It scores 55.8 percent on Terminal-Bench 4.0 and more than doubles its predecessor on agentic science.

It renders up to a minute of camera-controlled 1440p, writes scenes out as point clouds or splats, and beats specialist 3D reconstruction models.

One cent per check. It can block, rewrite or escalate, and it logs the message, the rule, and what it did.AI FrontierWed, 02 Sep 2026 15:10:21 -0600https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/productivity-features-gemini-live/https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/productivity-features-gemini-live/Ask 'what's my daily brief' and it talks you through the day without a screen.

Teams have used it on liver fibrosis, ALS and aging.
