#Google Gemini updates

Reddit users have recently discovered that Gemini 2.0 Flash, the latest iteration of Google's in-house Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool, can be used to remove watermarks from images. Google has renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook, expanding its reach across the Gemini app and Google Search. Google is also bringing notebooks directly into the Gemini app, with full cross-app syncing between the two platforms. While Gemini Notebook remains a standalone research tool, Google is rolling out an update that gives every notebook a secure cloud computer, allowing it to write and execute code natively for more accurate data analysis. Google says active users of the Gemini app in Southeast Asia more than doubled over the past year. Google has unveiled the new Google Home Speaker, its first smart speaker built specifically for Gemini, the company's AI-powered voice assistant. There is new information that points toward a likely partnership with Google to build its voice assistant off a version of Gemini. Rather than relying strictly on its own hardware, Apple is looking to rely on Google's Gemini AI model running on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell B200 data center graphics chips.
