Google just added Grounding with Google Search to Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, letting Gemini 1.5 fetch live web answers with inline citations. Testing is free inside AI Studio, while API access runs $35 per 1,000 grounded queries. Why it matters: developers can finally plug Google's web index directly into Gemini without messy custom retrieval pipelines.
Google just added support for public YouTube URLs and audio files directly into NotebookLM. You can now analyze lecture transcripts, connect insights across recordings, and easily share generated Audio Overviews via a public link.
Google just announced its next-gen AI model Gemini 1.5, led by 1.5 Pro built on a Mixture-of-Experts architecture. It matches flagship 1.0 Ultra quality with far less compute while shattering context limits with support for up to 1 million tokens—enough for an hour of video or 30,000 lines of code. It's rolling out now in limited preview for developers and enterprise users.
