- AI capabilities have 'leaped forwards' in the past year.
- Gemini Omni combines advanced intelligence with generative models.
- New model simulates intuitive physics, kinetic energy, and gravity.
- Conversational AI enables natural video editing from any input.
At the I/O 2026 Keynote, Google announced Gemini Omni, a monumental step in artificial intelligence development. This new model is designed to understand and simulate the world, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in generative AI and bringing artificial general intelligence (AGI) closer to reality.
The keynote opened with an assertion that AI capabilities have
“It's starting with video, but over time Omni will be able to generate any output from any input. This was always our goal with Gemini and why we built it to be multimodal from the very start. It was a harder path, but the foundation is now paying off.”
