Google DeepMind and Google Research released WeatherNext 3, a new AI weather-forecasting model intended to predict atmospheric behavior more accurately and with faster updates. WeatherNext 3 achieves 5km resolution and is reported to be 60% better at rain than WeatherNext 2 based on evaluations on Operational WeatherBench. Google plans to feed the model into Search, Google Maps, and Gemini, and also offer it to users and researchers via Google Cloud.

Google launched Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, plus the Fairwind early access program for the cyber-focused model. Gemini 3.8 Flash scored 73.7% on DeepSWE-1.1, outperforming GPT-5.6 Sol by 1% but trailing Claude Opus 5 by a few fractions of a percent. The release shifts Google’s model lineup toward higher-effort reasoning (more iterative tool calls and steps) and expands early access cybersecurity use via CodeMender for selected participants.
