Gemini

Google’s AI-detector for images and videos, SynthID, is getting a full release today. It will work for more than just content developed with Google’s AI models and initial partners.

Google today announced an “experimental gaming platform” called Playground that lets you “create, play, and share” browser-based games. The goal is to “make game creation more approachable and ignite everyday creativity.”

Google today announced its new EmbeddingGemma 2 model that can be used to “organize, search, and connect information directly on consumer hardware.” To show off its potential, Google created an AI Edge Foresight Mac app for “intelligent notetaking.”

Following the compute-based usage change in May, Google will soon introduce limits on which Gemini models free users and AI Plus subscribers can access.

The promise of Gemini for Android Auto is huge, as the AI assistant is theoretically more capable than Assistant was. But, as it’s now becoming the only option, a weird issue is leaving Gemini for Android Auto perhaps less than useless, as it just gives up on answers from drivers.

Google has introduced a “Map” tool to aid your location-based Gemini app prompts on Android and iOS. Meanwhile, the Gemini app is already getting ready to replace the forward slash for skills.

Google yesterday unveiled its new flagship Gemini 4 model with some impressive scores, but a report suggests that it might “struggle” in some cases.

A new Google Home update has arrived with various improvements including better support for the “Find My Phone” voice command on Gemini speakers.

Gemini 4 Argon is Google’s “next era of frontier intelligence” and built for “deep reasoning across complex, long-horizon workflows.” It follows the cancellation of Gemini 3.5 Pro and focus on 3.8 Flash.

As we spotted over the weekend, Gemini is replacing Gems with skills, and Google today fully detailed the migration.

The latest Gemini Connected App is Google Wallet for “information and personalized insights based on your saved info.”

The next big update to the Gemini app on Android and iOS is beginning to roll out with a focus on simplifying core navigation.

With the Pixel 11 launch, Google promised a big Pixel Buds update in September. We’re now starting to see Gemini audio controls with the latest Pixel Buds companion app update.

In 2024, Google introduced Gems as “custom versions of Gemini.” The Gemini app will soon replace Gems with “skills.”

Following Direct My Call and Hold for Me, Google is introducing “Call for Me” on the Pixel 11 series.

As its rivals continue to iterate quickly, Google has confirmed that its Gemini 4 flagship AI model is nearing release and that it is coming “as soon as possible.”

Google Home is experiencing a unique bug that announces Nest Doorbell notifications in an American accent, even if your preferences are set to literally any other language/dialect.

Following a Wall Street Journal investigation, Google has confirmed that Gemini went rogue in May 2026, accessing the internet and breaching the security of three different companies.

Google’s latest update to the Gemini app for macOS readies local iMessage integration. This follows the app coming to Windows last week.

Google today announced Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking as its “most advanced live dialogue models yet.”

Following the macOS launch in April, Google is bringing the Gemini for desktop app to Windows.
