The world of Artificial Intelligence is moving at lightning speed, and Google is once again at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re incredibly excited about the latest suite of updates to their foundational AI models: Gemini, Veo 3, and Imagen 4. These aren’t just incremental improvements; they represent a significant leap forward in how we interact with technology and unlock new creative and productive potential.
Gemini Gets Even Smarter and More Intuitive
Google’s versatile Gemini app is evolving into an even more personal, proactive, and powerful assistant. One of the most compelling additions is Gemini Live, which now features camera and screen sharing. Imagine real-time, interactive AI assistance where Gemini can literally see what you’re seeing or what’s on your screen. This feature, now free on both Android and iOS, transforms how we can get help and insights on the go.
But that’s not all. Gemini is now a true multimedia powerhouse, with Imagen 4 built-in for superior image generation and Veo 3 integrated for cutting-edge video creation. Beyond the app, Gemini is expanding its reach, coming to Chrome to provide Browse assistance and offering new tools like Deep Research and Canvas for enhanced analysis and content creation. Students globally can benefit from interactive quizzes, and even better, college students in select countries are eligible for a free school year of Google AI Pro!
Veo 3: Bringing Video to Life with Sound
Prepare to be amazed by Veo 3, Google’s state-of-the-art video generation model. While its predecessors were already impressive, Veo 3 takes it to the next level with native audio integration. This means that when you generate videos, they can now include speech, sound effects, and background music, all seamlessly integrated.
This is a game-changer for anyone in content creation. Imagine effortlessly generating engaging b-roll for your next project, eye-catching YouTube intros, or dynamic social media animations with not just visuals, but also rich, synchronized audio. Veo 3 promises unprecedented efficiency and realism in video production.
Imagen 4: Unprecedented Clarity in Every Pixel
Our favorite image generation model, Imagen 4, has received a significant upgrade that’s all about quality and precision. Expect higher overall image quality, outstanding text rendering, and vastly improved prompt adherence. This means the images you generate will look more professional, text within those images will be legible and accurate, and the AI will better understand and execute your creative vision.
With support for multilingual prompts, Imagen 4 is now accessible to an even wider global audience. Plus, its capability to generate images at 2K resolution delivers remarkable clarity in fine details, making it perfect for both photorealistic and abstract styles.
Accessibility and What It Costs
One of the most common questions we get is about accessibility and cost. Here’s a breakdown:
- Gemini: The Gemini app offers both free and paid tiers. For those looking for the most advanced capabilities, Gemini Advanced, bundled with Google One AI Premium, is available for $19.99 USD/month. This package gives you access to Gemini 1.5 Pro, AI features in Google Workspace apps, and 2TB of Google Drive storage. A new premium plan, Google AI Ultra, is also available for higher rate limits and early access to new features. The good news is that Gemini’s web app is available in a wide range of countries globally, with the mobile app also having broad international availability.
- Veo 3: Currently, Veo 3 is available in the U.S. for Gemini Ultra subscribers, which is priced at $249.99 USD/month. It’s also accessible for enterprise users through Vertex AI. While a global rollout is expected, a specific timeline is yet to be announced.
- Imagen 4: This powerful image generation tool is available to all Gemini users and through Vertex AI for enterprise customers. For API usage, you can expect costs around $0.05 per image for standard resolution.
