(Google has once again reclaimed the top spot in the AI race. Sorry Sundar and Demis, we have underestimated you big time!)
1. Gemini 2.5 Pro (+ DeepThink mode) – state-of-the-art LLM that tops every LM-Arena board; DeepThink gives it Olympiad-level maths & competitive-coding skills.
2. Gemini 2.5 Flash – the “workhorse” model, now even cheaper & 2x faster for real-time apps.
3. Gemini Diffusion (my 2nd favourite launch!) – first diffusion-based text model. 5x faster generation with built-in error-correction while it writes.
4. Google Beam (ex-Starline) – AI-first video platform that turns a regular call into a true 3-D, light-field conversation.
5. Real-time Meet Translation – Real-time voice translation where two speakers who don't speak the same language can communicate!
6. Project Mariner API – “computer-use” agents that watch your screen, learn tasks once (Teach & Repeat) and run up to 10 jobs in parallel.
7. Agent Mode in the Gemini app – let Gemini book apartments, tickets or reservations end-to-end while you just approve.
8. Gemini Live (Astra on mobile) – point your camera or share your screen and chat with AI about anything you’re seeing.
9. Native Audio TTS – two-speaker, whisper-capable, 24-language text-to-speech now in the Gemini API for friction-less voice apps.
10. Jules – an autonomous coding agent that fixes bugs, migrates stacks and PRs straight to GitHub while you sleep.
11. Imagen 4 – next-gen image model with photoreal detail + perfect typography, 10x faster for creative iteration.
12. Veo 3 (my favourite launch!!) – text-to-video leaps ahead with built-in sound-effects & character dialogue. Hollywood quality video from a prompt.
13. Flow – director-grade AI film studio that lets creators build multi-shot stories with Veo, Imagen & Gemini in one timeline.
14. Android XR + Gemini Glasses – lightweight frames with on-lens display, visual search, real-time navigation and live voice translation.
15. AI Try-On for Shopping – snap/upload a full-body photo and see any dress or tee realistically draped on you; hooks into price tracking and one-tap checkout.
