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.
Here’s this week’s shipping recap 👇
— Nano Banana 2 & Nano Banana Pro are now GA and available via the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Gemini API, and in @GoogleAIStudio
—Co-Scientist, our new multi-agent system for structured scientific thinking, generates and refines novel hypotheses to solve complex scientific problems
— dreambeans from @GoogleLabs works overnight to curate a personalized daily collection of topics that are relevant to you based on your connected Google apps
— @GoogleGemma 4 12B, our unified encoder-free model, brings powerful multimodal intelligence straight to your laptop fully offline
— Gemma 4 models and their drafters are now optimized with Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) to cut memory requirements and maximize on-device performance
— @GoogleMagenta RealTime 2 is our open-weights live music model that you can play like an instrument using a MIDI keyboard, text prompts, and gestures
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.
Sigo jugando con Omni! Efectivamente el modelo desbloquea un montón de casos de uso (e.g. traducción) que antes requerían de concatenar varios modelos diferentes:
Traducción → Voz cloning → Avatar lip-syncing...
Ahora todo se reduce a un prompt
Look back at last week’s I/O announcements with @NotebookLM.

We're building Gemini for Science with and for the scientific community. In collaboration with 100+ institutions and a trusted tester community that ranges from PhD students to Nobel laureates, we want to make sure this tech is responsible and rigorous enough to tackle real-world problems.
Read the full update here: blog.google/innovation-and…
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.

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.
