Today, we released Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, our latest audio model for live speech-to-speech translation. It supports over 70 languages and starts translating as soon as you start talking, streaming translations while listening to what you say next. No awkward pauses or choppy audio, just real connection without language barriers. So, how does it work? 🤔 The model is able to make split-second decisions to juggle speed and translation quality so conversations actually feel fluid, human, and natural. In order to do this, the model must receive and contextualize the input while simultaneously outputting the translated speech. Through this process, Gemini 3.5 Live Translate manages to stay mere seconds behind each speaker and can even maintain pacing, pitch, and intonation across extended sessions. See it in action below, or try it yourself in the Google Translate app on iOS & Android.

We wanted to see if we could take simple, physical materials (like cardboard and markers) and use AI to bring them to life. What was the result? A short film starring a bunch of TPUs getting ready for the big stage at Google I/O 2026! Working with director Laurie Rowan and Nexus Studios, we kept human artistry at the center of the film by blending puppetry and 3D animation with our models to do the following ↓ Nano Banana: Generated beautifully stylized first frames from the raw puppet footage and basic 3D animations. @GoogleAIStudio: Built a custom tool inside the platform to test these frames at scale, ensuring pixel-perfect consistency Gemini Omni & experimental @GoogleDeepMind Models: Merged the base animation and stylized frames to elevate the final piece to a cinematic level. Our AI pipelines were specifically designed to protect the crafty details that give these films their heart, like the tiny human imperfections of puppetry, or the nuance an animator can build into an expression.

Hear the architects of Gemini reflect on their journey to continue pushing the frontier of AI, on this episode of Release Notes. @JeffDean, @koraykv, @OriolVinyalsML, and @NoamShazeer sit down on camera together to share a behind-the-scenes look at the people behind the model, and how they saw the vision come together.

For centuries, the scientific method has been our best tool for progress. But today, there’s so much data out there that it’s impossible for any one researcher to connect all the dots. We want to fix that: Introducing Gemini for Science, a collection of science tools and experiments designed to accelerate the speed and scale of scientific exploration. Read on to learn more about each announcement in this inaugural set 🧵👇

We are also launching Science Skills, a specialized bundle that integrates insights from 30 major life science models and databases with agentic platforms like @Antigravity to allow researchers to perform complex, manual workflows in minutes.
