Google rolled out a major Gemini update in June 2026, led by the powerful 2.5 Pro model with a new Deep Think mode.
The release added a redesigned app, new agents, and a video model as Google pushes Gemini beyond a simple chatbot.
Google is now positioning Gemini as a full work system spanning search, voice, coding, and Android.
Google Gemini 2.5 Pro and the Update
Google described Gemini 2.5 Pro with Deep Think as its most capable model ever released.
The model offers a 2 million token context window, double what many rivals provide.
Deep Think lets the model reason more carefully through complex, multi-step problems.
Benchmarks suggested it ranked among the strongest publicly available models from any lab.
As TechCrunch reported, Google is targeting ChatGPT and Claude directly.
New Gemini Features and Apps
The Gemini app gained a Daily Brief feature and a fully redesigned interface.
A new design language called Neural Expressive brings fluid animations and haptic feedback.
Google added Gemini Omni, a new AI video model, to the app’s toolkit.
A personal AI agent called Gemini Spark also debuted in the update.
Gemini for Developers
Gemini 3.5 Flash reached general availability as a fast model for agentic and coding tasks.
Google billed it as ideal for sustained, frontier-level performance on automation work.
The older Gemini CLI reached end of life on June 18, 2026.
It was replaced by a new Agentic 2.0 CLI that developers must migrate to.
