It took us 9 years, 11 prototypes, and our life savings to learn that every great product has the same design process.
Matic is now decisively the best home robot for families (I'm biased)
A 500-word thread and video on the Universal Design Process behind every great product:

You can now create and edit images directly in Gemini Live.
Whether testing out room decor, getting help with math, or creating shareable memes, it all happens in real-time.
Just open the Gemini app, tap the Live button, share your camera, and tell Gemini what you want to see.

Nano Banana 2 is our new faster and better SOTA image generation & editing model!
It uses Gemini’s amazing world understanding + grabs real-time info w/ search to create higher quality outputs.
Available in @GeminiApp, @GoogleAIStudio, @FlowbyGoogle, Search & Vertex - enjoy!

Super cool use case of Genie 3 simulations!
We’re excited to introduce the Waymo World Model—a frontier generative mode for large-scale, hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation built on @GoogleDeepMind’s Genie 3.
By simulating the “impossible”, we proactively prepare the Waymo Driver for some of the most rare and complex scenarios—from tornadoes to planes landing on freeways—long before it encounters them in the real world.

Big day — we’re starting to rollout freeway driving for public riders in Phoenix, LA, and the Bay Area. We’re also connecting SF to San Jose, and adding curbside access to SJC Airport. A true testament to the generalizability of the @Waymo Driver. Excited to bring its proven safety record to freeways and unlock new opportunities for our riders! waymo.com/blog/2025/11/takin…

Exciting expansion! @Waymo now serves the whole SF Bay Area Peninsula from SF to San Jose and is taking riders on freeways.

Introducing Gemini 1.0, our most capable and general AI model yet. Built natively to be multimodal, it’s the first step in our Gemini-era of models. Gemini is optimized in three sizes - Ultra, Pro, and Nano
Gemini Ultra’s performance exceeds current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely-used academic benchmarks. With a score of 90.0%, Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU.

🤯 A critical moment recently passed by with barely a mention.
Right now –this very moment – there are cars on US roads driving members of the public without a human at the wheel.
This is an insane step forward. Learn more about what happens next.
