Simulate real-world places with Project Genie and Street View

Google DeepMind 4 months ago 31

Google has connected its Genie world-generation model with Street View imagery, allowing users to create interactive virtual environments anchored in real-world locations. The capability launches today for Google AI Ultra subscribers at $200 per month, initially covering places across the U.S. with plans to expand later. Users can now generate imaginative scenes based on actual locations—such as exploring the Golden Gate Bridge underwater or the Fort Worth Stockyards in the 1920s—by selecting a real place and creative style before describing their character.

Introducing Gemini Omni

Google DeepMind 4 months ago 53 ● 2 sources

Google released Gemini Omni Flash, a video generation model that accepts images, audio, video, and text as inputs and allows users to edit videos through natural language commands. The model is rolling out today to all Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers through the Gemini app and Google Flow, with free access launching this week on YouTube Shorts and YouTube Create. Users can now generate videos with consistent characters and realistic physics, edit specific elements conversationally, and create content from mixed input types while all outputs receive SynthID digital watermarks for verification.

Gemini for Science: AI experiments and tools for a new era of discovery

Google DeepMind 4 months ago 44 ● 2 sources

Google introduced Gemini for Science, a collection of experimental AI tools including Hypothesis Generation, Computational Discovery, and Literature Insights designed to accelerate scientific research across disciplines. The tools are built on existing AI systems like Co-Scientist and AlphaEvolve, with validation papers published today in Nature, and enterprise partners like BASF and Bayer Crop Science already using them in private preview. Researchers can now access these experiments through Google Labs, while Science Skills—integrating data from over 30 life science databases—enables analyses that previously took hours to be completed in minutes.

Making it easier to understand how content was created and edited

Google DeepMind 4 months ago 43 ● 2 sources

Google is expanding tools across Search, Gemini, Chrome, Pixel, and Cloud to help users identify AI-generated content and track how media has been created or edited. The company has watermarked over 100 billion images and videos and 60,000 years of audio using SynthID technology, with SynthID verification already used 50 million times globally in Gemini. Content Credentials verification is rolling out in Gemini today and coming to Search and Chrome in the coming months, while Google is also launching an AI Content Detection API on Google Cloud to help businesses identify synthetic media.
