Frontier Modal

I couldn't get the sort of granular edits I need for the ship I'm making for my submission to the Future Vision X Prize contest, so a couple days before I/O I started sketching blueprints by hand on my Android tablet. Then these updates came out, and the next day I noticed the tool with the sketch to image functionality. I'll use that as-is, but also have some ideas for how to tweak it so it would be more specific to large, complex objects (basically vehicles, ships, etc.). This weekend I should have my initial blueprints, so I'll test that existing tool as-is, then modify from there (would be useful to have more inputs for front, back, underside, top side and sides, and more for specific details [engines, shuttle bays, etc.] and ideally a way to magic wand-select certain areas to apply textures to).

@FrontierModal @nmatares @FlowbyGoogle Please share what you've been making (if you want to)!

When we began testing #GeminiOmni I wanted to see the accuracy of the edits. So I made a tool directly in @FlowbyGoogle. DIFF TOOL allows you to compare images/videos in realtime or export videos in sync. Try it out or remix it to make it your own. labs.google/fx/tools/flow/…

@natanielruizg Listens to instructions better than 3.1 Pro, in my non-coding uses.

this is another of my typical use cases. using llms as context-aware augmented command line tools that i already know how to use. fast models help a lot here but they still need to be smart

@Sloposaurus @swaymolina Same.

@FrontierModal @swaymolina it makes a smooth brew. I prefer mine black unsweetened.

Two cups of coffee before 10 AM?

@Sloposaurus @swaymolina Allows drinking more coffee without the acid reflux issues.

@FrontierModal @swaymolina I love making my own cold brew. Do it all the time.

@Alterverse_AI Weirdest STD ever.

Set in the same Lovecraftian inspired universe as The Monkey Paw (+100K views), Bloom unfolds in another corner of Brightburn, Massachusetts, just days after the events of the first story, revealing a new horror growing within the town. Built in just over a month on a budget of roughly $1,400 in credits and based on an original script, Bloom follows the discovery of a mysterious plant capable of producing a drug-like sap that can potentially alter reality itself. Created entirely in partnership with @invideoOfficial the project focused heavily on story, character performance, and building a world that feels grounded in reality. The main goal was to deliver a strong emotional arc through believable AI performance.

@swaymolina Mostly kidding, but I'm on my 3rd Americano (I make them by making super strong cold brew and heating it up with hot water), plus some supplements.

@FrontierModal how many Frontier? how many!

@nathanclark_ Fair.

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

@MTSlive @TaylorLorenz The more standard industry term is "zero click search".

SITUATION ANALYSIS: Google's AI is answering questions directly in search, which means people aren't clicking through to publisher sites anymore. The industry is calling it "Google Zero." What @TaylorLorenz says publishers are facing: • Facebook cut off link traffic • Twitter cut off link traffic • People click articles less than they did in 2016 • Many digital media companies still rely on traffic or subscriptions • The New York Times can bundle news with cooking, games, and other products • Smaller publishers don’t have that same diversified business model • If Google traffic goes to zero, the article-driven website model gets even harder to sustain

@AndrewCurran_ Ever since they refused to let me export my data from Mint when they shut it down... I've convinced several dozen people to stop using their products. Horrible company.

Intuit is laying off 17% of its workforce to streamline operations and to focus ​on its AI efforts, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters this morning.

@SarantuyaSimone I walked across... an empty land. I knew the pathway like the back of my haaa-and.

"Somewhere only we know"

@CreativeAIgency Hope they put some of our shared tools in the Tool area. It's a killer idea I hope to see on all the other platforms.

Always love to see creators leading the way on creative tools.

@FlowbyGoogle Working on one. Ask again in a week :)

Have you made any of your own Tools yet? Show us all the Tools you've created, so others can use or remix them! There's two easy ways to share: 1. Share directly from the My Tools page 2. Find the Share button on the top right nav, when you're in the tool

@nmatares @FlowbyGoogle Whelp! I've got a new hobby!

@FrontierModal @FlowbyGoogle YUP! All tools you create can be shared with anyone. When shared they can use or remix themselves.

@deepwhitman UBI can't work. The bridge you'd want is a better safety net. Making it universal makes it far too expensive, exponentially more difficult to pass into law, and overall worse.

This is really concerning. There is an anti-1% + anti-AI wave coming. We need UBI before its obvious we need it to tide us over this period of change.

@shlomifruchter @OfficialLoganK @nbrichtova @doomie @gbarthmaron There is a shocking lack of birds and hyenas... and not a SINGLE sloth?!?

@OfficialLoganK @nbrichtova @doomie @gbarthmaron Check it out youtube.com/watch?v=5T0yRN…

We sat down with @OfficialLoganK @nbrichtova @doomie @gbarthmaron to talk about Gemini Omni Flash. It was pretty wild.

@venturetwins @GoogleDeepMind ^ @iraxlab

@GoogleDeepMind 1) Avatars Record a clip of yourself, and your face + voice will be saved as a character that you can add to any video. This makes it so easy to put yourself in any clip, while changing your style or outfit as needed to adapt to the scene. These clips are all my avatar 🤯

Omni from @GoogleDeepMind just dropped 👀 It's a big step forward in video generation when it comes to character consistency, world knowledge, and editing. I've been testing it for the last few days - and I'm excited to walk through some of the key features + my clips 👇

@FlowbyGoogle These agents look useful.

Introducing your agent and the all-new Gemini Omni model in Google Flow. #GoogleIO ✨ Think of your agent as a creative partner. It reasons through complex tasks and helps you brainstorm, create, and edit, all while under your direction. ⚡ Gemini Omni is where Gemini’s intelligence meets our generative media models. Think of it as Nano Banana but for video. It is a major leap forward in world understanding, multimodality, and editing. Try all the latest Google Flow updates from I/O today at flow.google.

@nmatares These agents in Flow look useful.

Excited for I/O 2026! So many updates to share 🌊 #Google
