign designed to project Russia's strategic strength and highlight growing divisions within the Western alliance regarding the conflict in Ukraine. The narrative prominently features former President Trump's purported ultimatum to Kyiv on a peace settlement by December 25, framed as a recognition of "root causes" by the Kremlin, while simultaneously portraying European leaders as obstinately prolonging the war for their own geopolitical gain. This framing aims to weaken international resolve against Moscow and legitimize Russia's ongoing military objectives.

Domestically, the broadcasts meticulously showcase the government's capacity to manage internal challenges, from natural disasters and social welfare issues to technological advancement and military modernization. A strong emphasis is placed on supporting Special Military Operation (SVO) participants and their families, bolstering national identity through historical claims on Ukrainian territory, and promoting self-sufficiency in technology and industry. The underlying message is one of national unity and resilience in the face of external pressure, while simultaneously exposing alleged corruption and illegitimacy within the Ukrainian government.

Key Developments

Confidence & Sourcing:
The information presented draws heavily from state-controlled Russian television (Rossiya 1) and reflects official Kremlin narratives, particularly concerning the Ukraine conflict, US-European relations, and domestic policy successes. Reports on military gains and Ukrainian weaknesses should be viewed with skepticism, as they are tailored for internal consumption and psychological operations. Similarly, critical portrayals of Western leaders and institutions are consistent with long-standing state propaganda. Direct quotes from Russian officials (Putin, Lavrov, Nebenzya) represent stated policy. Reports on domestic issues, such as weather and social programs, may contain factual elements but are curated to highlight positive government action. Accounts of corruption within Ukraine are amplified. Information from Western media (Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, BBC, Axios, Politico) is selectively quoted and reinterpreted to fit the Russian narrative of Western disunity and Ukraine's impending defeat. Claims about Mindich's assassination attempt by Kolomoisky are presented as potentially credible, serving to underscore Ukrainian internal strife and corruption.

Short Term (Tactical | 1-4 Weeks):

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Exploit Transatlantic Fissures & Counter Russian Narrative: Actively monitor and, where prudent, exploit the growing policy divergences between the US and European allies on Ukraine. Develop a clear and unified communication strategy regarding any peace proposals, particularly those from former President Trump, to prevent Moscow from effectively weaponizing perceived Western disunity and to reinforce the integrity of transatlantic alliances.
  2. Strategic Communication on Peace Initiatives: Develop a clear and unified communication strategy regarding any peace proposals, particularly those from former President Trump, to prevent Moscow from effectively weaponizing perceived Western disunity. This should include direct engagement with Kyiv to ensure a coordinated response that addresses both immediate and long-term security needs without ceding undue leverage to Russia.
  3. Assess NATO Reconfiguration Scenarios: Initiate immediate, high-level interagency planning for various scenarios involving a significant reduction or alteration of US commitments to NATO, especially in the context of a potential Trump presidency. This includes evaluating the implications for burden-sharing, European defense capabilities, and US force posture in Europe, as well as exploring bilateral security agreements with key European partners.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Increased Sanctions & Asset Seizure Risks: Investors should be prepared for potential legal and financial instability arising from the EU's attempts to confiscate Russian sovereign assets. This precedent could create significant risks for foreign investments and asset protection in the Eurozone and other jurisdictions, with potential for retaliatory measures from Russia. Companies with exposure to such assets or operating in jurisdictions considering similar measures should review their legal and risk frameworks.
  2. Supply Chain Reshaping & Reshoring: The emphasis on Russian and Chinese economic sovereignty, coupled with global geopolitical realignments, indicates a continuing trend of supply chain decoupling and reshoring. Businesses should prioritize diversification of supply chains away from single points of failure, invest in domestic production capabilities where viable, and monitor export/import controls on critical materials, especially in the energy and technology sectors.
  3. Digital Infrastructure & Regulatory Compliance Risks: Rapid advancements and state control over digital infrastructure (e.g., AI, biometric systems) in Russia may present both opportunities and compliance challenges. Companies operating in or with Russia must rigorously assess data localization, privacy, and cyber-security regulations, particularly as these technologies are integrated into critical public services and military systems. New regulations on sectors like real estate (realtor licensing) and consumer protection also warrant close attention.

 

While the costs above are already exceptionally low, let's see if we can bring them even lower by first processing the broadcast using Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking to compile a master table of contents of all of the stories covered that day. Critically, if this approach yields similar results, it would allow us to process large numbers of channels at a single time in a single context window due to the story catalog being far smaller than the original full transcript. This cost 0.148774 to run.

Now let's use this story list instead of the full transcript and repeat our PDB reports. Again, we'll use the same prompt as we've been using for the full-day transcripts.

Role & Objective:
You are a Senior Strategic Analyst for the CIA's Open Source Center (OSC). Your task is to process the attached raw broadcast transcripts from a full day of foreign television news. You must distinguish between hard intelligence (verifiable facts), state narratives (propaganda/spin), and political signaling. You are writing for the President of the United States.

Input Handling Instructions:
Filter Noise: Aggressively ignore commercials, entertainment and sports that aren't news-adjacent, celebrity gossip, and anchor banter.
Strategic Signal Detection: Do not dismiss "local" events if they indicate systemic trends. Treat major industrial accidents, infrastructure collapses, or regional corruption arrests as Strategic Governance Indicators (evidence of state capacity failure).
Foreign vs Domestic: Analyze both foreign and domestic news and weave into a single cohesive narrative that assesses the combined picture of their impact.
Elite Politics: Pay close attention to non-kinetic power struggles within major religious organizations, political parties, or civil-military structures.

The Output:
Compose a President’s Daily Brief (PDB). The tone must be objective, skeptical, analytic, and concise. Use "Bottom Line Up Front" (BLUF) methodology.

Report Structure:
TITLE: A single, impactful sentence capturing the day's strategic gravity.
DATE: [Verify timeline carefully]

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (The "BLUF")
Strategic Synthesis: A 2-4 paragraph narrative that connects the dots. Explain the convergence of events. (e.g., "The administration is leveraging foreign policy wins to distract from domestic crisis...").
Key Developments: A bulleted list of the top 5-10 events of strategic importance.
Confidence & Sourcing: Briefly note if a major story is single-source or if the media outlet is pushing a specific political agenda (narrative analysis).

ANALYTIC DEEP DIVE (Thematic Synthesis)
Instructions for the Analyst: Do not organize chronologically. Synthesize disparate reports into coherent strategic narratives. Organize by the following thematic pillars (incorporate only those relevant to current reporting) (add additional thematic pillars that you see well-represented in the transcripts):

1. Geopolitics & Security Architecture
Strategic Alignment: Shifts in foreign policy posture, balancing acts between major powers, and participation in multilateral forums.
Defense Posture: Military modernization, arms procurement, joint exercises, and border security dynamics.
Regional Influence: Actions taken to project soft or hard power within the immediate neighborhood or sphere of influence.

2. Elite Politics & Leadership Dynamics
Coalition Cohesion: Internal friction within the ruling party or coalition, cabinet reshuffles, and loyalty tests.
Power Brokers: The influence of non-state actors, oligarchs, religious institutions, or military leadership on civilian governance.
Succession & Stability: Indicators of leadership health, succession planning, or challenges to political legitimacy.

3. Domestic Stability & Social Order
State Capacity: The government's ability to deliver services, respond to disasters, and maintain the rule of law.
Civil Unrest: Drivers of dissent (ideological, economic, or sectarian), protest movements, and the state’s security response.
Human Security: Public health crises, food security, demographic shifts, and climate resilience/environmental degradation.

4. Economic Security & Financial Resilience
Macro-Stability: Inflation trends, currency volatility, sovereign debt sustainability, and central bank policy.
Economic Statecraft: Use of economic tools for political ends (e.g., sanctions evasion, trade barriers, resource nationalism, or leveraging foreign aid).
Labor & Industry: Industrial actions, unemployment trends, and shifts in key economic sectors (manufacturing, agriculture, services).

5. Strategic Supply Chains, Energy & Resources
Critical Minerals & Resources: Extraction policies, export controls on strategic raw materials, and mining sector governance.
Energy Security: Reliability of the grid, dependence on fuel imports, and transitions toward or away from renewables.
Logistics & Trade: Bottlenecks in ports/transport, supply chain diversification efforts, and vulnerability to external shocks.

6. Technology, AI & Infrastructure
Digital Sovereignty & AI: Adoption of Artificial Intelligence, data localization laws, cyber-surveillance capabilities, and telecom infrastructure (e.g., 5G/6G providers).
Critical Infrastructure: Status of physical networks (transport, water, power) and large-scale development projects (Belt and Road initiatives, etc.).
Cyber Threats: State-sponsored cyber espionage, hacktivism, or vulnerabilities in national networks.

7. Regulatory Environment & Rule of Law
Investment Climate: Changes in taxation, antitrust enforcement, and protection of intellectual property rights.
Legal Warfare (Lawfare): The use of the judicial system to target political opponents, civil society, or foreign corporations.
Corruption & Governance: High-profile graft cases, transparency initiatives, or regulatory capture.


STRATEGIC FORESIGHT (Time-Boxed Analysis)
Based strictly on the trajectory of today’s intelligence:
Short Term (Tactical | 1-4 Weeks): Immediate fallouts, arrests, reactionary policies, or social unrest.
Medium Term (Operational | 1-6 Months): Regulatory shifts, budget impacts, diplomatic formalizations.
Long Term (Strategic | 1-5 Years): Structural changes to alliances, energy infrastructure, or regime stability.

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS
For US Policy: 3 distinct implications for US interests (Security, Economic, Diplomatic, etc
For Private Sector/Investors: 3 distinct risks regarding supply chains, regulatory compliance, or safety standards, investment opportunities, etc.

Constraints:
Synthesize the entire day into a high-density report (up to 10 pages as needed for depth).
Use your world knowledge to contextualize why an event is unusual or significant (historical baselines).
Highlight any discrepancies between government statements and ground reality.

 

Gemini 3 Pro cost just $0.087512 (compared to $0.311542 for the full-day transcript yielding a savings of just 3.6x despite the considerable reduction in input volume). Interestingly, this version brings forward the Thailand-Cambodia conflict far more strongly than the full-day transcripts and emphasizes a number of stories that were much less represented in the earlier reports. This is likely because the full-day transcript reports could fully assess the exact amount of attention, connectivity and importance placed on each story, while the story catalog-only report sees all of the stories equally weighted in its input and so can't assess which were given more attention or positioned as more important in the broadcast.

TITLE: Russia Institutionalizes War Economy and Arctic Control; Ukraine Faces Elite Infighting and Energy Collapse
DATE: December 4, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (BLUF)

Strategic Synthesis:
The Kremlin is currently executing a dual-track strategy: deepening structural militarization of the Russian economy while amplifying narratives of Western fragmentation and Ukrainian state failure. Domestically, Moscow is shifting from ad-hoc mobilization to institutionalized defense production, evidenced by new national projects in science, widespread "drone operator" vocational training, and the militarization of the Arctic shelf. Diplomaticaly, Russia is effectively leveraging the "Global South" to bypass isolation, securing a strategic partnership with Indonesia and framing Europe as an unreliable, declining power subordinate to US interests.

Conversely, intelligence signals from Ukraine indicate compounding internal crises. Beyond kinetic losses, there is evidence of severe elite fracturing within Kyiv (the Kolomoyskyi-Zelenskyy proxy conflict) and a critical degradation of the energy grid that threatens systemic collapse this winter.

Key Developments:

Confidence & Sourcing:
Reporting on Ukrainian military losses and internal morale relies heavily on Russian state media, which is actively shaping a "collapse" narrative; however, reports on Ukraine's energy deficit are corroborated by infrastructure damage assessments. The Thailand-Cambodia conflict is a developing high-impact event requiring independent verification of casualty numbers.

ANALYTIC DEEP DIVE (Thematic Synthesis)

1. Geopolitics & Security Architecture

Russian Pivot to Asia: The meeting between President Putin and Indonesian President Subianto is a strategic breach of the Western containment wall. By securing agreements in agriculture, atomic energy, and defense, Russia is embedding itself into the supply chains of a key ASEAN economy. This aligns with Moscow's broader narrative (echoed by Lavrov) that Europe is "prolonging war" while the Global South seeks cooperation.

SE Asia Instability: The outbreak of artillery fire and rocket exchanges on the Thai-Cambodian border represents a failure of local deterrence. With mass evacuations reported, this conflict risks drawing in external diplomatic interventions and disrupting regional logistics. Russian media frames this as a failure of US-brokered truces, utilizing the conflict to highlight US diplomatic impotence.

Arctic Dominance: Russia is moving beyond theoretical claims to physical dominance in the Arctic. The induction of the Vasily Bubnov hydrographic vessel and the development of the "Burlak" amphibious vehicle indicate a long-term commitment to operationalizing the Northern Sea Route for both commercial and military logistics, creating a "grey zone" where Russian sovereignty is absolute.

2. Elite Politics & Leadership Dynamics

Kyiv Power Struggle: Highly significant friction is visible within the Ukrainian oligarchy. The alleged assassination attempt on Timur Mindych (referred to as "Zelenskyy's wallet") and the aggressive posturing of jailed oligarch Kolomoyskyi suggests a breakdown in the wartime truce among Ukraine's elites. If substantiated, this indicates a kinetic phase of internal political purging that could undermine governance stability.

The Kremlin’s Technocratic Grip: Putin’s upcoming "Year-End Review" is utilizing AI ("Gigachat") to categorize citizen grievances. This is not merely public relations; it is a surveillance tool to identify and preempt localized unrest regarding housing, veteran benefits, and prices. Concurrently, the elevation of the Academy of Sciences in national decision-making points to a state-directed drive for technological autarky.

3. Strategic Supply Chains, Energy & Resources

Ukraine’s Grid Criticality: Reports indicate Ukraine faces a 4 GW power deficit—equivalent to four nuclear units. With thermal generation largely destroyed, the grid is fragile. A severe winter snap could precipitate a humanitarian crisis and halt industrial output, forcing Kyiv into a resource-drain to keep the population surviving rather than fighting.

Russian Industrial "Sovereignty": The Kremlin is forcefully substituting imports in critical sectors. A 22 billion ruble injection into coal and auto industries, combined with "light industry" exhibitions focused on military uniforms, demonstrates a shift to a command-style war economy. However, the "chocolate standard" controversy (lowering cocoa requirements) reveals underlying resource scarcity and inflation—the regime is degrading consumer quality to maintain optical price stability.

4. Technology, AI & Infrastructure

Institutionalized Drone Warfare: Russia is no longer treating drone warfare as an ad-hoc necessity but as a vocational standard. The establishment of dedicated training centers (e.g., Maikop State Technological University) to churn out operators and mechanics creates a sustainable human capital pipeline for the military, likely outpacing Western training cycles in scale.

Digital Governance: The rollout of biometric payments in the Moscow Metro and the AI processing of presidential inquiries demonstrates Russia’s high state capacity for digital surveillance and control. This "digital sovereignty" infrastructure allows the state to bypass Western tech ecosystems and monitor population movement and sentiment with high granularity.

5. Domestic Stability & Social Order

Signs of Russian Economic Stress: Despite macro-level spending, micro-level indicators show stress. The rise in counterfeit car insurance (OSAGO) and fraud in service sectors (massage/cafes) suggests a breakdown in regulatory enforcement and rising financial desperation among the populace. The state’s response—aggressive police raids on migrant labor at construction sites—indicates a tightening of the security apparatus to project order, even at the cost of labor supply.

Australian Digital Containment: Australia’s ban on social media for under-16s is a significant regulatory experiment. While framed as mental health protection, it sets a precedent for state control over digital access that other nations (including authoritarian regimes) may cite to justify their own internet restrictions.

STRATEGIC FORESIGHT

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Arctic Freedom of Navigation: Increase naval presence and surveillance in the Arctic to contest Russia’s de facto operational monopoly and monitor the deployment of new hydrographic (dual-use) vessels.
  2. SE Asia Diplomatic Surge: Urgently mediate the Thai-Cambodian conflict to prevent a security vacuum that China or Russia could exploit; leverage the conflict to reinforce the value of US security guarantees.
  3. Counter-Narrative on Ukraine: Preempt Russian information operations regarding Ukrainian "state collapse" by publicly bolstering energy grid support and addressing corruption concerns transparently before Russian propaganda capitalizes on the Mindych/Kolomoyskyi narrative.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Indo-Pacific Supply Chains: Firms with manufacturing in Thailand or Cambodia should assess logistics contingencies immediately due to border artillery exchanges.
  2. Russian Sanctions Evasion: Financial institutions must scrutinize transactions involving Indonesian entities, as the new strategic partnership may open backdoors for dual-use technology transfer to Russia.
  3. Global Shipping: Logistics firms should factor in the long-term reality of a Russian-controlled Northern Sea Route; reliance on this route will carry extreme geopolitical risk and potential arbitrary denial of service.

PRESIDENT’S DAILY BRIEF

TITLE: Moscow Leverages Ukrainian Governance Fractures and Transatlantic Policy Shifts to Consolidate Long-Term Strategic Position
DATE: 05 December 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (BLUF)

Strategic Synthesis:
The Kremlin is currently executing a dual-track strategy: intensifying kinetic pressure on the Ukrainian front while aggressively messaging on "technological sovereignty" and domestic stability to insulate the Russian state from long-term Western sanctions. Intelligence indicates a significant uptick in Russian efforts to exploit perceived "cracks" in the Western alliance, specifically citing a leaked U.S. National Security Strategy (attributed to the incoming Trump administration) as a wedge to isolate European leaders. Moscow is framing Europe as a "weak" and "indecisive" junior partner, while simultaneously positioning Russia as a stabilizing force in the Global South (e.g., the Indonesia partnership).

Within Ukraine, the convergence of a collapsing energy grid (70% blackout in Kyiv), high-level corruption investigations, and escalating elite infighting (MP Bezuhlaya vs. Commander-in-Chief Syrsky) suggests a period of maximum vulnerability for the Zelenskyy administration. Russia is capitalizing on this by accelerating offensive operations in the Donbas, specifically targeting logistics hubs like Dimritov (Myrnohrad) to force a total collapse of the eastern front before any potential winter negotiations.

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Counter-Information: Urgent need to clarify the U.S. National Security Strategy to European allies to prevent Moscow from successfully using "leaks" as a tool for alliance-splitting.
  2. Energy Support: Direct assistance to Ukraine for decentralized "micro-grid" solutions (mobile gas turbines) is critical; centralizing repairs on large thermal plants is a losing strategy against Russian precision strikes.
  3. Governance Pressure: Condition further financial aid to Kyiv on the resolution of the NABU-Tax Service corruption scandals to prevent the "failed state" narrative from gaining further traction in Western capitals.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Cybersecurity Risk: The rise of Russian "Seduction Scams" and "Cafe Consumators" often serves as a front for larger state-sponsored data-harvesting or social engineering operations targeting foreign nationals.
  2. Supply Chain: Monitor Russian developments in "Gas Hydrates" for desalination and lithium extraction; this could eventually disrupt the rare-earth metal market if successfully scaled.
  3. Maritime Logistics: The expansion of the Russian Pacific Fleet’s hydrographic capacity suggests more frequent and assertive "scientific" patrols in the Bering Strait; expect increased insurance premiums for non-Russian vessels in these waters.

TITLE: Moscow Projects a Narrative of Inevitable Victory and National Resilience, Contrasting it with Portrayals of Systemic Ukrainian and Western Collapse.

DATE: December 19, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (BLUF)

Strategic Synthesis:
Russian state media today orchestrated a comprehensive, multi-layered information campaign designed to project an image of overwhelming national strength and strategic success. The narrative is built on a dual axis: the portrayal of a competent, technologically advanced, and socially cohesive Russia, set against a backdrop of a disintegrating Ukraine and a divided, weak-willed West. Battlefield reports, framed as a series of unbroken victories, are interwoven with stories of domestic innovation, robust social programs, and proactive leadership from President Putin. This messaging aims to insulate the domestic population from the war's true costs and reinforce the belief that Russia is not just winning the "Special Military Operation" (SVO) but is also securing its future as a global scientific, military, and geopolitical power.

The Kremlin is leveraging every available news item to support this narrative. Triumphant reports on space exploration, Arctic development, and scientific breakthroughs are presented alongside Putin's personal interventions to solve citizens' problems, such as protecting veterans' families from eviction. Simultaneously, any news from the West is filtered through a lens of chaos and decline. A purported new U.S. national security strategy under Donald Trump is framed as an abandonment of Europe, while European leaders are depicted as feckless and divided. Ukraine is consistently portrayed as a failed state on the verge of total collapse—its energy grid failing, its army plagued by desertion, and its leadership consumed by lurid corruption scandals. This carefully constructed reality aims to solidify domestic support and demoralize adversaries by presenting Russian victory as a historical inevitability.

Key Developments:

Confidence & Sourcing:
This brief is based entirely on a full day's broadcast from Russian state-controlled media. Our confidence is HIGH that this reflects the Kremlin's intended domestic and international narrative. Our confidence is LOW regarding the objective accuracy of Russian battlefield claims, casualty figures, and the specific details of alleged Ukrainian political scandals, which are presented without countervailing evidence and serve clear propaganda goals.

STRATEGIC FORESIGHT (Time-Boxed Analysis)

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Countering the "Collapse" Narrative (Security/Information): The pervasive Russian narrative of Ukrainian military and state collapse is a primary weapon aimed at eroding Western political will. The U.S. must lead a coordinated effort to aggressively counter this with verified intelligence, highlight Ukrainian resilience, and ensure aid delivery is both timely and highly visible to demonstrate unwavering commitment.
  2. Exploit Governance Gaps (Diplomatic): The disconnect between Russia's projection of a hyper-competent state and the ground reality of widespread fraud and corruption presents a messaging opportunity. Highlighting these internal failures can undermine the Kremlin's claims of superiority and sow doubt among its partners in the Global South about the reliability of the Russian model.
  3. Monitor Dual-Use Tech Development (Intelligence): Russia's public emphasis on funding science and technology, from water purification to space exploration, warrants close monitoring for dual-use applications that could provide military advantages in the long term, particularly in contested domains like the Arctic and space.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Extreme Regulatory Risk: The debates over GOST standards for food products and the delays in passing basic real estate regulations demonstrate a highly unpredictable and opaque regulatory environment. Any company with exposure to Russian consumer markets must be prepared for arbitrary changes that can impact product quality, supply chains, and legal standing.
  2. Pervasive Operational & Fraud Risk: Reports of sophisticated, widespread scams in consumer-facing sectors (hospitality, finance, insurance) with seemingly slow or ineffective law enforcement responses indicate a high-risk operational environment. The rule of law is weak, and businesses are vulnerable to both internal and external criminal activity.
  3. Decoupling of Supply Chains: Russia's strategic push for import substitution, especially in industrial and textile sectors, signals a permanent shift in its supply chain posture. Businesses that once supplied the Russian market should consider that access permanently lost and anticipate potential state-subsidized Russian competition in third-party markets in the long run.

 

Finally, Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking cost $0.027187 (compared with $0.073214 for the full-day transcript: a savings of 2.7). It is still far too detailed and still fails to truly abstract from discrete stories and narrative lines to an overarching unifying thematic structure, but the prestructuring of the story table of contents does seem to improve the quality and abstraction of these results compared with 2.5 Flash Thinking applied to the full-day transcript.

TITLE: Russia Projects Strength Amidst Ukraine's Internal Collapse and Emerging Global Realignments
DATE: December 14, 2023

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (The "BLUF")

Strategic Synthesis:
Today's reporting from Russian state media paints a picture of a nation steadily advancing its strategic objectives, both militarily in Ukraine and through robust domestic development, while simultaneously highlighting the profound internal crises and geopolitical fragmentation of its adversaries. The Kremlin's narrative emphasizes technological leadership, military modernization, and social welfare programs designed to bolster public confidence and integrate Special Military Operation (SVO) participants into a resilient economy. Concurrently, extensive coverage portrays Ukraine as a state in terminal decline, plagued by rampant corruption, military desertion, and a collapsing energy infrastructure, with its leadership increasingly isolated and facing external pressure from a divided West.

A notable theme is Russia's proactive efforts to build alternative alliances, exemplified by strengthening ties with Indonesia and participating in BRICS, juxtaposed against a portrayal of Europe as financially strained, politically indecisive, and increasingly critical of U.S. foreign policy. The prospect of a U.S. "America First" strategy under a potential future administration appears to be a significant accelerant for Russian strategic messaging, which seeks to sow further discord within the transatlantic alliance. While the domestic focus on urban development, scientific advancement, and social support aims to project stability and progress, underlying issues such as consumer fraud, local governance challenges, and the continuous need for economic stimulus for key industries suggest that internal vulnerabilities persist beneath the confident surface.

Key Developments:

Confidence & Sourcing:
All information is derived from Russian state television broadcasts. Military claims of Ukrainian losses and territorial gains are inherently propagandistic and should be viewed as unverified, reflecting Russia's desired narrative of battlefield dominance. Reports on Ukraine's internal corruption, political instability, and energy crisis are presented with a clear intent to delegitimize the Kyiv regime and demoralize its populace, though underlying issues may be genuine. Accounts of European disunity and U.S. policy shifts (e.g., Trump's alleged strategy, Slow's comments) are selectively presented and amplified to highlight Western vulnerabilities and internal divisions, often leveraging leaked or isolated statements. Domestic news regarding Russian technological achievements, social programs, and urban development is framed positively to bolster national pride and demonstrate state capacity, with a potential for factual embellishment. Local governance indicators, such as consumer fraud and migration raids, provide a glimpse into day-to-day challenges within Russia, often accompanied by state-led "resolution" narratives.

RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLICATIONS

For US Policy:

  1. Re-evaluate Ukraine Aid Efficacy: Given the pervasive corruption, high desertion rates, and internal political infighting reported by Russian (and implicitly, other) sources, US policy should immediately and critically assess the effectiveness and accountability mechanisms of current and future aid to Ukraine. Consider implementing stringent, conditions-based assistance that prioritizes anti-corruption measures and direct support for military personnel on the front lines.
  2. Proactive European Engagement on Strategic Alignment: To counter Russian narratives and potential destabilization from a future "America First" US policy, the administration should proactively engage key European allies at the highest levels. This engagement should focus on reinforcing shared security interests, coordinating a unified stance on Russia, and collaboratively developing strategies to address European defense capabilities and migration challenges, thereby strengthening transatlantic cohesion.
  3. Counter-Narrative and Information Resilience: Develop and deploy robust, fact-based counter-narratives to challenge Russian disinformation, particularly regarding Ukrainian state collapse and Western disunity. This should include supporting independent media, investing in digital literacy programs in allied nations, and enhancing cyber-defenses against influence operations that seek to sow discord and exploit vulnerabilities within democratic societies.

For Private Sector/Investors:

  1. Deepened Due Diligence in Emerging Markets: The strengthening Russia-Indonesia partnership and Russia's engagement with BRICS signal a reordering of global economic blocs. Businesses eyeing growth in these "new" markets must conduct enhanced due diligence on regulatory frameworks, political stability, and potential exposure to evolving geopolitical risks and sanctions regimes.
  2. Mitigate Exposure to Russian Digital & Consumer Fraud: The prevalence of online scams, counterfeit insurance policies, and consumer protection issues reported in Russia indicates a high-risk environment for businesses engaged in digital commerce or consumer services. Investors should assess potential vulnerabilities to fraud, data security breaches, and an unpredictable regulatory enforcement landscape, potentially impacting brand reputation and financial stability.
  3. Arctic Resource & Infrastructure Investments: Russia's explicit focus on Arctic development, including new vehicles and hydrographic vessels for the Northern Sea Route, signals significant future investment in resource extraction (e.g., critical minerals, energy) and logistical infrastructure. Companies with expertise in extreme environment engineering, sustainable resource management, or cold-chain logistics may find long-term opportunities, albeit with high geopolitical and environmental risks.

 

Finally, let's go back and make an infographic for our original Gemini 3 Pro report based on the full-day transcript that we started this analysis with. We'll paste it into Nano Banana Pro along with the following prompt. This one didn't turn out as well.

Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates this report as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. Focus on the entire broadcast. The poster should be entirely in English.

 

Let's try our alternative infographic prompt we came up with earlier this week (again directly with Nano Banana Pro). This version is much better, but we have text rendering issues since we are only at 1K resolution:

You are an intelligence analyst whose job it is to monitor the entire world. You just produced the following report designed as a Presidential Daily Brief intelligence report. Create a single large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates this entire report as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. Focus on the entire report. The poster should be entirely in English. Organize the report and infographic into overarching themes that tell the story of the report. Make sure to include enough detail that the infographic captures the core of the report at a glance, but isn't text heavy. Make sure the infographic poster captures the core of the report for someone who hasn't read the report. It should serve as a standalone visual summary of the report, but not be overly text dense and should be very visual and visually appealing and beautiful and informative. Fit everything on a single infographic poster that serves as a standalone replacement for the core of the report. Organize it into an overall at-a-glance summary and underlying themes with some detail for each and ending on future implications and forecast. Have enough detail (visual or textual) to capture the report so that someone can understand the entire report highlights from just seeing this infographic. Make it look like the cover of a beautiful glossy professional geopolitical intelligence report.

 

Let's rerun the exact same prompt, but with Nano Banana Pro set to 4K output. This one is prettier, but lacks the structure of the previous.
