Story

Google pushed Flash to general availability and rolled out Gemini in Chrome (Windows/Mac for AI Pro/Ultra in the US), Gemini Omni globally to subscribers 18+, and a US Daily Brief (Google Gemini). The Flash GA is the builder-relevant piece: frontier-ish quality at speed and price points that work for high-volume agent loops, which is exactly where you don't want to pay top-tier model rates per call. Timing is "late June" rollout rather than a single dated drop, so treat the exact date as approximate.
