Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash with improved coding (+12pp on DeepSWE), the ultra-fast 3.5 Flash-Lite (350 tokens/s), and security-specialized 3.5 Flash Cyber — but the long-awaited 3.5 Pro is still absent.
Google made gemini-omni-flash-preview available in Google AI Studio and the Gemini API — a natively multimodal video API priced at $0.10/sec of output with automatic SynthID watermarking. Also launched Nano Banana 2 Lite — Google's fastest and cheapest image model.
Stable Gemini CLI v0.51.0 (July 16, 2026) closes path traversal vulnerabilities, prevents model thought leakage into session history, and hardens the macOS sandbox. Nightly v0.52.0 (July 18) adds LLM triage orchestrator and ReAct loop mitigation.
Google Vids now supports personal AI avatars (selfie + voice recording = SynthID-watermarked digital stand-in) and Gemini Omni Flash for text-prompt video generation and conversational editing of existing clips.
Notion Agents gained calendar tools: the AI can check schedules, reschedule meetings, send invites, and create scheduling links via natural language in Notion chat. Requires connecting a calendar under Settings.
Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook and introduced new features: in-notebook code execution, integration into Google Search AI Mode and Gemini app, Gemini 3.5 model, and the Antigravity agentic coding platform.
The Gemini app gained Study Notebooks: a space to upload syllabi and notes, where Gemini diagnoses your knowledge level, creates adaptive lessons, and tracks progress across 100+ learning objectives. Launching on web for personal accounts.
Google significantly upgraded Gemini 3 Deep Think with iterative reasoning rounds for complex scientific problems. The model identified a logical flaw in a technical math paper missed by peer review. Available for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
Gemini CLI version 0.50.0 (July 8) introduces Tool Registry Discovery — automatic discovery and registration of external tools for AI agents.
Google, alongside the Gemini Spark expansion to the AI Pro tier (July 24), rolled out key improvements: the agent is 50% faster via parallel source retrieval and can now edit shared Workspace files.
Notion released version 3.6 on July 1, 2026, introducing External Agents support (Claude and Cursor as the first two), native Excel and PowerPoint file handling for Notion AI, speaker labels in meeting notes, and expanded MCP connections with stronger admin controls.
Notion AI added External Agents — Claude and Cursor are the first external AI agents available directly in Notion. Shared multi-agent workflows let teams automate end-to-end processes. Five new MCP connections were added including Mixpanel, Miro, and Box.
Google deprecated temperature, top_p, and top_k sampling parameters for the latest Gemini models. The API also now allows combining built-in tools (Google Search, code execution) with custom function calling in a single request.
