AI Studio

Google moved Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro to GA in AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Nano Banana 2 also takes video as input, giving image pipelines published per-image pricing and a production API.

Google said AI Studio users created more than 250,000 native Android apps in the first week after app generation launched. The number matters because it is the first adoption signal for Google's free no-code Android builder and device-testing workflow.

Google opened iOS pre-registration for the AI Studio mobile app and confirmed native iOS and Android clients for AI Studio workflows. The rollout matters because it extends Google’s developer-facing Gemini environment beyond the browser into a mobile form factor for prototyping and testing.

Google launched Antigravity 2.0 as a desktop app plus CLI/SDK stack for multi-agent workflows, and added Managed Agents to the Gemini API with persistent Linux sandboxes. Try it for agent orchestration and API-based sandboxing, but verify harness costs and runtime fit.

Google expanded AI Studio with native Android app building, on-device testing, Workspace integrations, and export into Antigravity, while its mobile app entered pre-registration. It matters because AI Studio is becoming a fuller build surface instead of just a prompt playground.

Google shipped Gemini 3.5 Flash as a GA model with 1M context, 65K max output, and stronger agentic benchmarks than Gemini 3.1 Pro. Watch task-level cost, since third-party evals show it can exceed Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-5.5 Medium on some jobs.

Google DeepMind published Gemini pointer experiments in AI Studio that act on whatever the cursor highlights, turning PDFs, tables, images, and recipes into direct actions. The shift matters because it moves assistant UX from separate chat panes into in-place pointing and voice commands.

Google moved Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite from preview to GA, and OpenRouter added the model with 1 million context and low-cost multimodal pricing. The preview endpoint now has a shutdown schedule, and users should verify whether the GA model differs from the March preview.

Google is replacing the Gemini Interactions API’s older outputs-and-roles structure with a steps schema for multi-step agent workflows. The change matters because SDK upgrades, migration work, and schema assumptions in existing tooling may break before the new interface reaches GA.

Google added a redesigned edit mode to AI Studio Build with component selection, on-canvas annotation, and Nano Banana-generated image assets. The update makes AI Studio a more interactive app editor, so try it for iterative app tweaks instead of one-shot generation.

Google AI Studio added multi-chat threads and web search grounding to Build mode, so Gemini coding sessions can branch while pulling live docs into the workspace. The feature improves in-browser prototyping loops, but it is currently scoped to AI Studio rather than the Gemini API itself.

Google enabled Pro and Ultra subscriptions inside AI Studio, turning consumer plans into a higher-quota bridge before direct API billing. The rollout still has quota bugs and does not yet support Workspace accounts, so check access before migrating.
