Complex workflows require specialized knowledge. ⚡ We’re expanding our Android skills repository to help models master specific patterns. With 17+ skills covering AppFunctions, Adaptive UI, and more, adding domain expertise is just a CLI command away → goo.gle/4vvyAo0

Android Bench now evaluates the open models you asked for. 📊 We added commonly used open models like our local Gemma 4, plus the latest like Gemini 3.5 Flash. Check out the leaderboard to find the right LLM for your workflow → goo.gle/bench

Build for Android, your way. 🛠️ In the era of agentic development, we’re giving you the flexibility to build apps using any AI tool, agent, or LLM you choose. See what's new: stable Android CLI v1.0, expanded Android skills, and fresh models on Android Bench → goo.gle/4393Mx9

@Aqib__786Ai @Firebase Hybrid AI architectures truly offer the best of both worlds.

This is a big step for AI app developers. The future isn't cloud-only or on-device only—it's intelligently using both. Being able to route inference based on latency, cost, availability, and privacy through a single API makes building production-grade AI experiences much simpler 🚀

The @Firebase AI Logic Hybrid API provides a single, unified interface for splitting inference between cloud and on-device environments. Hybrid inference lets you easily route AI requests to the models running on-device and in the cloud, optimizing performance, cost, and availability → goo.gle/3PrmGw5

@AhmedNMahran @AndroidStudio Glad you're enjoying the new terminal command completion! 💚

@AndroidStudio this is a nice and helpful feature found while typing a terminal command in Quail 💚

@AndroidStudio @antigravity Whether you're using Android Studio, Android CLI, or Google Antigravity, we're supporting you wherever you choose to build. Bring your ideas to life faster and easier in this new era of agentic development ↓ goo.gle/4xdExaB

@AndroidStudio @antigravity Android Bench adds new models 📊 We're evaluating AI on real-world Android challenges. We've added open-weight models to the leaderboard so you can see how local models like Gemma 4 measure up. We also added the latest Gemini 3.5 Flash model → goo.gle/bench

Agent-assisted tooling is changing how we build for Android. To help you ship faster, we’re expanding our ecosystem to support your workflow across your favorite tools → goo.gle/4xdExaB Here are 3 Android Developer Productivity recent updates: 🧵👇

@KlodianLula Sorry for the crash after the update! To help us figure out what's causing the startup failure, could you submit a quick report with your crash logs at goo.gle/49FXWa9 Our team is actively monitoring incoming reports. Thanks for letting us know!

@AndroidDev It crashed the moment I updated and I was forced to downgrade

Android Studio Quail.1 is stable and ready for you to use in production. This release brings efficiency gains to your agentic workflows, enabling you to analyze and fix app crashes using Gemini. Learn more → goo.gle/quail1

@kevnblock 💯 We agree!

@AndroidDev Adaptive UI + KMP is a huge win. Love that I can write code once and deploy it just about any device of any size.

Give your tablet users the experience they deserve. Don't simply stretch your mobile UI, design it to own the larger screen. Support configuration changes to ensure your app looks and works great in every window size, orientation, and posture → goo.gle/4dKCFeI
