Google is bringing Gemini intelligence to its Home APIs, allowing smart home developers and manufacturers to tap into Gemini’s AI-powered features and potentially making your smart home a lot, well, smarter. The company announced the news in a blog post during the Google I/O developers conference this week.

Google’s Gemini Diffusion demo didn’t get much airtime at I/O, but its blazing speed—and potential for coding—has AI insiders speculating about a shift in the model wars.

Google on Tuesday revealed new Android development tools, a new mobile AI architecture, and an expanded developer community. The announcements accompanied the unveiling of an AI Mode for Google Search at the Google I/O keynote in Mountain View, California.

At its developer conference, Google announced advancements in Gemini AI, including a new feature that allows users to interact with their smartphones as if they were conversing with another human.

On Tuesday at Google I/O 2025, the company announced Deep Think, an “enhanced” reasoning mode for its flagship Gemini 2.5 Pro model. Deep Think allows the model to consider multiple answers to questions before responding, boosting its performance on certain benchmarks.

Google is embedding Gemini AI across phones, TVs, cars, and more. Here's how it could change Android – and what it means for your privacy and daily life.

For all of that, you'll pay a pretty penny. Google AI Ultra costs $250 a month (although the company is offering half off the first three months). Not ready to drop $3,000 a year on AI? Google is rebranding its existing AI Premium plan as Google AI Pro, which also offers new features. It stays at a modest $20 per year.

Google I/O, Google’s biggest developer conference of the year, is here. I/O will showcase product announcements from across Google’s portfolio. We're looking forward to plenty of news relating to Android,
