(1/6) The biggest model upgrade to Search yet has landed. Gemini 4 Hydrogen is here, and brings cutting-edge intelligence to all Search users. It’s now the new default model in AI Mode & being used for your hardest questions in AI Overviews. > Breaks down complicated, multi-part Qs & precisely follows your prompts > Reasoning advancements improve query fan-out to show more links to the web > Much more visual, scannable & highly tailored responses (with comparison tables, charts & more) > Rich understanding of all supported languages I’ve been testing the model behind the scenes and it’s really incredible. It’s one of my favorite models I’ve ever used, and can’t wait for you all to try it! Here are a bunch of examples I found helpful 👇

Looking at 5 years of Google Flights data: book your holiday travel ASAP! ✈️ Fares for Thanksgiving are lowest 21-57 days out – making Oct the prime booking window. Other tips: > Sweet spot for Christmas travel is late Oct–mid Nov. > Spring break prices are lowest 50 days before departure. > Summer vacation best prices hit 21 days before departure

Search interest in latte art reached an all-time high globally this year! So this International Coffee Day, @rajanpatel and I tried to level up our barista skills using Search Live ☕️ We had it talk us through the pour step-by-step, then showed what we made for some real-time (and very honest) critique. Turns out making a tulip latte is harder than it looks 😅 Try it for yourself and ask Search anything.

(1/2) Just in time for back to school: the power of agentic coding has landed in Search. Anyone can now create custom tools and simulations to visualize different topics. One cool example: I asked AI Mode “make an interactive 3D fractal Mandelbulb visual I can zoom into” and it coded and rendered this visualization, right in Search & on the fly. Available globally in English (free of charge). Try it by asking AI Mode to create a simulation for whatever’s on your mind. Plus, we’ve started to roll out these interactive visuals in AI Overviews. lmk what you create!

News Flash⚡ We’re bringing Gemini 3.7 Flash to Search! ->Better at following instructions + understanding your intent, so you get even more helpful responses. ->Rolling out today globally in AI Mode for Google AI Pro & Ultra subs in English. Click the ‘+’ icon to select the model.

Great momentum from @GoogleDeepMind with today’s launch of three new Gemini models. Excited to start rolling out Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite in Search today. It offers stronger instruction following and better understands user intent, so conversations flow much more seamlessly.

New today: Connect your go-to apps with Search & get even more done. For example, you can connect your @Instacart account and generate a grocery list in AI Mode based on your conversation. Then AI Mode can add the items to your Instacart shopping cart and you can check out on their app/website.
