Gemini’s October drop brings powerful AI upgrades to your work and home

Google has released its October Gemini drop, which includes an enhanced LaTeX rendering for better compatibility with Canvas, allowing users to copy formulas, edit them, and download as PDFs. Canvas has been updated to align more closely with Google Slides, enabling the creation of visually appealing slides. The update also introduces Gemini for Google TV, allowing users to engage in natural conversations about shows and receive personalized recommendations, though it is currently limited to TCL QM9K series devices, with plans to expand to other models later. Additionally, the Veo 3.1 update enhances the video generation model with more realistic textures, improved sound quality, and better narrative control.

Google Translate is about to tap into Gemini for more reliable translations

Google Translate is introducing Gemini, which enhances translation accuracy, especially in Advanced mode. The app now offers two modes: Fast for quick translations and Advanced for more nuanced results. Currently, Advanced mode supports English-Spanish and English-French translations, with plans to expand language options. New features include a practice tool, improved Conversation mode, and an AI upgrade for sharper translations. A model picker allows users to switch between Fast and Advanced modes easily. The user interface has been redesigned, with the voice input button moved to the right side and other buttons repositioned for better usability.

Gemini is working to clean up how it handles Canvas previews (APK teardown)

Google has been refining its Gemini platform for over a year, introducing enhancements such as Canvas for document creation and code editing. Currently, users generating web code with Canvas are redirected to a separate Chrome custom tab for previews. However, an APK teardown of the Google Android app version 16.26.64.sa.arm64 indicates that Google is working on allowing code previews directly within the Gemini app, which would streamline the workflow and reduce navigation issues. This change aims to provide a more cohesive user experience, although the mobile interface may still be less expansive than the web version.

Tech Talk: Can you really build an app or game with an AI chatbot?

Google Gemini is a tool introduced at the Google I/O event designed to assist developers by generating code from text prompts. It has been trained on a wide range of freely available code examples, enabling it to understand various programming languages. While AI can help build applications and games, the quality of the generated code often lacks the finesse and creativity of human developers. AI excels at following instructions but struggles with originality. It can assist in organizing app elements, constructing foundational code, identifying syntax errors, and managing routine tasks, thereby streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity.
