EmbeddingGemma 2 is a 740M-parameter open model that turns text, code, images, video and audio into searchable vectors on a phone. It doesn't write anything. It decides what an AI can find — and it runs without sending your files anywhere.
Gemini 4 Argon launched September 30 at $2 per million input tokens against GPT-6 Astra's $10 — and is available only to vetted cyber defenders. The same week OpenAI shipped always-on agents on a model a government institute flagged. Google withheld a model that ties it on cyber. That is the costly-signal test, passed.
Business Insider reported Google opened Anthropic's Opus 5 to engineers company-wide, confirmed on the record. But antigravity.google is a public product whose own docs list Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 on free and paid tiers. Google has been distributing Claude to the public inside its own IDE. What changed is the internal build — and Claude Code is still not allowed.
Google held per-token pricing flat at $0.75 and $3.75 per million. Artificial Analysis measured cost per task rising from $0.40 to $0.58 — up 40% — because the model emits 30% more output tokens. It is the second launch in three days where the per-token price stayed put and the bill went up. Google's own advice: keep using 3.7 Flash if efficiency matters.
Made by Google 2026 delivered four Pixel 11 phones on Google's first 2nm chip, a $100 price increase, and the death of the 128GB tier. The AI framing everyone is quoting was announced three months earlier. The pricing tells you more than the keynote did.
Apple's WWDC 2026 Siri rebuild on Google's Gemini model is the largest consumer AI deployment ever. Here's what it actually means for the AI landscape.
Google's biggest Search change in 25 years replaces the search box with an AI interface on Gemini 3.5 Flash. The era of ten blue links is ending.
