Google’s AI models have a secret ingredient that’s giving the company a leg up on competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic. That ingredient is your data, and it’s only just scratched the surface in terms of how it can use your information to “personalize” Gemini’s responses.

Volvo’s cars will be among the first vehicles to have Gemini integration. Gemini will replace Assistant in these cars later this year. Google will use the car maker as its lead development partner for ​new Android Automotive ​features and updates.

Google says the release version of 2.5 Flash is better at reasoning, coding, and multimodality, but it uses 20–30 percent fewer tokens than the preview version. This edition is now live in Vertex AI, AI Studio, and the Gemini app. It will be made the default model in early June.

It's because the AI image generation trend started happening after ChatGPT got a serious image upgrade in March, while at the time, Gemini was still relying on Imagen 3, which had some limitations.

Ads are coming to Google AI Mode and to AI Overviews on desktop.

Google is adding its Gemini AI assistant to Chrome, the company announced at Google I/O on Tuesday.

Google’s AI models are learning to reason, wield agency, and build virtual models of the real world. The company’s AI lead, Demis Hassabis, says all this—and more—will be needed for true AGI.

Unsurprisingly, the bulk of Google's announcements at I/O this week focused on AI. Although past Google I/O events also heavily leaned on AI, what made this year's announcements different is that the features were spread across nearly every Google offering and touched nearly every task people partake in every day.
