𤯠Gemini Isnāt Just Chat Anymore
+ Built in 3 days...Open-source agent outperforms GPT-4o, Microsoft builds a science-first AI stack, and Apple opens its AI models to outside developers for the first time

A glimpse into the future of AI.
Google I/O 2025 event was chaos in the best way. Google rolled out a full AI operating system: 3D video calls, autonomous agents, Gemini Live, and native video generation. Then Flowith came through with Agent NEO, an open-source agent thatās already outscoring GPT-4o and built to handle real workflows from end to end.
At Microsoft Build 2025, we saw the debut of Discovery, a science-first agentic platform backed by NVIDIAās most powerful chips. And now Appleās getting in the mix, opening up Apple Intelligence to third-party developers for the first time ever.
Letās get into it.

I/O 2025: Googleās AI Vision Is Now a Product Line
Last year we unveiled Project Astra on the #GoogleIO stage. See how itās evolved since then ā and what might be possible in the future.

At I/O 2025, Google launched an entire AI operating system for the real world. Googleās CEO, Sundar Pichai outlined a clear shift: turning impressive research into real, useful products. This year wasnāt about vague AGI timelines or abstract model benchmarks. It was about deployment, at scale. From 3D video calls and autonomous agents to AI-powered search and native video generation, the pieces are clicking into place. The Gemini era isnāt just on the way. Itās already here.
ā”ļø Event Highlights:
Google Beam: Turns video calls into lifelike 3D conversations using 6 cameras and AI-powered depth tracking. Launching with HP later this year.
Gemini 2.5 Pro + Flash: Flash is fast and low-cost for real-time tasks. Pro adds āDeep Thinkā for complex reasoning. Both models are now live across Googleās stack.
AI Mode in Search: A full reimagining of Google Search with support for longer, layered queries and natural follow-ups ā now rolling out in the U.S.
Agent Mode (from Project Mariner): A web-browsing agent that learns by watching. Complete a task once, such as filtering listings or booking a tour, and Gemini can automate it from there. Built on Googleās Agent2Agent and Model Context Protocol (MCP) systems.
Gemini Live (from Project Astra): Real-time, multimodal assistance powered by your phoneās camera and screen. Use it for interview prep, live troubleshooting, and more. Now live on Android, iOS coming soon.
Android XR Glasses: Google teamed up with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to launch smart glasses powered by Gemini. They offer real-time translation, navigation, and AI assistance.
AI Video & Image Generation:
Veo 3: Googleās most advanced video model yet ā it generates full-length, high-quality clips with cinematic motion, coherent scenes, and now native audio. Think ātext-to-videoā on steroids.
Imagen 4: Their sharpest, most photorealistic image model to date.
Flow: AI filmmaking tool for building story-driven video scenes from simple prompts.
Google isnāt just building AI models. Itās building the interfaces, agents, and tools that weave AI into the fabric of how people work, search, create, and communicate. With over 400 million people already using Gemini, I/O 2025 it confirmed that AI is now core to Googleās product ecosystem, and central to how billions will interact with technology next.

Built in 3 Days, Agent NEO Is What AI Agents Were Meant to Be
ā Introducing World #1 Infinite Agent - infinite steps, infinite context, infinite output on cloud.

A new open-source AI agent just dropped, and itās pushing the limits of what agents can do. Built in 3 days by a 10-person team from Flowith at the Vibe Hackathon, Agent NEO is designed to do what others canāt: handle infinite steps, massive context, and unlimited tools. Think workflows that run for hours or days, AI that remembers everything, and an interface that feels more like Notion meets AutoGPT ā but in the cloud.
š§© Key Features
Infinite Steps - Run workflows that never time out. From building full apps to writing entire books or managing multi-stage projects.
10M Token Context - Enough memory to process huge codebases, entire research docs, or continuous input over long sessions.
Unlimited Tools (Oracle Framework) - Dynamically integrate tools like image generation, online search, scraping, and even prompt chaining ā no hard limit.
Multimodal Collaboration - Upload files (PDFs, Excel), chat in real time, and use a multi-threaded canvas to work with multiple agents in one place.
Cloud Execution (10 Petaflops) - Tasks run in the background. Perfect for long-running, compute-heavy jobs.
Knowledge Garden - Automatically breaks down uploaded content into āseedsā to create structured, searchable knowledge maps.
Benchmarks - Scored 90% on GAIA Level 3, outperforming GPT-4o and Claude 3.7 in complex, multi-step tasks.
Agent NEOās open-source release has already gained traction, racking up 3K+ GitHub stars and buzz across the AI dev community. Its canvas-first, infinitely scalable design offers a glimpse at how real AI agents might work, not just for chat, but for building, thinking, and doing. Itās early, but this could be a preview of how AI agents will actually replace traditional UIs.

Microsoft
Microsoft Discovery: Agentic AI for Faster Science
At Microsoft Build 2025, the company unveiled Microsoft Discovery ā a new AI platform designed to accelerate scientific research using agentic AI, where domain-specific agents work together across the entire R&D process. The goal is to move from idea to breakthrough faster, with a system thatās transparent, scalable, and built on high-performance AI infrastructure.
š What Makes Discovery Different
AI Agents for Science
Domain-specific agents (for hypothesis generation, simulation, literature review, etc.) work together under a Copilot-style assistant to drive scientific progress collaboratively.Graph-Based Reasoning
Uses a graph-based engine to connect datasets and uncover relationships, enabling agents to reason through conflicting results and trace outputs back to their sources.NVIDIA-Powered Accelerations
Integrates ALCHEMI for chemical simulations and BioNeMo for drug discovery, delivering faster predictions, candidate generation, and access to pretrained AI workflows.Real-World Impact
Microsoft researchers used Discovery to develop a novel coolant prototype for data centers ā in under 200 hours, compared to months or years with traditional methods.
š Why It Matters
While companies like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic have explored AIās role in science, many early efforts have struggled to translate into real-world breakthroughs. From overstated material discoveries to drug candidates that didnāt make it through trials, results have often fallen short of the promise. Microsoft is taking a more focused approach by combining domain-specific agents, transparent reasoning, and scalable infrastructure to support real scientific progress.
With support from NVIDIAās GB200 GPU clusters and RTX AI PCs, Microsoft Discovery is positioned not just as an assistant, but as a foundational tool for accelerating research across disciplines.
Apple
Apple Is Finally Opening Its AI Models to Developers
Apple is opening up its on-device AI models to third-party developers, giving them access to Apple Intelligence through a new SDK expected to launch at WWDC 2025. This will let developers build apps that tap directly into Appleās lightweight, privacy-focused language models ā all running locally, with no cloud processing. Itās a major shift toward enabling smarter iOS apps while staying true to Appleās privacy-first architecture.
The move signals a broader change in Appleās approach to AI. By opening up access to its models, Apple is setting the stage for a full-scale developer ecosystem ā one that rivals Googleās Gemini Nano but emphasizes on-device speed, security, and OS-level integration. Itās more than a dev feature ā itās Apple officially making AI core to the future of its platform.
