What changed
The latest AI news we announced in August 2026 For more than 20 years, we’ve invested in machine learning and AI research, tools, and infrastructure to build products that make everyday life better for more people. To keep you posted on our progress, we're doing a regular roundup of Google's most recent AI news. We released Gemini 3.7 Flash as our most intelligent workhorse model yet for coding and agents.
