“If you want satellites that can confidently spot really tiny wildfires, you can build a really big, expensive, high-resolution satellite that stares at the ground for a long time. Or you use smaller, lower-cost satellites — meaning you can launch a lot more of them — but you have to make up the precision difference with machine learning and AI. We chose the latter,” says @GoogleResearch scientist, Chris Van Arsdale.

We spoke with Chris about our FireSat initiative and how we’re using AI to detect and track wildfires.

[Google @Google]

Our goal in the next two years is to capture a complete picture of the earth’s surface every hour. This will help us build a record of what turns into a large wildfire and what doesn’t.

CC the entire fam 🤝!

Today, we’re announcing the new CC – an AI agent built for families to spend less time on logistics and more time together.

You can now:

👤 Add up to 5 members to your CC agent
☀️ Start mornings aligned with a shared "Your Day Ahead" brief email
🗓️ Autosync schedules & to-dos with a shared Google Calendar and Tasks
💬 Coordinate in Google Chat with CC to offload relevant tasks (ie., crafting weekly meal plans, school supply shopping lists, etc)
📝 Delegate paperwork (ie., permission slips, forms, and more) for CC to complete under your direction
📌 Keep tabs on the details – CC remembers what applies to everyone (ie., family grocery lists, favorite restaurants) versus what applies to one person (ie., dietary restrictions, local timezones)

Ready to keep everybody on the same page? Join the waitlist or upgrade your existing CC (US only, 18+): https://t.co/6Id5GRBrVc

We're updating Gemini managed agents with a new harness.

antigravity-preview-09-2026 brings @Antigravity tools and behavior to @GoogleAIStudio and the Interactions API. It runs natively on Gemini 3.8 Flash, our best reasoning & coding model yet, and you can change your model selection anytime.

Plus, we’re introducing two new APIs to make building easier and more secure 🧵

[Google @Google]

We’re already seeing significant efficiency wins for antigravity-preview-09-2026 from our internal testing:

⚡ Cheaper, more accurate edits: uses 40% fewer output tokens on file changes and up to 6% higher task completion on multi-turn software engineering and research tasks

🧠 Smarter caching: boosts cache hit rates up to 16% on long conversations and research tasks

[Artificial Analysis @ArtificialAnlys]

Google has released Gemini 3.8 Live, its new Speech to Speech model, with the Extended Thinking (High) variant debuting at #1 on the Artificial Analysis Speech to Speech Index at 82.6, and #1 on our Tau Voice benchmark implementation at 68.6%

Gemini 3.8 Live is @GoogleDeepMind's successor to Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, a Speech to Speech model that executes tools and API calls in the background while continuing the conversation. It comes in two variants: the standard Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, which supports configurable reasoning effort. We evaluated the standard model and the Extended Thinking variant at High reasoning effort through the Gemini Live API.

Key takeaways:
➤ Speech to Speech Index: Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) debuts at #1 at 82.6, ahead of GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at 81.5, Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High at 81.3 and GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 80.1. The standard Gemini 3.8 Live debuts at #5 at 76.0, with both variants up on Gemini 3.1 Flash Live High at 71.5 (+11.1 and +4.5 points). The Index averages Speech Reasoning (Big Bench Audio), Agentic Performance (Tau Voice), Arena Preference and Arena Task Success Rate
➤ Speech Agent Arena: Gemini 3.8 Live ranks #2 in preference at Elo 1083, behind Gemini 3.1 Flash Live (1096) and ahead of GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 1053, and #2 on Task Success Rate at 93.2%, behind Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High at 94.6%. Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) trails at Elo 990 with 89.1% task success
➤ Tau Voice: Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) takes the top spot on our Tau Voice benchmark implementation at 68.6%, ahead of GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at 67.9%, GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 59.3% and Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High at 56.5% - up from 37.7% for Gemini 3.1 Flash Live High. The standard Gemini 3.8 Live scores 30.1%
➤ Big Bench Audio: Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) scores 97.7% on audio reasoning, ahead of Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High at 97.2% and behind Qwen Audio 3.0 Realtime Plus at 99.2%. The standard Gemini 3.8 Live scores 91.7%
➤ Speed: Average Time to First Audio on Big Bench Audio is 1.18 seconds for Gemini 3.8 Live and 1.35 seconds for Extended Thinking (High), both well ahead of Gemini 3.1 Flash Live High (2.99s) and in line with GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 1.24s and GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at 1.34s, though behind Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High at 0.70s
➤ Cost: Gemini 3.8 Live costs $0.84 per hour of input audio, the cheapest model in the Index and roughly half the $1.75 of Gemini 3.1 Flash Live High. Extended Thinking (High) costs $3.50 per hour - cheaper than GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at $4.47, Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High at $4.80 and GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at $5.83, and ~3.1x cheaper than GPT-Realtime-2.1 High at $10.75
