For more than 20 years, we’ve invested in machine learning and AI research, tools and infrastructure to build products that make everyday life better for more people. Teams across Google are working on ways to unlock AI’s benefits in fields as wide-ranging as healthcare, crisis response and education. To keep you posted on our progress, we're doing a regular roundup of Google's most recent AI news.

Here’s a look back at some of our AI announcements from February.

For us, February was about global impact. At the AI Impact Summit in India, we demonstrated how our ongoing breakthroughs in AI are now solving real-world challenges for people everywhere — and we launched new partnerships and investments to make sure everyone benefits. We see AI as an enabling technology that can help people achieve their goals — whether you're a researcher, entrepreneur or Olympic athlete. On the slopes, in a research lab, or right in the palm of your hand, Google's latest AI announcements are here to help you.

We announced new partnerships and investments at the AI Impact Summit. As world leaders gathered in New Delhi, India, we shared how we’re partnering to make AI work for everyone. That includes new Impact Challenges to help advance science and spark innovation for governments, as well as new national partnerships in India for AI and collaborations to accelerate scalable AI solutions in science and education.

CEO Sundar Pichai delivered opening remarks at the AI Impact Summit. Sundar explained why “no technology has [him] dreaming bigger than AI” and called on leaders to pursue AI boldly, approach it responsibly, and work through this moment in AI’s development together. He shared ways that Google is ensuring everyone benefits with major infrastructure investments and new AI skills training.

We released Nano Banana 2, combining Pro image capabilities with Flash image speed. That means you can now access high-quality image generation with faster results across products like the Gemini app and Google Search. We’re also continuing to improve tools like SynthID to help you identify AI-generated content. Developers can now build with Nano Banana 2 and deploy sophisticated visual creation at scale with an amazing price-performance ratio.

We released our most advanced music generation tools. Lyria 3 allows you to create custom music in the Gemini app. That means you can describe an idea or upload a photo or video, and Gemini will generate a 30-second track with custom cover art. On top of sharing that news, we also shared six tips to get you started prompting Lyria 3. And as an added creative tool, we also announced that ProducerAI is joining Google Labs. Whether you’re refining lyrics or a melody, ProducerAI is a music creation partner that can help turn your imagination into dynamic, comprehensive songs.

We shared new ways to create images and videos in Flow. To help you generate, edit and animate images and videos in a single workspace, we’re bringing our top AI capabilities into Flow. You can create high-fidelity images and instantly use them as building blocks for video generation, all in one place. With an updated interface, it’s now even easier to search, filter and manage your assets.

We released Gemini 3.1 Pro to help tackle your most complex tasks. Gemini 3.1 Pro is a smarter, more capable baseline model for complex problem-solving, demonstrating more than double the reasoning performance of 3 Pro. It’s designed to help you when a simple answer isn’t enough, whether you’re looking for a clear, visual explanation of a topic, synthesizing data into a single view or pulling together a creative project. Gemini 3.1 Pro is available to developers, enterprises and consumers via various platforms.

We released a major upgrade to Gemini 3 Deep Think. We collaborated with world-class scientists and researchers to improve Gemini 3 Deep Think. Designed specifically for the complexities of science and engineering, the updated Gemini 3 Deep Think excels where data is messy and solutions aren't black-and-white. It moves beyond abstract theory to deliver practical, actionable results for technical challenges. The new Deep Think is now available in the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers. Researchers, engineers and enterprises can express interest in early access to test Deep Think via the Gemini API.

We shared our view on what’s required to achieve digital resilience in the AI era at MSC. New technologies mean new frontiers for strategic competition. We’re already seeing how threats are evolving, and how old ways of responding are failing to meet the moment. That’s why at the 62nd Munich Security Conference, Google President of Global Affairs Kent Walker called for a collaborative approach to security and outlined how partners could work together to build resilience without sacrificing control over their data.

We shared how Google Cloud helped Team USA find their edge with AI. Ahead of the Olympic Winter Games, Google Cloud and Google DeepMind built an AI video analysis tool to help Team USA and U.S. Ski & Snowboard elite athletes analyze their tricks. Using Google DeepMind’s research into spatial intelligence, the platform maps an athlete’s motion directly from 2D video images — even through bulky winter gear. The tool, which runs on Google Cloud, processes this data in minutes, providing near real-time feedback that athletes and coaches could use to make adjustments and help elevate performance.

We shared our new Gemini ad for football’s biggest weekend. In our national in-game spot, "New Home," a mother and son use Gemini to bring their new house to life, imagining how different spaces will look and feel. The spot, named by the Kellogg School as the best in-game ad in its annual ranking, played during the big game and highlighted just a few of the amazing things people can do — and are doing — with Gemini.
