Amid growing concerns about the environmental impact of artificial intelligence, Google says it has calculated the energy required for its Gemini AI service: Sending a single text prompt consumes as much energy as watching television for nine seconds.

Clarifying some relatively vague timelines from earlier this year, Google says that Gemini for Android Auto and TV is coming "this Fall."

It’s the most transparent estimate yet from one of the big AI companies, and a long-awaited peek behind the curtain for researchers.

Google has upgraded Gemini Live with visual guidance, tighter app integrations, natural speech, and conversational photo editing. Here’s what’s new and when it’s rolling out.

The move by Google and Oracle signals a future in which AI is no longer locked to a single provider’s platform.

Hidden prompts in Google Calendar events can trick Gemini AI into executing malicious commands via indirect prompt injection.

Gemini version 1.0.795460806 is now rolling out on the Play Store, bringing the updated widget along with it. This app mainly handles the homescreen icon, share targets, and widgets, while the core Gemini features still run through the main Google app and get updated server-side, as per 9to5Google.

Google's best model is now available for premium account coders through GitHub Copilot, but anyone can use Gemini CLI and its VS Code extension for free.
