For most of software history, even if you understood a problem better than anyone, you still needed someone else to help you build the solution.

That meant a lot of good ideas never became products.

Today we’re sharing our first look at the global build economy: more than 50M projects built on Lovable and 720M monthly visits to Lovable-built projects. Ideas are becoming products, and products are turning into companies.

The people building them are also different from what many would expect.
They may not have a CS degree, venture capital, or a technical co-founder, but they have customer knowledge, industry context, and a clear sense of what needs to exist.

It is still early, but the direction is clear: as this category matures, the impact will be greater than just more software. There will be more solutions, more companies, and more economic activity.

You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro. 

It’s SOTA for image generation + editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision + controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)

New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.

Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.

And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.

This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.

Congratulations to Michel Devoret, Chief Scientist at @GoogleQuantumAI, John Martinis, former hardware leader at @GoogleQuantumAI, and John Clarke on winning the @NobelPrize in Physics! The history of quantum computing is unfolding before our eyes ↓ https://t.co/AY9LJnfNjK

Another big moment for Search today: we’re starting to roll out AI Mode to 36 new languages and more than 40 new countries and territories, bringing it to over 200 countries and territories total, including many across Europe.

Now, you can try AI Mode in Arabic, Dutch, German, Italian, Swedish, Thai and Vietnamese, among others.

This leap forward has been made possible by our latest custom Gemini models for Search. By using advanced reasoning and multimodal understanding, we’re able to grasp the subtleties of local languages so people can ask longer, more complex questions in a way that feels intuitive.

Congrats to the team for shipping these powerful experiences at speed to millions more people around the world. It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come in just a couple short months and how many more things are coming to Search. Stay tuned 🚀

Hej from Stockholm! Great to meet with @SwedishPM, European leaders and students @KTHUniversity today to talk about how we can build and apply AI responsibly. Our new €10M @Googleorg Social Innovation Fund on AI can help European entrepreneurs do that.

Äntligen är vårt AR-projekt med Naturskyddsföreningen live! In och upplev fem hotade svenska djur i AR genom Googles sökmotor i mobilen 👇👀

[Naturskyddsförening @naturskyddsf]

Artdöden är ett lika allvarligt hot som klimatkrisen och i Sverige finns tusentals rödlistade arter. I samarbete med @Google_Sverige  har vi tagit fram��fem hotade svenska djur i 3D.

Do you ever think about where the internet actually lives?

Today Google launched #WhereTheInternetLives — a new podcast series all about data centers, told by the people who actually design and operate them.

Thanks to Prime Minister @MarinSanna for the visit and for her partnership. Finland is an important country for Google, and our data center there is a model of sustainability and energy efficiency for our sites around the world.

As of today, Google is the 1st major company to eliminate our entire carbon legacy, including before we became carbon neutral in 2007. We’re also proud that by 2030, we aim to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy in our data centers & campuses worldwide.
