Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: Android XR, New Gemini AI upgrades, AI Ultra subscription and everything announced

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: From Gemini updates to Android XR - everything Google announced  

Google I/O 2025 has kicked off with a wave of AI-first innovations headlined by Gemini’s deeper integration across platforms. One of the biggest announcements is Android XR, which brings Gemini AI to smart glasses and headsets, offering real-time translation, messaging, and navigation via hands-free interaction. Stylish collaborations with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, plus an optional in-lens display, promise sleek, practical wearables.

Gemini is also getting smarter—AI Mode in Google Search turns queries into conversations, while Personal Context proactively helps based on user data. Gemini 2.5 Flash, launching in June, delivers faster, more efficient performance with new multilingual text-to-speech tools.

Project Astra, Canvas, Agent Mode, and Google Beam hint at an AI-centric future for mobile, productivity, and communication. With over 400 million Gemini users already onboard, Google is doubling down on intelligent assistance—right from your glasses to your inbox.

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: Google unveils premium AI subscriptions - AI Pro and AI Ultra

At I/O 2025, Google launched two AI subscription plans: Google AI Pro ($19.99/month) and Google AI Ultra ($249.99/month). The Pro plan enhances the Gemini app with tools like Flow and NotebookLM, offering higher usage limits. The Ultra plan provides access to Google's most advanced AI models, early access to experimental tools like Agent Mode and Veo3, and is ideal for power users. Currently available only in the U.S., the Ultra plan is 50% off for the first three months.

At Google I/O, Android unveiled its XR platform powered by Gemini, bringing AI assistance to smart glasses and headsets. These devices offer hands-free help by seeing and hearing your world, enabling real-time messaging, navigation, and even live translation. Stylish eyewear from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker will integrate the tech, while Samsung joins in expanding XR beyond headsets. An optional in-lens display gives private, on-the-go info. Developers can start building for Android XR later this year. With privacy at the forefront, Google is testing prototypes to ensure a truly helpful and respectful AI-powered wearable experience.

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: Gemini gets smarter with Personal Context and Canvas

Google’s Gemini is levelling up! With Personal Context, it now uses your search history to offer personalised, proactive help, like reminding you about upcoming exams or suggesting tailored info before you even ask.

Plus, Canvas brings a new way to co-create with Gemini, letting you design infographics, podcasts, and more—all with AI-powered collaboration.

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: AI Mode is bringing Gemini to Google Search

Google Search is getting a major upgrade with the introduction of AI Mode, a new feature that brings the power of Gemini directly into your search bar.

Think of it as having a smart chat assistant built into Search, ready to handle complex queries and respond to follow-up questions in real time. With just a tap, AI Mode transforms your usual search experience into an interactive, conversational one.

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: Project Astra and Gemini Diffusion set the stage for AI on Phones and XR

Google is seemingly preparing to launch Project Astra on smartphones, aiming to make Gemini your personal AI assistant. For the first time, Gemini is also heading to Android XR, bringing its intelligence to extended reality platforms.

Meanwhile, Gemini Diffusion is making headlines by generating code 5x faster than Google’s lightest 2.5 model. It analyses prompts in a blink, solving complex tasks almost instantly.

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: Meet Gemini 2.5 Flash - Smarter, faster, and more efficient than ever

Google is once again pushing the boundaries of AI performance with the introduction of Gemini 2.5 Flash, a streamlined yet powerful version of its flagship model. Set to launch alongside Gemini 2.5 Pro in June, this new model promises major improvements in both speed and efficiency — and it’s already available for early access through Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and the Gemini app.

Described as “better in nearly every dimension,” Gemini 2.5 Flash has been engineered to deliver the same high-quality outputs while being 22% more efficient, meaning it uses fewer tokens for the same responses. This is a significant upgrade for developers and enterprises looking to optimise performance without sacrificing accuracy or depth.

One of the most exciting features arriving with this update is a new preview of text-to-speech capabilities. Powered by both Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro, this feature supports 24 languages and introduces fluid language switching, even mid-conversation without changing the voice.

Google I/O 2025 LIVE Updates: Gemini gets smarter - Project Mariner, Agent Mode and more coming soon

Google is steadily expanding the capabilities of Gemini, its powerful AI assistant, and the latest updates are poised to make it even more proactive and intelligent.

At last year’s I/O event, Google introduced Project Mariner, a bold vision for AI-powered task automation. Soon, features from Project Mariner will be integrated into the Gemini API, allowing Gemini to carry out tasks on your computer autonomously — without needing direct input every time. 

Another exciting development on the horizon is Agent Mode. Designed to understand your goals and take actions on your behalf, Agent Mode takes automation a step further. Whether you are trying to schedule meetings, organise files, or manage your inbox, Gemini will be able to handle it for you, turning intentions into actions.

Gmail is set to get an upgrade this summer — but only for Gemini Advanced subscribers (at least initially). The platform will soon offer Personalised Smart Replies, using context and tone to craft more relevant, thoughtful responses tailored to each email you receive.

Google Beam is an AI-powered video communication platform designed to transform standard 2D video into a lifelike 3D experience.
