Google's New Gemini Omni AI Is Too Much. All The Good Stuff From Google I/O.

Google I/O 2026 just dropped Gemini Omni, a world-model AI that simulates physics, edits video, and might be the biggest leap since Seedance 2. But it's not perfect.

Gavin and Kevin break down everything from Google I/O 2026, including the launch of Gemini Omni (Google's new world model), Gemini 3.5 Flash benchmarks against GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7, the Gemini Spark personal agent, AskYouTube, Docs Live, new AI glasses, the first search box redesign in 25 years, and the shocking news that Andrej Karpathy is joining Anthropic.
