Google Gemini
Google's AI model and app. Built by Google DeepMind, it's embedded throughout Search and Android. Recently, Gemini 3.7 Flash was praised for boosting intelligence benchmarks over its predecessor while cutting response times (August 2026). A coding-focused version, Gemini 3.7 Flash, was also released and reportedly outperformed Anthropic's code model on benchmarks (August 2026). Google's new Pixel Watch 5 smartwatch shipped with offline Gemini, usable without an internet connection, which came alongside a price increase (August 2026). Around the same time, Google introduced a policy letting users remove the visible watermark previously attached to images generated by Gemini and its other AI tools (August 2026).
