New Models and Multimodal Capabilities

▶ Watch (1:19)

Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash, the new default model in AI Studio. It costs about 1.5 cents to analyze a 5-minute video and output a structured table. The 3.1 Flashlite model cuts latency further. Nano Banana for video (Omni Flash) generates and edits video from any input. The live API enables real-time voice conversations. A sample demo showed a dinosaur video – 31,000 tokens consumed, facts returned in seconds. Grounding with Google Search adds citations.

AI Studio: From Prompt to App

Build mode generates native Android apps from a text prompt. Ammaar Reshi described a foldable piano app: the top half shows a tutorial, the bottom half plays keys. The app is built in Kotlin, installed via USB or the Android emulator. Play Store distribution is coming. Workspace integrations – Gmail, Calendar – are rolling out today. A demo showed a “calendar roulette” app that deletes meetings, using OAuth and Firebase for authentication.

Gemma 4 supports 140 languages with a 256,000-token context window. It runs on laptops and Pixel 10 for on-device agentic use cases. A nonzero number of Gemma API calls are free inside Gemini APIs. Offline usage works – Paige Bailey described an 8-hour plane ride with Gemma 4 for vibe coding. The Google AI Edge gallery helps reduce project costs. Community partners include Unsloth and Kaggle.

Robotics and World Models

Gemini Robotics 1.6 runs on commodity hardware. A Stanford robot dog called Pupper uses the Gemini Live API with no training required – it follows a speaker and fetches balls. Genie 3, the world model family, generates interactive 3D scenes from text prompts. A demo showed a paper airplane navigating a waterfall with realistic physics and light reflections. Genie 3 is available with a Google AI Ultra subscription.
