Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our latest frontier model.
Carbon delivers improved performance across domains — ranking #1 on v5.0 of the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index and sets a new state-of-the-art in cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.
It’s rolling out starting this week to cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program, with expanded access coming soon 🧵

you can now build with google maps platform in AI Studio 🗺️📍
go from idea to app powered by @googlemaps in minutes!
what’s new:
- 1-click setup
- create maps apps just by describing your idea, gemini does the rest
- build with map tiles, places, weather, routing, 3D buildings, street view, and more
try it out today: ai.studio/build
Today, we're expanding our eighth-generation TPU portfolio with two new systems built specifically for the agentic era — bringing our total to four distinct eighth-generation TPU systems launched in a single year.
TPU 8i Max was built for massive context windows and the highest compute density per rack, and TPU 8tx is optimized for secure and confidential inference. While flexible across workloads, the four systems in our 8th gen TPU portfolio give developers and organizations a purpose-built accelerator for every stage of the agentic lifecycle.
@AminVahdat, SVP and Chief Technologist, AI and Infrastructure, explains why we're expanding our TPU portfolio and what everyone needs to know about TPU 8tx and 8i Max ⬇️
In addition to expanding our eighth-generation TPU portfolio, we’re also upgrading our unified, open software stack for developers.

From fun idea → functional smart device 🏄♂️
Check out how these builders used Gemini 4 Argon and @Antigravity to take a custom "Surf Clock" from a rough sketch to a working prototype: exploring retro '60s designs, controlling Blender via Python, and writing custom firmware.
Introducing The Art of Looking, a new expansion in the partnership between @googlearts and @TheCourtauld, featuring 12 new stories that explore fundamental philosophical questions. What does art mean? Who is art for?
This collection takes a closer look at works from artists like Van Gogh, Michelangelo, or Claudette Johnson to dive deeper into their creative processes and iconic masterpieces and explore how AI can support cultural institutions to unlock new ways of opening up art education and immersive learning for the next generation of artists.

Meet Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, our updated video generation model from @GoogleDeepMind 🎬
Get stronger consistency, more creative control, and faster, more cost-effective video creation at scale:
⚡ Fast & 30% lower cost: Draft at 360p or 720p ($0.07/s) and upscale to 1080p or 4K
⏱️ Longer clips: Generate and edit videos up to 15s, or pick any exact length from 3s to 15s
💬 Edit in conversation: Swap backgrounds, subjects, or lighting turn by turn without starting over from scratch
🗣️ More natural speech: Create fluid, multi-speaker dialogue with clearer lip-sync
🎬 More controllable shots: Direct continuous camera moves with fewer jump cuts
See these updates in action ↓
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is rolling out starting today across @GoogleCloud, @FlowByGoogle, Google Vids, Google Ads, @GoogleAIStudio and the Gemini API.
Also rolling out to @GeminiApp for all Google AI subscribers, with 15-second clips available to Ultra.

Voice Remixing for Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS is now live in @GoogleAIStudio and the Gemini API.
Start with a preset from our library of 2,000+ voices or a custom-designed voice, and use prompts to fine-tune timbre, pitch, pace, and accent, like "add a subtle Southern U.S. accent" or "make it sound like a fire-breathing dragon." 🐉
To dial in your voice direction, try "Remix this voice" in @GoogleAIStudio 🪄
From there, you can audition three generated takes side by side, pick your favorites to keep remixing, and save them to reuse across scripts and multi-speaker scenes.

We want to clarify what we announced today about our education services. Today’s announcements give schools more choice, not less. Here’s what we announced:
- Gemini, Gemini Notebook, and Search will be OFF 🔴 by default. This is based on K-12 schools asking for more control over student use of AI services.
- Schools are in control: They can choose to turn ON 🟢 one, two, or all of these services individually.
- We are also updating Search for schools to make it better for learning. Specifically, AI Mode and AI Overviews will offer step-by-step guided learning through problems, so that students don’t get quick answers to schoolwork.
We know there’s concern about students using AI to shortcut schoolwork, and schools have told us they want control. That’s exactly why we are making these changes today to address the feedback we’ve heard from educators in recent months. And we’ll continue to engage deeply with educators to ensure we are giving schools more choice, more controls, and improved Search for learning.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Google's post claims schools can turn on Search independently from AI services like Gemini for more choice. Google executives stated Search and AI are deeply integrated, so schools enabling Search must accept AI features with no separate opt-out.

Our team used Gemini 4 Argon to build and edit this entire video, then displayed it on a real vintage CRT TV 📺
We used Argon in @Antigravity to script the 3D Blender boot animations and retro SuperCollider audio, then piped the signal via Raspberry Pi to a real TV screen.
No trick 🎃 Our @GoogleDeepMind team used AI agents powered by Gemini 4 Argon and @Antigravity to bring this robot to life from scratch. Happy Halloween!
While most jack-o-lanterns just sit on porches, the @GoogleDeepMind team decided to let AI agents design, simulate, and bring one to life. 🎃🤖
We built a physical, dancing 12 degrees of freedom robot directly from a single plain-English prompt, with no manual CAD required!
