Google released Gemini Robotics 1.5 and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5, two models that enable robots to reason, plan, and execute complex multi-step physical tasks in the real world. Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 achieved state-of-the-art performance across 15 academic embodied reasoning benchmarks, including Point-Bench and ERQA. The models work together as an agentic system where the reasoning model plans high-level tasks and the vision-language-action model executes them, while also learning to transfer skills across different robot embodiments without specialization.
Google released Deep Think in the Gemini app for AI Ultra subscribers, a reasoning model variant that achieved gold-medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. The version available to subscribers reaches Bronze-level performance on the 2025 IMO benchmark while operating faster than the competition model, with users limited to a fixed number of prompts per day. The tool is designed to help with complex problem-solving tasks including web development, scientific research, and coding challenges through extended reasoning time.
Google integrated a new image editing model called Nano Banana into the Gemini app, enabling users to edit photos while maintaining consistent appearance of people and pets across multiple versions. The model is described as the top-rated image editing model available, with capabilities including multi-turn editing, photo blending, and style transfer. Users can now apply costume changes, background modifications, and complex edits while preserving specific elements of their photos, with all generated images marked by visible and invisible watermarks.
