Gemini Release Notes

Bring your own data: GCS and external URLs

The Gemini API now supports file input from Google Cloud Storage (GCS) buckets and any HTTP/Signed URL. We've also increased the file size limit from 20MB to 100MB.

Today, we’re introducing significant updates to how you ingest data into the Gemini API: support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS) object registration, HTTPS/Signed URLs, and increased inline file size limits. These changes are designed to help you bring your own data — wherever it lives — directly into Gemini API. There’s no longer a need to re-upload data from existing storage, allowing you to scale your AI applications to production faster.

Bring your own data: GCS and external URLs
Previously, using large files (video, long audio, massive documents) required uploading them to the Gemini Files API, where they persisted for only 48 hours. While sufficient for prototyping, this ephemeral storage became a bottleneck for production apps relying on persistent data in cloud storage platforms.

We are removing this friction with two new input methods.

1. External URLs (public / signed):

We now support both files stored in public domains, as well as private storage (via signed URLs)

• You can pass any publicly accessible URL (like a PDF or image on the web) directly in your generation request.
• We support pre-signed URLs for accessing data from AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage or other cloud providers.
  The Gemini API securely fetches the content during processing, eliminating the need to download content to your backend just to forward it to the API.

2. Register GCS files:

If your data is already in Google Cloud Storage (GCS), you no longer need to move bytes. You can now register your GCS files directly with the Files API.

Increased inline limits
For developers who prefer using inline files for speed and simplicity, we are increasing the maximum payload size for inline data from 20MB to 100MB (base64 encoded, with varying limits based on data types). This is ideal for prototyping, real-time applications, and handling larger images or short audio clips without needing any intermediate storage.

With these updates, you now have a robust toolkit for data ingestion tailored to your specific needs:

How it works

Here’s how you can start using these new methods with the latest GenAI SDKs.

Using External (public or signed) URLs

This method allows you to fetch content directly from your existing storage buckets.

Registering Google Cloud Storage (GCS) files

For data already sitting in your GCS buckets, you can register the URIs once and use them across multiple requests without moving the actual bytes.
Note: This requires authenticating with OAuth credentials as an IAM user or service with read access to the storage bucket. See our documentation for the setup guide.

Get started

These new file input methods are available today in the latest versions of our SDKs. We’re excited to see how removing these data barriers helps you build faster and scale your multimodal applications with less overhead.

For complete details on authentication, supported file types, and best practices, check out the updated file documentation. To try out the new file URLs, explore the demo applet.

Here’s a look at where Gmail is going in 2026, as well as new features launching today.

Today, 3 billion users rely on Gmail to connect and get things done. AI has been a big part of that — from Smart Replies to AI-powered spam blocking.

But email has changed considerably since Gmail launched in 2004. With email volume at an all-time high, managing your inbox and the flow of information has become as important as the emails themselves. To help, we're bringing Gmail into the Gemini era and making it your personal, proactive inbox assistant.

Ask your inbox anything: AI Overviews

Your inbox is full of important information, but accessing it has required you to become a power searcher. And even when you find the right emails, you are often left staring at a list of messages, forced to dig through the text to piece together the answer. That’s why we’re introducing AI Overviews.

Just like they do in Google Search, AI Overviews turn information into answers without the digging. When you open an email with dozens of replies, Gmail synthesizes the entire conversation into a concise summary of key points.

And when you ask your inbox a question, we use Gemini to generate a simple AI Overview with the answer. Instead of hunting for keywords or digging through a year of emails, just use natural language, like “Who was the plumber that gave me a quote for the bathroom renovation last year?” Gemini’s advanced reasoning pulls the answer, instantly summarizing the exact details you need.

AI Overview conversation summaries are rolling out today for everyone at no cost. The ability to ask your inbox questions with AI Overviews is available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Get things done faster: Help Me Write, Suggested Replies and Proofread

Starting today, everyone can use Help Me Write to polish emails or draft them from scratch. There are also new Suggested Replies (an update to Smart Replies) which use the context of your conversation to offer relevant, one-click responses that match how you write.

Say you’re coordinating a family gathering and your aunt replies asking if she should bring cake instead of pie. Suggested Replies can instantly draft an initial response in your tone and style, leaving you free to refine it before giving it your approval. You can also use the new Proofread feature for advanced grammar, tone and style checks so everything is polished before you send.

Help Me Write and Suggested Replies are rolling out to everyone at no cost. The Proofread feature is available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

And next month, we'll be updating Help Me Write with better personalization by bringing context from your other Google apps.

See what matters most: AI Inbox

Your inbox is filled with updates; some are critical, others are just noise. The new AI Inbox filters out the clutter so you can focus on what’s most important.

AI Inbox is like having a personalized briefing, highlighting to-dos and catching you up on what matters. It helps you prioritize, identifying your VIPs based on signals like people you email frequently, those in your contacts list and relationships it can infer from message content. Crucially, this analysis happens securely with the privacy protections you expect from Google, keeping your data under your control. This lets high-stakes items — like a bill due tomorrow or a dentist reminder — rise to the top. We’re giving trusted testers access to AI Inbox before making it more broadly available in the coming months.

Try the new Gmail today

Many of these improvements are made possible by Gemini 3. These new capabilities begin rolling out today in the U.S. to Gmail users as well as Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. We're starting with English and excited to roll out more languages and to more regions in the coming months.

December AI updates recap

Here’s a recap of our biggest AI updates from December, including the launch of Gemini 3 Flash, the release of new AI verification tools in the Gemini app and the arrival of Gemini’s powerful translation capabilities in Google Translate.

For more than 20 years, we’ve invested in machine learning and AI research, tools and infrastructure to build products that make everyday life better for more people. Teams across Google are working on ways to unlock AI’s benefits in fields as wide-ranging as healthcare, crisis response and education. To keep you posted on our progress, we're doing a regular roundup of Google's most recent AI news.

Here’s a look back at some of our AI announcements from December.

December is usually a time for reflection, and looking ahead. That’s why this month we’ve been focused on taking frontier intelligence out of the lab and putting it into your hands in ways that actually matter for your day-to-day. Whether it’s the lightning speed of Gemini 3 Flash helping you tackle tasks in seconds, the new video verification tools in the Gemini app or the simple relief of having GenTabs tame your open tabs, these updates share a single goal: making technology adapt to you, not the other way around. And as we push these boundaries, we’re staying grounded in responsibility — launching new tools to help you verify AI content so you can explore this new frontier with confidence.

We released Gemini 3 Flash, featuring frontier intelligence built for speed. Gemini 3 Flash brings frontier intelligence to virtually every corner of the Google ecosystem, combining the speed of our most advanced models with improved reasoning capabilities to help with everyday tasks, all while keeping costs significantly lower. It's rolling out as the default model in the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search so people everywhere can now experience the incredible reasoning of our frontier model, right in our consumer products. And we’ve scaled this rollout to a global community, including developers building in the API, Antigravity, our new agentic development platform, and enterprise customers on Vertex AI.

We added new AI verification tools for videos in the Gemini app.

We’re bringing video verification capabilities directly to the Gemini app. People can now upload videos — up to 100 MB or 90 seconds — and simply ask if the content was generated or edited using Google AI. Gemini uses imperceptible SynthID watermarks to analyze both audio and visual tracks, pinpointing exactly which segments contain AI-generated elements.

We announced a new experiment to improve browsing and manage complex online tasks.

We’ve all felt the friction of juggling dozens of tabs to research a topic or plan a trip. Enter Disco, a new browsing experience from Google Labs designed to tame that complexity. Disco features GenTabs, an experiment that proactively synthesizes your open tabs and chat history to build custom, interactive web applications — transforming a scattered browser session into a streamlined tool for getting things done.

We upgraded Gemini audio models for powerful voice interactions.

The updated Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio is built to handle complex workflows and natural dialogue — meaning smoother conversations, higher accuracy and better responsiveness to instructions. It’s available now in AI Studio, Vertex AI, Gemini Live and, for the first time, Search Live. Plus, a new live speech translation beta in the Google Translate app brings live translation in 70+ languages directly to your headphones, preserving original intonation and pacing to unlock truly global communication.

We released a new Gemini Deep Research agent.

We brought a more powerful Gemini Deep Research to developers through the Interactions API. Developers can now embed advanced research capabilities — like navigating complex topics and synthesizing findings — directly into their own applications using a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio. We’ve also open-sourced our new DeepSearchQA benchmark, offering a transparent way to test just how comprehensive and effective research agents can be on web tasks. Plus, we shared how developers are already building mobile-first solutions to address real-world problems, from AI assistants for the visually impaired to tools fostering autonomy for people with cognitive disabilities.

We released a new way for shoppers in the U.S. to use our virtual try-on tool.

U.S. shoppers now have a more personalized way to find their next favorite outfit with our updated virtual try-on tool. Instead of needing a full-body photo, you can now upload a simple selfie and Nano Banana will generate a realistic, full-body digital version of you. Once you’ve selected your preferred studio-like image and clothing size, you can instantly see how you’d look in billions of products from our Shopping Graph.

We expanded Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro in Search.

We brought our most intelligent model, Gemini 3, to AI Mode in Google Search in nearly 120 countries and territories in English. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can visualize complex topics with Gemini 3 Pro by tapping “Thinking with 3 Pro” in the model drop-down in AI Mode. We also brought our generative imagery model, Nano Banana Pro, to AI Mode in more countries in English, starting with Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. For those in the U.S., we also expanded access to these Pro models (no subscription required), with higher usage limits for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

We released the top YouTube trends of 2025 and first-ever personal Recap.

YouTube celebrated its 20th birthday by looking back at 2025. MrBeast was the top creator for the sixth year running, while Rosé and Bruno Mars’ track "APT." became the fastest KPop video to hit one billion views. To mark the occasion, YouTube is launching its first-ever Recap so you can see a personalized summary of your year.

We added new ways for you to personalize, create and share your Google Photos Recap.

Google Photos Recap has returned to help you celebrate your favorite moments from 2025, now with more features to make the experience truly yours. We’ve added new controls that let you hide specific people or photos, ensuring your trip down memory lane is exactly how you want it. Plus, you can now get creative with exclusive templates in CapCut and easily share your finished masterpiece directly to WhatsApp or your favorite social feeds.

We released Year in Search 2025.

2025 delivered history-making headlines — from the first American Pope to the global obsession with "KPop Demon Hunters" — but the quietest revolution happened right at our fingertips. Thanks to AI, this was the year we saw a massive shift toward natural, conversational questions with a surge in queries like “How do I…” and “What’s the deal with…” as AI helped technology finally catch up to the way we think.
