We just introduced Gemma 4, our latest family of intelligent open models. Why is it a big deal? Three reasons. First, tremendous performance. It’s got advanced reasoning baked in, supports agentic workflows, native processes video and images, and is trained on 140+ languages. Second, Gemma comes in a mix of sizes, including ones suitable for on-device inference. Finally, it’s Apache 2 licensed, giving you a commercially permissive license to build and deploy. Read the blog post, and join one of the in-person events coming to a city near you.

Create expressive AI speech with Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS.
Wow. Besides offering native support for multi-speaker dialog and 70+ languages, this text-to-speech model offers audio tags that make it simple to control vocal style, pace, and delivery.
This specialized tool works with your favorite AI coding agent. The Agents CLI makes it much simpler to build, deploy, and run agents on Google Cloud.
There’s just one command to inject bundled skills into coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or the Gemini CLI. I also like that this tool run evaluation harnesses to test your agents, and then helps automate your deployment steps.
Unify your agent lifecycle with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform
At Google Cloud Next ‘26, we unveiled this powerful new platform that helps with all the stages of the AI agent lifecycle. Build with low-code visual interfaces or with our Agent Development Kit. Run workloads on the supercharged Agent Runtime. Manage agents with services like Agent Identity, Agent Registry, and Agent Gateway. And keep improving agents with Agent Simulation, Agent Evaluation, and Agent Observability.

Google I/O schedule is now live
Join us May 19-20 for two days of livestreams covering AI, Chrome, Cloud, and Android. Tune in for a front row seat to key announcements and demos. Then catch on demand sessions and codelabs on May 21.
Join the new AI Agents Vibe Coding Course from Google and Kaggle
Registration for this five-day online course is now open! This was wildly popular the last time we ran it, and now you get new speakers and new projects. Still at no cost.
The Cloud is awesome, but you can run agents anywhere! Mazlum has a good post (with source code) about using Gemma 4, Docker’s Model Runner, and the Agent Development Kit to host an agent entirely on his local machine.
We rebuilt the Flutter website in Dart and Jaspr, and you might want to consider that too. Hear from Kilian who created Jaspr and sees a lot of value in using Dart for modern web development.
