Gemini

Traveling has never been smarter. Google Maps now uses the power of Gemini AI to provide users not just with routes, but with contextual recommendations, tips to avoid traffic, and real-time travel optimization. Instead of static navigation, the app becomes a proactive assistant that learns from your habits, predicts challenges on the road, and helps you make decisions while on the move.

With the arrival of Gemini 3, Google is announcing a radical upgrade in the world of artificial intelligence. The new model promises more powerful reasoning, deeper understanding of context and the ability to work with complex visual and language tasks. This step could mark the transition from the era of AI assistants to an era of AI partners ready for complex tasks, creative thinking and integration into everyday digital tools.

Chinese tech giant Baidu has unveiled ERNIE 4.5 VL 28B A3B Thinking — a multimodal artificial intelligence model that reportedly outperforms leading systems like GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro in complex tasks involving text, images and data visualization. Baidu claims its mixture-of-experts architecture enables exceptional results while using only a fraction of its total parameters. The company has also open-sourced the model under the Apache 2.0 license, encouraging broad adoption and industry collaboration.

The latest and most advanced artificial intelligence model, developed under the leadership of the Google DeepMind team, introduces numerous improvements in performance, speed, and efficiency, reaffirming Google’s dominance in AI technology development.

Android, Wear OS, and Pixel may be household names, but it was Gemini, Google’s new AI technology, that grabbed all the attention at this year’s conference.
