    A more personal, expressive phone experience

    Nearly four years ago, we brought our award-winning Material You design to billions of Android phones and tablets, making them feel more human, approachable and grounded in your needs. Material 3 Expressive builds on Material You, bringing even more customization options so you can truly express yourself.

    Material 3 Expressive feels even more fluid and introduces a system of more natural, springy animations meant to bring a moment of delight to everyday routines. For example, when you dismiss a notification, the others next to it subtly respond to your drag. And when you snap it off the stack, you feel a satisfying haptic rumble.

    Make your drive more productive and enjoyable, hands-free

    Hands-free voice commands with Google Assistant have always been at the core of Android Auto and cars with Google built-in. Soon, Gemini will upgrade that experience by understanding what you want while you’re driving, through natural conversations. So instead of focusing on the perfect prompt or tapping the right button, you can stay focused on the road ahead.

    You can not only find the best route, but also get help along the way. For example, Gemini can find you a charging station on the way to the post office that’s also near a park, so that you can go for a walk before your errands while your car is charging.

    By connecting to your messaging app, Gemini can summarize the messages that you receive, and even translate your reply into another language before sending. And if you’re like me and spend a lot of time in the car, Gemini Live can be your helpful driving companion. On my morning commute, I can ask Gemini to give me the rundown of the news today (but without sports), or get a quick synopsis of the book I just finished reading (or didn’t have time to finish) on my way to my book club meetup.

    Gemini will be available on Android Auto in the coming months, followed by cars with Google Built-in.

    Experiencing AI naturally with Android XR glasses

    Today on the Google I/O stage, we gave a deeper look at glasses with Android XR.

    For over a decade, we’ve been working on the concept of smart glasses. With Android XR, we’re taking a giant leap forward.

    Equipped with a camera, microphones and speakers, these glasses work in tandem with your phone, giving you access to your apps without ever having to reach in your pocket. And an optional in-lens display privately provides helpful information right when you need it. Pairing these glasses with Gemini means they see and hear what you do, so they understand your context, remember what’s important to you and can help you throughout your day.

    Today’s sneak peek showed how Android XR glasses will work in real-world scenarios, including messaging friends, making appointments, asking for turn-by-turn directions, taking photos and more. We even demoed live language translation between two people, showing the potential for these glasses to break down language barriers — giving you subtitles for the real world.

    Improving speech recognition around the world

    In 2019, we launched Project Euphonia to find ways to make speech recognition more accessible for people with non-standard speech. Now we’re supporting developers and organizations around the world as they bring that work to even more languages and cultural contexts.

    New developer resources

    To improve the ecosystem of tools globally, we’re providing developers with our open-source repositories via Project Euphonia’s GitHub page. They can now develop personalized audio tools for research or train their models for diverse speech patterns.

    Support for new projects in Africa

    Earlier this year we partnered with Google.org to provide support to the University College London in their creation of the Centre for Digital Language Inclusion (CDLI). The CDLI is working to improve speech recognition technology for non-English speakers in Africa by creating open-source datasets in 10 African languages, building new speech recognition models and continuing to support the ecosystem of organizations and developers in this space.

    Expanding accessibility options for students

    Accessibility tools can be particularly helpful for students with disabilities, from using facial gestures to navigate their Chromebooks with Face Control to customizing their reading experience with Reading Mode.

    And now when you use your Chromebook with College Board’s Bluebook testing app (which is where students can take the SAT and most Advanced Placement exams) you’ll have access to all of Google’s built-in accessibility features. This includes ChromeVox screen reader and Dictation, along with College Board’s own digital testing tools.

    Making Chrome more accessible

    With more than 2 billion people using Chrome each day, we’re always striving to make our browser easier to use and more accessible for everyone with features like Live Caption and image descriptions for screen reader users.

    Access PDFs more easily on Chrome

    Previously, if you opened a scanned PDF in your desktop Chrome browser, you wouldn’t be able to use your screen reader to interact with it. Now with Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Chrome automatically recognizes these types of PDFs, so you can highlight, copy and search for text like any other page and use your screen reader to read them.

    Read with ease with Page Zoom

    Page Zoom now lets you increase the size of the text you see in Chrome on Android without affecting the webpage layout or your browsing experience — just like how it works on Chrome desktop. You can customize how much you want to zoom in and easily apply the preference to all the pages you visit or just specific ones.

    No, but you can still be an I/O pro. Originally, the name I/O was based on the first two digits in a googol (a one, followed by 100 zeroes), the number that lends our company its name. According to lore, I/O has evolved to also nod to “input / output,” referencing the computational concept of interfacing between a computer system and the outside world, and “innovation in the open.” Pretty fitting, don’t you think?

    From Google DeepMind’s AI advancements, to Google Cloud’s AI-first infrastructure, to our Other Bets’ use of AI to tackle complex challenges in areas like healthcare, energy and robotics — every corner of our company is focused on pushing the frontier of AI and bringing its benefits to everyone.

    NVIDIA is a critical partner in this mission. As a world leader in AI and accelerated computing, NVIDIA has collaborated with Google and Alphabet for years on a wide variety of projects, including Android, advanced AI research, next-generation hardware and software optimizations, and beyond — all with the goal of making AI more accessible for developers.

    This week at the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference, we’re doubling down on our partnership with NVIDIA with announcements across Google and Alphabet:

    Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure will help transform businesses with NVIDIA’s latest GPUs

    Training large AI models requires serious computing power, and NVIDIA continues to raise the bar on GPU performance. We’re excited to announce our A4 VM is now generally available, based on NVIDIA HGX B200 GPU — and our A4X VMs based on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 will be available soon, too. We’re committed to supporting the latest Blackwell GPUs, including the just-announced NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and NVIDIA GB300. This means faster training times, smoother deployments and the ability to tackle even more complex AI challenges.

    Google DeepMind and NVIDIA will make the power of Gemini available to more people

    Google DeepMind’s Gemini is the result of decades of large language model research and is our most capable AI model. This week we’ll share how rapid advances in Gemini are designed to support more developers and end users — and how our collaboration with NVIDIA is helping to make that possible.

    The Google DeepMind team also released Gemma 3 last week, the latest in our collection of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models. NVIDIA played a key role in the development of these open models, working closely with our researchers to optimize Gemma to run on its vast accelerated computing ecosystem. This means developers can easily access the same technology that powers Gemini and implement it on any NVIDIA GPU available to them.

    Separately, NVIDIA also announced today that it has employed Google DeepMind’s SynthID watermarking tool on its Cosmos video generation platform. This marks our first external deployment of the technology, and we’re proud to help instill user trust in AI-generated content.

    Alphabet and NVIDIA will use AI to tackle the world’s most complex issues

    Our collaboration with NVIDIA isn’t just about building AI tools to help in daily life; it’s about fundamentally improving the quality of life for everyone. That means working together to apply AI to address some of the world’s most complex challenges. For starters, we’re teaming up to apply the most advanced frontier models to areas from energy to drug discovery.

    • Smarter energy grids. Tapestry, X’s moonshot for the electric grid, and NVIDIA are researching methods to increase the speed and accuracy of electric grid simulations.
    • Improved drug discovery. Isomorphic Labs and NVIDIA are advancing the development of new medicines using AI.
    • More capable robots. Intrinsic and NVIDIA are making robots more intelligent and capable, with the integration of NVIDIA’s Isaac foundation models for more adaptive grasp capabilities.
    • Advanced robotics simulation. Google DeepMind and NVIDIA are launching MuJoCo-Warp, a new open-source physics simulator that will accelerate robotics research.

    We’ve always believed that the value of technology lives in its capacity to benefit people everywhere. That’s been foundational to our mission and it’s what our growing collaboration with NVIDIA is built on. By combining Google’s expertise in AI research and infrastructure with NVIDIA’s leadership in accelerated computing, we’re committed to strengthening the foundation of AI, making AI more accessible and helpful to developers and users, and collaborating in ways that will drive innovation for years to come.

    If you’re attending GTC this week, swing by Google Cloud’s booth #914 and check out one of the many Google sessions to learn more about our work together.

    For people who use hearing aids, the inability to stream directly to hearing devices can leave people out or create barriers to important information, whether it’s in a classroom, train station or concert.

    Now, Android supports Auracast, a new Bluetooth technology that uses your phone to enable a direct connection from hearing aids to audio broadcasts from crowded and public venues. This also means hearing aid presets, available within your phone settings, can be conveniently applied to broadcasts to personalize streams to your hearing. And expanding on our work with Bluetooth SIG to use the latest LE Audio technology, we’re bringing to Pixel 9 devices the ability to connect to broadcasts through QR codes – removing the need to go into your settings.

    To use Auracast, pair LE Audio compatible hearing aids from companies like GN Hearing and Starkey with your Samsung Galaxy devices with One UI 7 and Android 15 or Pixel 9 devices running the Android 16 beta and tune into Auracast broadcasts from compatible TV streamers or public venues.
