Google for Developers

Today is the day! We’re officially bringing next-gen media workflows to the Gemini API and Google AI Studio with a massive dual model launch. Live right now: 🍌 Nano Banana 2 Lite (GA): Our fastest Gemini Image model yet. Built for velocity and high-throughput, it delivers text-to-image outputs in just 4 seconds at $0.034 per 1K resolution image. 🎬 Gemini Omni Flash (Preview): Gemini’s multimodal reasoning meets video. Generate high-quality clips and execute conversational, multi-turn edits with natural language. 🔗 The Combo: Chain them using the Interactions API. Spin up fast reference assets with NB2 Lite, then feed them directly into Omni Flash to animate them. Playgrounds, docs, and SDKs are officially live. Go build! 🛠️

"Together, let us build a future that is innovative, inclusive, and trusted." Thank you to Shri D.K. Shivakumar, Hon'ble Chief Minister, Government of Karnataka, for joining us at the #GoogleIOConnect opening session and sharing this vision for India's AI future. #BuildWithGemini

There is more than one way to ask if two things are "the same."

New Kotlin challenge: Two IDs that match every check you throw at them, but the duplicate filter still lets them both through. Can you find out why?

@Vanarchain @Google Exactly! Excited for devs to build with this. 🙌

@googledevs @Google Love seeing Google double down on Edge AI. Faster, more private, and more efficient experiences right in the browser are a big win for developers.

The Google for Startups AI Agents Challenge 2026 officially has its winners. ⚡🤖 From reimagining family healthcare to solving AI "amnesia," these pioneering teams are moving the industry from static code to declarative, production-grade autonomous agents 🧵

@TillieAlamjk @googlecloud @GoogleDeepMind Excited for what the community will build! 👏

@googledevs @googlecloud @GoogleDeepMind Exciting news! Autonomous optimization could change the game for engineering and research. Can't wait to see how this evolves!

AlphaEvolve is now Generally Available (GA) via @GoogleCloud. Built in partnership with @GoogleDeepMind, this Gemini-powered agent brings autonomous algorithm optimization to your hardest engineering and research problems. Check out the frontier science and tech impact so far: 🖥️ GPU kernels: Generating exascale GPU kernels on the Frontier supercomputer ⚛️ Quantum computing: Discovering brand-new quantum error-correction schemes 🧪 Drug discovery: Accelerating molecular simulations 4x for faster drug discovery 📈 Forecasting: Improving forecasting accuracy while slashing runtimes by 90% Read our launch post to start optimizing your workflows today: goo.gle/4vkjEIy

@DevWith_Atul This is where the magic happens. 🫶

Back to my setup after a work trip. ✈️➡️💻 As much as I enjoy traveling, nothing beats sitting at your own desk, opening your IDE, and getting back to building. Let’s code. 🚀 #setup #coding #developer

Upgrading your image pipeline? ⚡ Meet Nano Banana 2 Lite! Engineered for rapid ideation and high-velocity developer pipelines, it’s the ultimate choice when speed and cost are your primary constraints. If you’re currently using the first-generation version (gemini-2.5-flash-image), this new model offers an easy way to unlock immediate latency leaps and performance gains. Explore the new model in Google AI Studio: goo.gle/googleaistudio

copy() makes a shallow copy. Why: The data class copy() creates a new User, but it copies the reference to the same roles list instead of creating a new one. So alex.roles and sam.roles point to the same MutableList. Adding "editor" through sam.roles changes the list that alex.roles also points to. Fix: Give the copy its own list when copying, for example roles = alex.roles.toMutableList(). A safer option is to type roles as an immutable List and build a new list whenever roles change, which removes the shared mutable state entirely.

Two users that look separate may be sharing more than you expect.

New Kotlin challenge: a permissions bug where giving one user a new role somehow changes another user too. Can you find out why?

Less time writing boilerplate, more time deploying. 🧑‍💻
