Google’s best new Android feature in years Research CircleThat’s why it was the focus of Google I/O’s opening keynote today. Google has announced a new update to Gemini, the artificial intelligence that powers the Android operating system. Most of the new features seem useful, though they may seem more subtle than you might expect
Google says it will reveal more about the Android operating system Wednesday, May 15Developers on the second day of the conference. Stay tuned for this announcement.
Circle to browse your homework
Gemini’s first major update is now available with the Circle to Find gesture. From today you can find answers to various physics and maths questions using long press key combinations. Google Search displays step-by-step instructions when you ask questions. Note that you need to sign up for help with math and word problems through the Search Lab menu for the feature to work.
Google He praised it on his blog It’s all possible with LearnLM, “its new family of fine-tuned learning models.” Frankly, older millennials these days are jealous when their kids get this kind of help. Google plans to release more STEM homework helpers later this year, including the ability to highlight charts and graphs.
Gemini gains more context
If you want more context for Google Gemini, you’ll get more of it this year. Google announced at I/O that in the next update you’ll be able to connect to Gemini to interact with the apps you use. For example, you can drag a photo created by Gemini into another app like Messages or dive deep into a YouTube video without having to navigate too far. Gemini Advanced customers also have the option to query the PDF file for a brief summary. This particular update will roll out “over the next few months.”
Multimedia has become a Gemini Nano device
The Gemini Nano — the smallest model in Google’s Gemini family, which powers the device’s Pixel hardware — will also see an update to compatible Pixel devices later this year. First, the Gemini Nano will be multimedia. Artificial intelligence will eventually be able to process text and audio or video input simultaneously. It uses Android features like TalkBack, which allows Nano to generate descriptions for images and UI elements that don’t contain details.
The Gemini Nano also supports the fraud detection feature in the Phone app that Google announced during the keynote. This feature scans conversations on the device to determine if there is a scam in real time. According to Google, the conversation is processed by the hardware and not forwarded to the server. Instead, Nano Trigger waits for words and phrases and then makes comments that indicate you might be involved in a scam.
Twins for developers
Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer famously said it first: Developers conferences are developers, developers, developers! Google has reminded its developers that Gemini is available to use… Android development environment. Developers get early access to Gemini 1.5 Pro, which can help with programming and assembly.
