Google I/O 2026 delivered a packed lineup of AI announcements, and the headlines are massive. Gemini 3.5 Flash is live right now across all Google products and APIs, with Sundar Pichai calling it faster than competitors while matching top-tier benchmark performance. Gemini 3.5 Pro is coming next month after internal testing wraps up.
The new Gemini Omni model handles any input to create any output, with conversational video editing already available for Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers. Omni Flash launched today inside the Gemini app.
Google also redesigned the Gemini app with a new Neural Expressive design featuring fluid animations and haptic feedback, rolling out now on Android, iOS, and desktop. A Gemini Mac app lets users pull files straight from Finder using voice commands.
AI agents are coming too, starting with a Daily Brief feature that gives paid subscribers a personalized morning digest today.
Google is also baking C2PA credentials into Chrome and Gemini so users can verify whether images are AI-generated or camera-shot, which feels overdue.
This is Google swinging hard at Apple ahead of WWDC.
