Google is preparing to unveil significant AI advancements, with speculation pointing towards enhancements to its Gemini model. Rumors suggest a potential update to Gemini 2.0 Pro, possibly named "Nebula," which has been observed performing well on specific prompts. This new model is expected to incorporate advanced reasoning capabilities, adding a new layer of sophistication to Google's AI offerings.
Google's strategy involves integrating AI into various facets of its services, which is evident by the official rollout of its Data Science Agent to most Colab users for free. Gemini 2.0 is designed to be universally applied across Google's products. It will enhance AI Overviews in Google Search, which now serve one billion users, by making them more nuanced and complex. Additionally, live video and screen sharing are being rolled out to Gemini Live, improving the models features.

Google is enhancing its Gemini AI assistant with the ability to access users' Google Search history to deliver more personalized and relevant responses. This opt-in feature allows Gemini to analyze a user's search patterns and incorporate that information into its responses. The update is powered by the experimental Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model, which the company launched in late 2024.
This new capability, known as personalization, requires explicit user permission. Google is emphasizing transparency by allowing users to turn the feature on or off at any time, and Gemini will clearly indicate which data sources inform its personalized answers. To test the new feature Google suggests users ask about vacation spots, YouTube content ideas, or potential new hobbies. The system then draws on individual search histories to make tailored suggestions.

Google has announced significant upgrades to its Gemini app, focusing on enhanced functionality, personalization, and accessibility. A key update is the rollout of the upgraded 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model, now supporting file uploads and boasting a 1 million token context window for processing large-scale information. This model aims to improve reasoning and response efficiency by breaking down prompts into actionable steps. The Deep Research feature, powered by Flash Thinking, allows users to create detailed multi-page reports with real-time insights into its reasoning process and is now available globally in over 45 languages, accessible for free or with expanded access for Gemini Advanced users.
Another major addition is the experimental "Personalization" feature, integrating Gemini with Google apps like Search to deliver tailored responses based on user activity. Gemini is also strengthening its integration with Google apps such as Calendar, Notes, Tasks, and Photos, enabling users to handle complex multi-app requests in a single prompt. Google is also putting Gemini 2.0 AI into robots through the DeepMind AI team, which has developed two new models of Gemini specifically designed to work with robots. The first, Gemini Robotics, is an advanced vision-language-action (VLA) LLM that uses physical motion to respond to prompts. The second model, Gemini Robots-ER, is a VLM with advanced spatial understanding, enabling robots to navigate changing environments. Google is partnering with robotics companies to further develop humanoid robots.
Google will replace its long-standing Google Assistant with Gemini on mobile devices later this year. The classic Google Assistant will no longer be accessible on most mobile devices, marking the end of an era. The shift represents Google's pivot toward generative AI, believing that Gemini's advanced AI capabilities will deliver a more powerful and versatile experience. Gemini will also come to tablets, cars, and connected devices like headphones and watches. The company also introduced Gemini Embedding, a novel embedding model initialized from the powerful Gemini Large Language Model, aiming to enhance embedding quality across diverse tasks.

Google is currently navigating the "innovator’s dilemma" by experimenting with AI-driven search solutions to disrupt its core search business before competitors do. The company is testing and developing AI versions of Google Search, including a new experimental "AI Mode" powered by Gemini 2.0. This new mode transforms the search engine into a chatbot-like interface, providing more nuanced and multi-step answers to user queries. It allows users to interact with the AI, ask follow-up questions, and even compare products directly within the search page.
AI Mode delivers a full-page AI-generated response. Users can interact with the AI, ask follow-up questions, and even compare products. This mode runs on a custom Gemini 2.0 version and is currently available to Google One AI Premium subscribers. This move comes as Google faces increasing competition from other AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity AI, who are rethinking the search experience. The goal is to provide immediate, conversational answers and a more comprehensive search experience, though some experts caution that the traditional link-based search may eventually disappear as a result.

Google has recently launched a Gemini-powered Data Science Agent on its Colab Python platform, aiming to revolutionize data analysis. This AI agent automates various routine data science tasks, including importing libraries, cleaning data, running exploratory data analysis (EDA), and generating code. By handling these tedious processes, the agent allows data scientists to focus on more strategic and insightful aspects of their work, such as uncovering patterns and building predictive models.
The Data Science Agent, accessible within Google Colab, operates as an intelligent assistant that executes tasks autonomously, including error handling. Users can define their analysis objectives in plain language, and the agent generates a Colab notebook, executes it, and simplifies the machine learning process. In addition, Google is expanding the capabilities of its Gemini AI model, which will soon allow users to ask questions about content displayed on their screens. This enhancement, part of Google's Project Astra, enables real-time interaction and accessibility by identifying screen elements and responding to user queries through voice.

Google is enhancing its AI ecosystem with new tools and features designed to boost productivity and simplify complex tasks. NotebookLM, Google's AI-powered research assistant, receives major updates including a revamped interface and the "Discover Sources" feature. This feature allows users to search for keywords and import relevant sources into their notebook knowledge base, identifying around 10 results per search and giving users manual control over their knowledge base.
Additionally, Google is integrating AI into travel planning with new tools in Google Maps. Users can now create trip itineraries in AI Overviews by entering travel-related queries into Google, which generates tailored suggestions, flight and hotel results, and an expandable map. Another feature allows Google Maps to analyze trip-related screenshots from platforms like TikTok or Instagram, identifying locations mentioned in the images and compiling them into an itinerary.

DeepMind has unveiled AlphaGeometry2, a significant upgrade to its AlphaGeometry system. This new iteration achieves gold-medal level performance in solving challenging Olympiad geometry problems, surpassing the abilities of the average gold medalist. Researchers from Google DeepMind, along with collaborators from the University of Cambridge, Georgia Tech, and Brown University, enhanced the system's domain language, enabling it to handle more complex geometric concepts and increasing its coverage of IMO problems from 66% to 88%.
AlphaGeometry2 integrates a Gemini-based language model with a more efficient symbolic engine and a novel search algorithm. These improvements boost its solving rate to 84% on IMO geometry problems from 2000-2024. The system is advancing towards a fully automated system that interprets problems from natural language. Prior research suggests that AI capable of solving geometry problems could lead to more sophisticated applications, requiring both a high level of reasoning ability and the ability to choose from possible steps in working toward a solution.
