It’s Friday 🎉 Here’s a look at this week’s announcements: — https://t.co/aIbQoguyFu 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
EmbeddingGemma 2 puts text, images, video, audio and code in one on-device space, which matters for retrieval. The week also brought Nano Banana 2.1 editing and a 24/7 Gemini cloud for business.
- multimodal — A model that works with more than text — reading images, audio, or video, and sometimes generating them too.
- embedding — A list of numbers representing a piece of text's meaning, so that similar meanings end up numerically close and can be searched.
- AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
