Google launched Gemini Embedding 2 — text (8,192 tokens), images (6 per request), video (120s), and audio without transcription, producing a single 3,072-dimensional vector. Scores 68.32 on MTEB English (5.09-point margin over previous leaders). Natively supports Matryoshka truncation: cut to 768 dimensions with under 0.5% quality loss. For mixed-media RAG, this eliminates separate embedding pipelines per modality.

Google expanded File Search with multimodal retrieval (images and text indexed together via Gemini Embedding 2), custom metadata filters, and page-level citations. Supports PDFs, DOCX, Excel, CSV, JSON, Jupyter notebooks, and images up to 4K. Storage and query-time embeddings...
Google launched agentic video understanding across Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite (Google). Instead of scanning a video start to finish at a fixed sample rate, the model runs an internal loop deciding what to watch, at what speed, and through which channel: fra...
Both models went live September 15 across the Gemini API, AI Studio, Gemini Enterprise private preview and consumer Search Live, covering 97 languages. Extended Thinking scores 82.6 on Artificial Analysis' Speech to Speech Quality Index, 68.6% on τ-Voice agentic tasks, 35.1% o...
The project positions against Cluely, Otter, Granola, and Fireflies with a Rust system-audio layer that works across Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack, and Discord without per-app integrations. Transcripts, embeddings, and keys stay on the machine by default, with local RAG over past m...
Google DeepMind shipped computer use as a built-in tool inside Gemini 3.5 Flash on June 24, collapsing the standalone Oct-2025 computer-use model into the same model you already use for function calling, Search grounding, and Maps. One agent sees a screen, clicks, types, and l...
Microsoft unveiled MAI-Code-1-Flash at Build, its first model that turns written descriptions into source code for apps and websites, explicitly aimed at lowering developer costs and cutting its dependence on OpenAI (CNBC). Same week, Google pushed Gemini 3.5 Flash to general...
