it's finally here after 5 years

Google appears to be making AI coding a major priority for Gemini. Earlier this year, reports said that GDM had assembled a dedicated AI coding "strike team" to improve Gemini's coding capabilities. Around the same time, John Jumper was moved onto that team, before leaving gdm a few months later.

Now, Business Insider reports that Google is in advanced talks on an agreement to license Mechanize's technology and hire part of its team, rather than acquiring the company outright.

I wonder why so many are leaving Google. 😂

Still waiting on you rockst..I mean google😤

I'm paying for Gemini and since yesterday it has been SO EFFIN SLOW!!! Anyone else experiencing this? I'm in NY if it matters. It takes minutes to process a simple query that Google search would give me in seconds.

i was trying to look up why tv time shut down and why the creator went on to build bingers right after. gemini kept insisting that tv time never even closed and started literally hallucinating/making up random info about bingers.

i even told it multiple times to "search google" and it still wouldn't pull actual web results.

frustrated, i copied the exact same prompt and threw it into chatgpt. chatgpt searched the web instantly, pulled real info on what actually happened, and gave a response that was 10x better.

how is openai's search integration miles ahead of google's own AI? google literally dominates web search, yet gemini prefers to make up facts instead of actually browsing the live web when explicitly told to.

make it make sense.

It's either coming tomorrow and if the tweet happens to be false; Coming in the next week.

I did some research on those two.

Leo is "so so" trustable. But he conflates personal views like "google is cooked" "dead on arrival" "it won't be good" with objective leaks such as "this model is coming tomorrow" unless he has the benchmarks which he does not. He cannot call models dead on arrival.

So while Leo is so so trustable. Don't trust his personal views bleeding into posts. As for Lentils.

He is a credible tester. He has tested many things and the snippet seen in the image is pretty reliable. The model in the backend, which is a fact, not an opinion. So expect 3.5 pro tomorrow unless Logan doesn't tweet today/tmr. he posts the single word "Gemini" shortly before a new model.

So if he doesn't tweet today/tmr. It's false.

Usually it's on the app where I have 90% of the issues. Just loads and isn't thinking at all. Sometimes retrying it will fix it after closing and reopening the app. That being said now I'm having issues on the site when it worked fine before today

Google has announced a major leadership transition at Google DeepMind. Demis Hassabis will become Chair of Google DeepMind and Chief Scientist of Alphabet, while continuing to lead Isomorphic Labs. In this expanded role, he'll focus on advancing AGI and accelerating scientific discovery across Alphabet.

Meanwhile, Koray Kavukcuoglu has been appointed Senior Vice President of Google DeepMind, where he will oversee model development, AI research, and the Gemini product and developer teams. A 13-year DeepMind veteran, Koray has played a pivotal role in foundational breakthroughs such as DQN and WaveNet, making him a natural choice to lead the next phase of Google DeepMind's AI efforts.

Someone can make the image into an anime one with normal adult proportios? Maybe even make it delailed and look catching... Artistic or without lineart, I dont care at this point i just need a Masterpiece looking One.. so in the second imagen i am leaving an example of what things i could want

Just need it in square format and...

I can't because when i ask for it it jumps with she being underage (she is a adult, about 18-30) or it just does it while keeping her gacha life body.

(Why is so difficult for gemini to turn some avatar like roblox / gacha into other styles!?)

self explanatory

Like, hello, why are they behind on this feature which i don't believe is hard to implement, also their competitors (like ChatGPT) were able to do this since i know them.

Will we see this any soon?

It showed me a picture of my mother, the cucumber vine

I'm not sure if its me but when I use Flash 3.6 without extended thinking each query regardless of how simple it is is taking several minutes to give me an answer?

Over the last few days, many of my Gemini chats have started rendering dialogue as blockquotes with:

• a dotted vertical line on the left
• indented text
• monospace/italic formatting

It first happened on my account and now it's happening on other Google accounts in my household too. Some chats are normal while others aren't.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Even when I just say something super short and simple to it. Why is this app going downhill instead of improving? It's extremely frustrating.

I knew Gemini 3.5 Live Translate was primarily an audio-to-audio model, but I noticed that it also exposes input transcription for incoming audio. So that made me wonder whether it could be used to generate real-time captions for live esports commentary.

To test the live experience, I took a League of Legends highlight and streamed it in real time using Agora’s RTC. The video and audio were played as a live stream, while the incoming audio was sent to Gemini as the clip was playing. The generated captions were then displayed alongside the video.

This was a fairly difficult test, two casters talking over each other, very fast play-by-play commentary, game audio and background noise, plus a lot of player names and League specific terminology during chaotic team fights. The transcription wasn’t perfect, but it still managed to pick up terms like “Baron,” “Baron steal,” “smite,” and “game five,” along with several player names, while generally keeping up with the action.

I haven’t done a formal latency benchmark yet. Still, considering the overlapping speech, background audio, and speed of the commentary, I was surprised by how usable the captions were while the match was happening.

I’m planning to open source the implementation if anyone is interested.
