Google I/O was completely insane for developers

Simply unbelievable

New AI app UI generation tool!

Yesterday’s Google I/O was simply unbelievable. Google is not messing around with anybody anymore.

AI from head to toe and front to back, insane new AI tools for everyone — Search AI, Android AI, XR AI, Gemini upgrades…

Developers were so so not left behind — a ridiculous amounts of updates across their developer products.

Insane coding agents, huge model updates, brand new IDE releases, crazy new AI tools and APIs…

Just insane.

Google sees developers as the architects of the future and this I/O 2025 definitely proved it.

The goal is simple: make building amazing AI applications even better. Let’s dive into some of the highlights.

Huge Gemini 2.5 Flash upgrades

The Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview is more powerful than ever.

This new version of their top model is super fast and efficient, with improved coding and complex reasoning.

They’ve also added “thought summaries” to their 2.5 models for better transparency and control, with “thinking budgets” coming soon to help you manage costs. Both Flash and Pro versions are in preview now in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Exciting new models for every need

Google also rolled out a bunch of new models, giving developers more choices for their specific projects.

Gemma 3n

This is their latest open multimodal model, designed to run smoothly on your phones, laptops, and tablets. It handles audio, text, images, and video! You can check it out in Google AI Studio and with Google AI Edge today.

Gemini Diffusion

Get ready for speed! This new text model is incredibly fast, generating content five times quicker than their previous fastest model, while still matching its coding performance. If you’re interested, you can sign up for the waitlist.

Lyria RealTime

Imagine creating and performing music in real-time. This experimental model lets you do just that! It’s available through the Gemini API.

Beyond these, they also introduced specialized Gemma family variants:

MedGemma

This open model is designed for medical text and image understanding. It’s perfect for developers building healthcare applications, like analyzing medical images. It’s available now through Health AI Developer Foundations.

SignGemma

An upcoming open model that translates sign languages (like American Sign Language to English) into spoken language text.

This will help developers create amazing new apps for Deaf and Hard of Hearing users.

Firebase Studio is officially here

Fresh tools to make software dev so much easier

Google truly understands the developer workflow, and they’ve released some incredible tools to streamline the process.

A new, more agentic Colab

Soon, Colab will be a fully “agentic” experience. You’ll just tell it what you want, and it will take action, fixing errors and transforming code to help you solve tough problems faster.
