Google I/O 2024: 100 things Google announced

5. We shared Project Astra: our vision for the future of AI assistants.

6. We announced Trillium, the sixth generation of our custom AI accelerator, the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). It is the most performant TPU to date.

7. Compared to TPU v5e, Trillium TPUs achieve a 4.7x increase in peak compute performance per chip.

8. They’re also our most sustainable generation: Trillium TPUs are over 67% more energy-efficient compared to TPU v5e.

9. And we demoed an early prototype of Audio Overviews for NotebookLM, which uses a collection of uploaded materials to create a verbal discussion personalized for the user.

10. We announced that Grounding with Google Search — a tool that connects the Gemini model with world knowledge, a wide possible range of topics or up-to-date information on the internet — is now generally available on Vertex AI.

11. We added audio understanding in the Gemini API and AI Studio, so Gemini 1.5 Pro can now reason across image and audio for videos uploaded in AI Studio.

12. Starting with Pixel, applications using Gemini Nano with Multimodality will be able to understand the world the way people do — not just through text input but also through sight, sound and spoken language.

Generative media models and Labs experiments

13. We announced Imagen 3, our highest-quality image generation model yet.

14. Imagen 3 understands natural language and intent behind your prompts and incorporates small details from longer prompts. This helps it generate an incredible level of detail, producing photorealistic, lifelike images with far fewer distracting visual artifacts than our prior models.

15. Imagen 3 is also our best model yet for rendering text — a challenge for image generation models.

16. We rolled out Imagen 3 to Trusted Testers in ImageFX and you can sign up to join the waitlist.

17. Imagen 3 will also be coming to Vertex AI this summer.

18. Then we announced Veo, our most capable video generation model yet. It generates high-quality 1080p resolution videos that can go beyond a minute, in a wide range of cinematic and visual styles.

19. We’ll also bring some of Veo’s capabilities to YouTube Shorts and other products in the future.

20. We showed off what Veo can help artists do by collaborating with filmmakers — including Donald Glover, who experimented with Veo for a film project.

21. We highlighted Music AI Sandbox, a suite of music AI tools that allow people to create new instrumental sections from scratch, transfer styles between trackers and much more. You can find some brand new songs from these collaborations — including one from Wyclef Jean and another from Marc Rebillet — on YouTube now.

22. And be sure to check out Infinite Wonderland, an experience where artists and Google creatives experimented together to fine-tune an AI model to endlessly reimagine the visual world of the novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Readers of Infinite Wonderland can generate seemingly infinite images for each one of the 1,200 sentences in the book based on each artist’s respective style.

23. We announced VideoFX, our newest experimental tool that uses Google DeepMind’s generative video model, Veo, and lets you turn an idea into a video clip.

24. It also comes with a Storyboard mode that lets you iterate scene by scene and add music to your final video.
