Meet Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash ⚡️ We’ve made the model more cost-effective, bumped the video generation and editing limit up to 15 seconds, and made updates to how scenes hold together over time. We've also given character speech an upgrade, reduced visual glitches like jump cuts, and made sure the model stays even truer to any reference assets you upload. So… what does all of that actually mean for you? It gives you more room to tell your story. With up to 15 seconds to work with, you have more flexibility to create what you need — videos look more cinematic and smooth, offering stronger consistency that keeps objects anchored from start to finish. And when characters speak, the dialogue sounds more fluid and natural. Creators and everyday users can start directing scenes and multi-turn edits in @FlowbyGoogle, generating 15-second clips at no additional cost in Google Vids, or creating 15-second videos in the @GeminiApp. Plus, for developers and businesses building with the API, we've dropped the price by 30% from the previous generation, making it available at just $0.07 per second for 720p video. Watch the model in action as it turns a single style frame into a 4-shot, 15-second macro science explainer of a living beehive ↓

Announcing Gemini 4 Carbon, our strongest model with state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long horizon capabilities. Carbon represents a step up across most benchmarks, delivering strong frontier performance in autonomous coding and cyber defense. We’re first making Carbon available to a subset of trusted cyber defenders in our Fairwind program. We’ll expand access as soon as possible.

Introducing Genie 4 from @GoogleDeepMind, our most realistic and interactive world model yet 🌍 Now you can use natural language to dynamically steer the world and its soundscape in real-time, whether you're changing the weather, moving the camera, or introducing new elements to the environment. So, how does the model do that? Behind the scenes, Gemini acts as the "brain" of the simulation. It translates your requests into actions, plans out complex events, watches the scene unfold to keep track of what's happening, and adjusts as you change the story. Genie 4 also introduces ambient audio and real-time interactive human dialogue that adapts on the fly.

Textbook biology, brought to life right in your browser 🌿 This interactive 5-stage visual atlas built by Argon in @antigravity turns dense textbook biology into a hands-on experience. With fluid animations and scientific precision, you can scroll from a sunlit leaf all the way down to sub-cellular chloroplasts. The model pairs accuracy with a seamless interactive design, demonstrating how to build educational tools that can make complex science visual and effortless to explore.

We’ve been exploring the potential of using Gemini 4 Argon to accelerate research @Google. One of our tests was using videos of humans performing fun tasks (game of bags, anyone?) to autonomously spin up training simulations, rather than relying entirely on manual programming. Hear from our research team and see the results in action as our humanoid robot studies the videos, runs the simulations, and masters the game of cornhole.

It’s Friday 🎉 Here’s a look at this week’s announcements: — is now available globally in English, allowing anyone to use our detector portal to easily verify if images, video, or audio files were AI-generated by Google or industry partners — Nano Banana 2.1, featuring leaps in visual design, subject consistency, and precise spot editing that lets you change specific details without altering the whole image — EmbeddingGemma 2, our first natively multimodal open model that unifies text, images, video, audio, and code into a single space for on-device embeddings — @GoogleGemma 4 paired with BOTANIC-1, a specialized AI trained on plant DNA, to rapidly pinpoint the exact mutations that make crops thrive — Gemini agent for your business, a universal cloud agent running 24/7 to get your work done — Guided Vision in Gemini Live, offering real-time visual assistance and dynamic audio descriptions via your camera, built alongside the blind and low-vision community

Our SynthID technology lets you easily verify if an image, video, or audio file is AI-generated, and today we’re expanding access. Now anyone can go to to check files for a SynthID watermark — whether they were generated by us or industry partners like @OpenAI, @nvidia, Kakao, and, coming soon, @Apple. To date, we’ve watermarked 180 billion images and videos and more than 240,000 years of audio content, regularly handling 1 million verification requests daily. This new portal joins our built-in verification features already live in Search, @GeminiApp, and @googlechrome.

Announcing Gemini 4 Argon, our new frontier model. Argon is built to sustain deep reasoning across complex, long-horizon workflows and delivers frontier performance in complex workflows across real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work like legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense. We’re also expanding the model’s output token limit to an industry-leading 1M tokens. Argon is currently rolling out to a set of trusted cyber defenders in the Fairwind Program, with broader availability as soon as possible.

Introducing our most advanced Gemini Audio models yet 🗣 Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking let you speak, collaborate, and execute tasks seamlessly, meaning conversing with AI just got a lot more natural. So, what’s the difference between these two models? Let’s break it down: — Gemini 3.8 Live is built for scale, speed, and cost efficiency. It can handle mid-sentence interruptions, transitions across 97 languages on the fly, and understands visual context. Figure out how to fix a broken bike chain, or deal with a leaky pipe just by pointing your camera at the problem area in Search Live for step-by-step audio instructions. — Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking goes one step further to bring increased intelligence to your most complex tasks. It reasons and speaks in parallel, even narrating its progress as it works. This lets it handle multi-step, behind-the-scenes projects, like planning an event, without ever losing the conversational flow. Watch how Gemini 3.8 Live combines real-time video and voice inputs in Search Live to tackle hands-on DIY plumbing tasks step by step 👇

How do you build personalized AI tech that truly understands what matters to you? With Dreambeans from @GoogleLabs, we're safely connecting the dots across your digital life. Instead of siloing pieces of data one app at a time, Dreambeans gathers details from connected sources like @Gmail, Calendar, Search, @GeminiApp, and through face grouping in your @googlephotos. It might notice your friend Beth's birthday is coming up, generate a one-of-a-kind illustrated story of the two of you, and surface the perfect gift ideas. Rather than doomscrolling an endless feed, you’ll get a daily in-app notification from Dreambeans when your customized “stories” are ready. And when a story clicks with you, you can tap the illustrated tile to find additional info and direct links to the next step, whether that’s watching a movie trailer or buying a suggested gift. This experience is opt-in, transparent, and protected by strict privacy filters. And because you are always in control, you can simply tap the "thumbs down" button on any story if a suggestion misses the mark, helping the system learn what is actually useful to you. Get started:
