Gemini 3.5 Flash Computer Use Moves Agent Safety From Blog Disclaimer to Runtime Interface

Gemini 3.5 Flash Computer Use Moves Agent Safety From Blog Disclaimer to Runtime Interface

Computer-use agents have always had a demo problem: the demo looks like magic, and the production checklist looks like an incident report waiting to happen. Google’s new Gemini 3.5 Flash computer-use capability is interesting because it moves the conversation away from “look, the model can click” and toward

Google’s Disaster AI Stack Is Becoming Public Infrastructure, Not Just Model Research

Google’s Disaster AI Stack Is Becoming Public Infrastructure, Not Just Model Research

Google’s disaster-AI story is easy to file under corporate-good-citizen marketing. That would be the lazy review. The more interesting read is that Google is quietly assembling something closer to public infrastructure: forecasting models, geospatial datasets, open-source hydrology tools, Search and Maps distribution, Android alerts, and relationships with the agencies

DeepMind’s Pelé Reconstruction Is a Consent Test for Generative Memory

DeepMind’s Pelé Reconstruction Is a Consent Test for Generative Memory

The safest way to read Google DeepMind’s Pelé reconstruction is not as a sports clip. It is a governance test with a football attached. Google took a legendary moment that was never filmed — Pelé’s August 2, 1959 “Gol da Rua Javari,” remembered for three consecutive sombreros without the

DeepMind’s A24 Deal Is About Who Gets to Shape the AI Filmmaking Toolchain

DeepMind’s A24 Deal Is About Who Gets to Shape the AI Filmmaking Toolchain

The safest way to misunderstand Google DeepMind’s partnership with A24 is to frame it as “AI movies are coming.” That is the loudest version of the story, and also the least useful one. The real story is toolchain access. DeepMind is getting close to one of the few modern

Google’s Interactions API Is the Gemini Runtime Boundary Builders Were Waiting For

Google’s Interactions API Is the Gemini Runtime Boundary Builders Were Waiting For

Google’s Interactions API reaching general availability is not just another Gemini endpoint getting a graduation badge. It is Google admitting, in API form, that the old chatbot abstraction is too small for the work developers are now trying to hand to models. For years, most AI application code has

DeepMind’s AI Control Roadmap Says Coding Agents Need Seatbelts, Not Vibes

Google DeepMind’s latest agent-safety post is not exciting in the way model launches are exciting. Good. The useful work here is aggressively unglamorous: threat models, monitoring coverage, recall, response latency, permission tiers, and a frank admission that powerful internal agents should be treated less like clever autocomplete and more

Dataland Shows Creative AI Needs Infrastructure, Not Just Prompts

Dataland Shows Creative AI Needs Infrastructure, Not Just Prompts

The least interesting way to describe Dataland is “an AI art museum.” That phrase makes the whole thing sound like a room full of prompt-generated screens and venture-backed mood lighting. The more useful read is that Google Cloud and Refik Anadol Studio are turning generative AI into venue infrastructure: a

Ask Ad Manager Turns Google’s Ad Stack Into an Agent Workflow

Ask Ad Manager Turns Google’s Ad Stack Into an Agent Workflow

Google’s new ad-tech agent is not interesting because it can chat. Everything can chat now. Ask Ad Manager is interesting because Google is putting Gemini next to one of the least forgiving interfaces in digital media: the system publishers use to troubleshoot delivery problems, inspect performance, create reports, and

Splash Canvas Shows Why Creative AI Needs Better Interfaces, Not Bigger Prompt Boxes

Splash Canvas Shows Why Creative AI Needs Better Interfaces, Not Bigger Prompt Boxes

Most creative AI products still treat imagination like a support ticket: type a prompt, wait for output, negotiate with the slot machine. Google Arts & Culture’s new Splash Canvas is interesting because it refuses that default. It is small, silly, browser-native, and full of chatty sea creatures — which is

AMIE Shows Google’s Medical AI Moving From Diagnosis to Care Management

AMIE Shows Google’s Medical AI Moving From Diagnosis to Care Management

Google’s newest AMIE paper is easy to misread as another “AI versus doctors” headline. That is the least interesting version of the story. The more useful read is that Google is moving its medical AI research from the neat world of diagnostic puzzles into the much uglier world of
