Google plans a staged rollout of its next frontier model, with introductory token prices and wider availability still to come.

The API is generally available with introductory rates through November 30. Pro subscribers gain access in the Gemini app and AI Mode, while Antigravity access requires Ultra or Enterprise.

The current help page says deeper prompts may reach Flash or Pro; most free-account prompts go to Flash-Lite.

The enterprise agent combines model choice, shared skills and Workspace access. Google describes controls for permissions, network traffic and the token and sandbox costs of delegated work.

Google’s new embedder can search across text, images, video and audio on local hardware. Its compression options expose a harder product decision: how much space to save before losing the searches users came for.

Suncatcher's four-chip prototype tests whether Google's hardware can survive in orbit. The stronger commercial test is whether processing satellite imagery before downlink saves enough time and bandwidth to justify dedicated machines—and what observations are lost when an algorithm decides what stays behind.

Planet has contacted the experimental spacecraft after launch. The mission will test Google’s AI processors in space, with heat management and radiation among the challenges.

Google’s September 30 announcement starts with restricted access for cyber defenders. The model also targets long-running software and knowledge work, with a larger output allowance and introductory API prices.

Google has made a live video avatar available to Gemini Enterprise customers. The capacity model is unusually concrete; evidence that a face improves service outcomes is not.

Google has made Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar generally available in Gemini Enterprise. The release combines voice and video interaction with background tool calls, while custom avatar creation remains allowlisted and Extended Thinking remains in private preview.

Google has released two Gemini 3 Pro–based voice models designed for real-time interaction and background reasoning, with different distribution lists across the Gemini API, Google Cloud, consumer products and Workspace.

Google has launched Gemini 3.8 Flash for general availability alongside a restricted security variant, pairing temporary introductory API rates with an advisory that complex tasks may consume more tokens.

Google kept the introductory token rate identical to its predecessor, but one independent test found that higher reasoning effort and extra agent loops pushed the cost of finished work up by roughly 40 percent.

Google has made `Gemini 3.7 Flash` available across its developer and enterprise channels, pairing behavioral updates for multi-step agent planning with introductory pricing through late 2026.

Demis Hassabis keeps the scientific authority. Koray Kavukcuoglu gets the delivery machinery and a direct line to Sundar Pichai. That is less a conventional succession than an admission that Google DeepMind had become two jobs wearing one title.

Google DeepMind demonstrated whole-body coordination on Apptronik’s Apollo 2 humanoid while limiting motor-control models to early-access partners.

The Meitner Energy Center will pair a Google data center with new clean-power generation in Gray and Roberts Counties. Google plans air cooling to limit water consumption.
