Google announced the $100/month AI Ultra subscription at I/O 2026, featuring Gemini Spark—a 24/7 AI agent that navigates apps and executes tasks autonomously. The plan includes 5x higher usage limits, 20TB cloud storage, and YouTube Premium. The former top-tier plan dropped from $250 to $200.
Google revealed Gemini Omni at I/O 2026—a "world model" that processes text, audio, images, and video together to simulate physical environments. Unlike Sora or Runway, it lets users edit footage through natural language and maintains scene consistency across modifications. It replaces Veo in the Gemini app immediately.
Google DeepMind unveiled Gemini for Science at I/O 2026, a suite of experimental AI tools designed to help scientists explore hypotheses, validate work at scale, and analyze scientific literature.
Google DeepMind unveiled Gemini 3.5 Flash at Google I/O 2026, their strongest model yet for agents and coding. It runs 4x faster than comparable frontier models while matching or exceeding their intelligence on benchmarks.
Google DeepMind's Genie world model now connects to Street View, letting users simulate real-world locations as interactive 360-degree environments. The integration also helps Waymo train on rare driving scenarios.
Google unveiled Gemini 3.5 Flash at I/O 2026, combining frontier performance with agentic capabilities. The new Managed Agents API provisions a full sandboxed agent environment with a single API call.
Google's Threat Intelligence Group detected the first confirmed AI-authored zero-day exploit in the wild—a Python script bypassing two-factor authentication in a popular open-source web admin tool, intercepted before criminals could launch a mass exploitation campaign.
Google DeepMind unveiled an AI Co-Mathematician system — a multi-agent Gemini-based framework scoring 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4, the highest ever for any AI. AlphaEvolve improved lower bounds on five Ramsey numbers, including R(3,13) whose previous record had stood for 11 years.
At the Android Show on May 12, Google unveiled Googlebook, a new laptop category built around Gemini Intelligence. Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are manufacturing partners. Key features include Magic Pointer (Gemini-powered AI cursor) and vibe-coded custom widgets. Devices launch fall 2026.
