You can’t talk about AI image generation without including Google’s nano banana models, for good reason. The two versions, the original (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) and the new pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), have only been around for a couple of months, but they’ve quickly redefined what’s possible with AI image generation and editing. 

The pro version uses Gemini 3’s reasoning model to power results. That means it takes a little bit longer to generate, but the images are more detailed. You can also add swaths of legible text to your images, an industry first. The pro version is the best AI image generation tool CNET has ever tested, hands down. But that isn’t necessarily a good thing. Continue reading “Nano Banana Pro Is the Best AI Image Tool I’ve Tested. It’s Also Deeply Troubling” →

In a world where we ask artificial intelligence to summarize articles and create images, scientists have now tasked an AI with a much bigger challenge: finding a new way to fight cancer. And it just delivered a promising lead.

Google, on October 15, announced a major scientific milestone: an AI model from its Gemma family has helped uncover a potential new way to treat cancer.

In collaboration with Yale University, researchers at Google DeepMind and Google Research developed Cell2Sentence-Scale 27B (C2S-Scale), a massive 27 billion parameter AI model designed to understand the “language” of individual cells.

It doesn’t get more “nice news” than this: In a historic medical first, a pioneering gene therapy successfully slowed the progression of Huntington’s disease by 75% in a clinical trial. The breakthrough offers new hope for the tens of thousands living with the devastating hereditary condition, which progressively destroys brain cells and impairs movement, cognition, and behavior — and until now, there was no treatment capable of slowing or halting its advance.
