Here’s some key AI news you may have missed from March, including @googlemaps' biggest upgrade in a decade, expanded access to Search Live and Personal Intelligence, and the launch of Lyria 3 Pro, our most advanced music generation model yet. Plus, we celebrated 10 years of AlphaGo. https://t.co/fxN7fY00Cf

Here’s what’s next for Android — from Gemini Intelligence to a brand new class of laptops, announced today at #TheAndroidShow.

Google has been using Gemini 3.5 Flash with the new version of Google @Antigravity and it’s dramatically accelerated how we build: In March we were processing half a trillion tokens a day across our internal coding tools. We’ve been doubling every few weeks, and now, we’re processing more than 3 trillion tokens a day. #GoogleIO

Gemini 3.5 Flash is your model for production at scale. Right now, our top @GoogleCloud customers process ~1 trillion tokens a day. If they shifted 80% of their workloads from other frontier models to 3.5 Flash, they’d save over $1 billion annually. That is real savings they can pour back into their company. #GoogleIO

“Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity are unlocking a new world of agents and agentic capabilities. We’ve been bringing agents to developers and enterprises for a while. Now we are super focused on bringing the power of agents, safely and securely, to consumers, so that it works for everyone.” — @SundarPichai at #GoogleIO today
