Oh, so this is why we mapped out all 166,000 of the male fruit fly's neurons. Check out the big community effort to show just how much these tiny fly brains are capable of 🪰🧵

Introducing our most advanced Gemini Audio models yet 🗣 Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking let you speak, collaborate, and execute tasks seamlessly, meaning conversing with AI just got a lot more natural. So, what’s the difference between these two models? Let’s break it down: — Gemini 3.8 Live is built for scale, speed, and cost efficiency. It can handle mid-sentence interruptions, transitions across 97 languages on the fly, and understands visual context. Figure out how to fix a broken bike chain, or deal with a leaky pipe just by pointing your camera at the problem area in Search Live for step-by-step audio instructions. — Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking goes one step further to bring increased intelligence to your most complex tasks. It reasons and speaks in parallel, even narrating its progress as it works. This lets it handle multi-step, behind-the-scenes projects, like planning an event, without ever losing the conversational flow. Watch how Gemini 3.8 Live combines real-time video and voice inputs in Search Live to tackle hands-on DIY plumbing tasks step by step 👇

We’re launching Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS ⚡️ Our most expressive audio models yet let you create custom voices across 100+ languages or pick from 2,000+ ready-to-use ones. You can direct back-and-forth conversations, guide the delivery line-by-line, and add natural cues like <laughs> or an active listening interjection like |mhm| all while generating hours of consistent, glitch-free audio. Sounds pretty cool, right? So… how should you use them? — Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS: Need to design bespoke vocal personas from scratch and with line-by-line level control? This is the model! Built for high-fidelity creative production like gaming, immersive audiobooks, and podcasts. — Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS: Want the AI to automatically adjust its tone and pacing on the fly for near real-time voice agents? This is your engine! Built for cost-efficient scale, high-volume dubbing, and bulk audio creation.

How do you build personalized AI tech that truly understands what matters to you? With Dreambeans from @GoogleLabs, we're safely connecting the dots across your digital life. Instead of siloing pieces of data one app at a time, Dreambeans gathers details from connected sources like @Gmail, Calendar, Search, @GeminiApp, and through face grouping in your @googlephotos. It might notice your friend Beth's birthday is coming up, generate a one-of-a-kind illustrated story of the two of you, and surface the perfect gift ideas. Rather than doomscrolling an endless feed, you’ll get a daily in-app notification from Dreambeans when your customized “stories” are ready. And when a story clicks with you, you can tap the illustrated tile to find additional info and direct links to the next step, whether that’s watching a movie trailer or buying a suggested gift. This experience is opt-in, transparent, and protected by strict privacy filters. And because you are always in control, you can simply tap the "thumbs down" button on any story if a suggestion misses the mark, helping the system learn what is actually useful to you.

Our SynthID technology lets you easily verify if an image, video, or audio file is AI-generated, and today we’re expanding access. Now anyone can go to http://synthid.com to check files for a SynthID watermark — whether they were generated by us or industry partners like @OpenAI, @nvidia, Kakao, and, coming soon, @Apple. To date, we’ve watermarked 180 billion images and videos and more than 240,000 years of audio content, regularly handling 1 million verification requests daily. This new portal joins our built-in verification features already live in Search, @GeminiApp, and @googlechrome.

Announcing Gemini 4 Carbon, our strongest model with state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long horizon capabilities. Carbon represents a step up across most benchmarks, delivering strong frontier performance in autonomous coding and cyber defense. We’re first making Carbon available to a subset of trusted cyber defenders in our Fairwind program. We’ll expand access as soon as possible.
