GEMINI

Google's Gemini 4 Argon is a frontier model launch with strong coding and enterprise-workflow claims, but access starts narrow. Here is what shipped, what is verified, and what to watch before planning around it.

Google shipped two new audio-to-audio models on September 15: Gemini 3.8 Live (76.0 Speech-to-Speech Index, 1.18s first audio) and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (82.6, #1), both with background tool execution. Benchmarks, per-minute pricing, and how to build with the Live API.

Google shipped agentic video understanding on Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite: the model decides which frames, audio, and transcripts to inspect instead of swallowing video at a fixed frame rate. Verified numbers: up to 88% fewer tokens, up to 66% lower cost, and up to 7% better accuracy on video benchmarks. Here is what changed and where the agentic loop still leaks.

Google made Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash generally available today: 10-second scene-extension context, first and last frame interpolation, 360p drafts at a third of the cost, and 4K upscaling. Verified pricing: about $0.10 per second of 720p video.

How much of an AI session can you actually take with you? Store defaults, encrypted reasoning, opaque compaction, hidden search, and subagent ciphertext compared across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini - all verified against live docs.

Google's Antigravity CLI replaced Gemini CLI on June 18, 2026. Here is how it compares to Claude Code and Codex on architecture, pricing, multi-agent workflows, and daily coding experience.

The cheap coding tier repriced again: GPT-6 Luna opened at $0.10/$0.50 and took the floor from DeepSeek, whose V4.1-Flash cut rates to $0.15/$0.60 off-peak. Gemini 3.5 Flash and Claude Haiku 4.5 hold the hosted middle. Prices verified September 26, 2026.

Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics ER 2 is now publicly available via the Gemini API. It watches live video feeds to track task progress, orchestrates VLA models as tools, and coordinates multiple robots. The numbers: 57.4% progress classification, 91.3% moment finding at 0.96s offset.

Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 family gives humanoid robots whole-body control, dexterous hands, and multi-robot teamwork - with an ER 2 model devs can try today. The HN thread (575 points, 459 comments) debated how real the progress is.

Google rebrands NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook, integrating the popular research tool deeper into its AI ecosystem. Here is what developers should know about the transition.

Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro arrives with a 2-million-token context window and Deep Think reasoning mode. Here is how to access it, what it costs, and when the massive context actually helps.

Gemini CLI stops working June 18, 2026. Here is exactly what to do: install Antigravity CLI, migrate your config, update your scripts, and avoid the silent MCP failure that breaks tool calls.

Claude Fable 5 vs Gemini: how Anthropic's $10/$50 API-only model compares to Gemini 3.1 Pro's $2/$12 preview on pricing, context, and benchmarks - and why Opus 5 changed the decision.

Same-day-verified llm api pricing september 2026: Claude Fable 5.1 and Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra/Sol/Luna, Grok 4.7, Claude Sonnet 5, and DeepSeek V4.1-Flash compared per million tokens, plus the caveats that change the math.

GPT-5.4 vs Gemini 3.1 Pro vs DeepSeek V4: pricing, benchmarks, context behavior, and license terms for the mid-tier models that carry most production traffic.

Google's asynchronous coding agent. Point it at a GitHub repo, it clones to a cloud VM, plans with Gemini, and opens a pull request. Tiered plans from 15 to 300 tasks per day.

From Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 to Andrej-karpathy-skills and EvoMap - the AI dev tools actually shipping the last 30 days, with commands, links, and pricing.

Google's AI notebook that lets you ground a Gemini chat in your own uploaded sources. Generates summaries, mind maps, and podcast-style audio overviews.

Google's Gemini CLI gives you free access to Gemini with a 1 million token context window. Here is how to set it up and use it for TypeScript projects.

Google's Gemini Advanced includes a deep research feature that searches dozens of websites, verifies information across multiple sources, and generates detailed cited reports. Here is how it works and how it compares to other AI research tools.
