New in Gemini: Live's biggest upgrade yet Faster responses. Smarter responses. More EQ. More linguistic range. 2x longer context. Android and iOS, powered by Gemini 3.1 Flash. Enjoy!

Last month, I wrote about how we need to lay the groundwork to secure a quantum era that's right around the corner. Now we're setting a 2029 timeline for post-quantum cryptography migration. Get all the details from @argvee and Sophie Schmieg. blog.google/innovation-and…

Innovation is in our DNA 🧬 Thrilled to see @Google at the top of @FastCompany’s Most Innovative Companies list for 2026. It’s been a journey to make our products more helpful for everyone, everywhere, and we’re not done yet!

The @WhiteHouse's framework addresses key elements of a national approach that will help AI benefit all Americans safely and soon. We look forward to working with the WH & Congress on this common-sense path to support the country’s AI leadership. whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…

We're joining industry partners on a $12.5M funding commitment for open source security. For 20+ years, we've championed open source by supporting the developers who secure it. As threats evolve, we'll keep helping them stay ahead and build for the future. blog.google/innovation-and…

Today, we’re opening up access to Personal Intelligence for AI Mode in Search in the U.S. 🚀 This feature has totally changed how I use AI in Search. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Opt in to connect apps like Gmail and Google Photos. Search connects your info to give you responses that uniquely match your specific context and interests. 2️⃣ Start asking for things like ideas and recommendations, where this is particularly helpful. For example: I wanted new podcast ideas and Personal Intelligence in AI Mode gave me spot-on recs for AI and product building shows that are similar to some of my favorites (hey @lennysan!). It even found some unexpected options around dad life working in tech. 🎧

Today at the Future of Work Forum we launched AI Works for Europe, partnering with governments, nonprofits, employers, and universities to help European workers and students gain essential AI skills. More details ➡️ blog.google/company-news/i…

See how we're supporting and empowering young people online through our products and services, including a new, first-of-its-kind global initiative from @GoogleOrg and @YouTube to support teen digital wellbeing. goo.gle/4s4oRn5

We’re bringing new capabilities powered by Gemini models to @googlemaps. With Ask Maps, get answers to complex questions about any place you want. For example it can help with complex requests like "Find me the best 3-hour family hikes in the Grand Tetons and a spot for a packed lunch”. Will try this next time I'm there:) Rolling out now in the US and India.

More on the science behind Groundsource and how it can be used to usher in better preparedness before disaster strikes. 🔽 blog.google/innovation-and…

When we talk about AI solving problems that were once considered impossible, this is the kind of thing we mean... Today we're introducing Groundsource, a new Gemini-powered methodology that helps predict flash floods by turning public news reports into actionable data.

Happy to share new progress in AI for Maths @GoogleDeepMind . In extremal combinatorics, AlphaEvolve has helped establish new lower bounds for FIVE classical Ramsey numbers - a problem so challenging that even Erdős commented on its difficulty. Historically, computationally deriving these bounds required bespoke, human-designed search algorithms. For many of these bounds, the best previous results are at least a decade old. AlphaEvolve changes this by acting as a single meta-algorithm that automatically discovers the search procedures needed to find these new bounds. 📷

The 2016 AlphaGo match against one of the world's top Go players wasn’t just a win for a computer program—it was proof AI was capable of technical creativity. Ten years on, we can trace the lineage of today’s most radical breakthroughs back to those historic moves on the board.

Breast cancer affects one in every eight women in the UK, and early detection is crucial. ⚕️ Our latest research in @NatureCancer shows how AI can strengthen early detection efforts for breast cancer. In studies with @imperialcollege and the @NHSuk, our experimental research AI-based screening system identified 25% more “interval cancers” - cases typically missed by traditional screening - while reducing screening workloads by an estimated 40%. Key findings from the studies in thread🧵⤵️

Today, we’re expanding localized thumbnails to the millions of @youtubecreators with access to Multi-Language Audio (which allows them to upload additional languages as audio tracks to their videos). Creators will be able to design and upload thumbnails in different languages, so viewers can see thumbnails that match their language setting. Excited to keep improving the @youtube experience for our viewers around the world 🌎 Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=42nyt8…

Watch Dr. Marian Rogers Croak, VP of Responsible AI, in “The Art of Possible,” a new documentary that celebrates her legacy and ongoing work.

Whether modernizing digital defenses, making AI a force multiplier for cyber defenders, or preparing for the quantum era, we look forward to working with @ONCD to build a more secure internet for all.

Google welcomes the President's Cyber Strategy for America and its focus on delivering world class innovation and security.
