Gemini

Gemini in Chrome for Mac and Windows will no longer require an AI Pro or AI Ultra subscription, while Google today also announced a number of upgrades.

As previewed in June, Google now lets you share Gemini Gems with other users.

It’s iPhone 17 review week, and word on the street is the base model is the one to buy this year. Pitting platforms against each other, Apple has a pretty distinct advantage over the Pixel 10 from the jump, with the iPhone 17 arriving with 256GB in its base $800 configuration, while Google delivers just 128GB for the same price. It’s easy enough to see this as a miscalculation on Google’s part — one it can rectify with next year’s Pixel 11 — but the Pixel 10’s status as a device “designed for AI” really feels at odds with this single decision.

After a mathematics win in July, Gemini 2.5 Deep Think has now earned a gold-medal level performance in competitive coding.

As previewed in April, Google Meet is rolling out an “Ask Gemini” capability for Workspace users. It’s framed as a “personal in-meeting advisor.”

Following the web, the Gemini app on Android and iOS has rolled out the “Tools” redesign of the prompt bar and suggestions in recent days.

The Nano Banana image editing model has been a hit for Google, and presumably the reason that Gemini for iPhone is the top free app in the US App Store.

Following the web, Gemini is beginning to roll out the latest prompt bar redesign on Android and iOS.

The Gemini homepage on desktop and mobile web has rolled out its Tools redesign, while Nano Banana continues to be a hit for Google.

The Gemini app finally supports audio uploads on Android, iOS, and the web for expanded file analysis options.

Google is finally going beyond “limited,” “expanded,” and “highest access” to detail Gemini’s usage limits, with actual numbers for free and paid customers.

There’s a lot to love about the Pixel 10. Through four generations of Tensor, we’ve waited for a chipset that could match the thermal performance of Qualcomm’s best, and my experience so far suggests Google’s nailed it. The 5x telephoto lens, while far from the best on the market, helps the camera feel far flexible than non-Pro Pixels in the past, and helps the device stand out from entry-level flagships from Samsung and Apple. It’s sort of the Pixel I’ve wanted for ages, even if it’s not an out-and-out perfect smartphone.

Following last week’s announcement, Google shared today how much of a hit Nano Banana has been for the Gemini app.

TCL has just announced the full details of its QM9K series TV, which are the first Google TV sets to include support for Gemini and a wild new presence-sensing feature, ahead of a quickly approaching release.

In a brief post today, Google is officially teasing an October 1 debut for its new Nest Cam and Gemini updates for Google Home.

Following the announcement earlier this month, the Gemini app is widely rolling out “Temporary chat.”

After introducing native image editing earlier this year, Google is giving the Gemini app capability a major upgrade thanks to “nano banana.”

Following the four-color glow at the start of this month, the Gemini overlay is now a pill with a rather gooey launch animation.

Google is apparently planning a shakeup for its smart home hardware efforts centered around – you guess it – Gemini, with a new “Google Home Premium” subscription reportedly taking the place of Nest Aware.

Google is rolling out a new Android Auto update, v15.1, in beta this week which hints at the ability for Gemini to leverage your car’s “precise” location in order to better improve navigation.

Google’s latest video generation model introduced in May lets you generate 8-second clips that include sound. Gemini this weekend is letting free app users try Veo 3.
