Introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS 📣 for expressive, nuanced voice acting, and 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS ⚡️ for high-volume, cost-efficient scale!
Our most expressive, multilingual (100+ languages) speech generation models bring powerful new features for developers and creators alike:
• Voice Design: Craft custom voices across languages, dialects, and accents using simple text prompts
• 2,000+ Prebuilt Voices: A vast, high-fidelity library covering diverse styles and personas
• Voice Replication: Fast, authentic replication with built-in consent verification
• Multi-Speaker Dialogue: Seamless, natural pacing between distinct voices

We’re excited to announce we’re teaming up with @GoogleDeepMind for AI Build Night in Miami.
Bringing together Miami’s AI builders and the AI-curious to explore Gemini, connect with the community, and build what’s next.
Hosted by @SuperteamUSA & @DeepStationAI.
🦩🦩🦩
🎙️ @GoogleDeepMind, @DeepStationAI, and @SuperteamUSA are teaming up for AI Build Night at The DOCK on Thursday, November 5th! 🚀
💥 Anyone can watch a Gemini launch video, but how often do you get to build with Gemini next to the people who make it? Google DeepMind kicks off with back-to-back lightning talks and live demos, then the whole room builds with Gemini in Google AI Studio!
🔸 Google DeepMind on stage:
🔹 Thor Schaeff, Developer Experience at Google DeepMind, on Gemini Audio
🔹 Dmitry Lyalin, Member of Technical Staff at Google DeepMind, on Google AI Studio
🔹 Plus a startup demo, to be announced
🔸 Then, we build:
🔹 Build your own project with Gemini 4 Argon in Google AI Studio
🔹 Mentors on the floor for every skill level, plus food and drinks
🔹 Show what you built at the end, if you'd like
👤 Speaker Spotlight: Thor Schaeff
Thor Schaeff is a Member of the Technical Staff at Google DeepMind, working on developer experience for the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with a focus on Gemini audio. He previously built developer experience teams at ElevenLabs and Supabase, helping Supabase grow from 800 databases to well beyond 1 million, and was a developer advocate at Stripe. In Thor's words: "I help developers build with Gemini."
👤 Speaker Spotlight: Dmitry Lyalin
Dmitry Lyalin is a Member of Technical Staff at Google DeepMind, where he works on Google AI Studio. At Google, he previously led product for the Gemini CLI and for Firebase Serverless, Genkit and Firebase Studio, after 14 years at Microsoft. In Dmitry's words: "My journey started with building simple websites for my friend's parents, and since then, I have never looked back."
📅 Date: Thursday, November 5, 2026
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM ET
📍 Location: The DOCK, Miami

🙇♂️ Thank you to Google DeepMind for building this night with us!
🙏 Thank you to Superteam USA and The LAB Miami for hosting us!
Without our community of 6,000+ global members, none of this would be possible. Together, we will build Miami into a leading global AI & tech center! 🌟

Oh man, that flip is so satisfying also ☺️ Nice cooking @SammmAing 🔥
Okay, Gemini 4 Argon is freaking good at this.
First try in @antigravity, set to High.
A concert ticket you can bend, flip and tear off. Tearing it is so satisfying. It rips one fiber at a time and even the sound is made in code.
The holographic foil shifts as the paper bends. It feels super premium.
The full prompt below.

Hey, no AI posts today. Tough day to be an engineer.
If you are using Railway, LiteLLM, PHP, GitLab, Node (brotli) please check your setup.
Below some helpful links and a prompt for your agent. Check even if you think you aren't impacted.
Don't give up. We're in this together. Help each other out.
Nice quality of life improvement for Gemini TTS: After designing your perfect custom voice in @GoogleAIStudio, you can now easily copy the voice ID for usage in the Gemini API 🚀

Hey @AlaskaAir and @stripe I absolutely love that you're offering Google Pay for the inflight Wi-Fi purchase 🌐💳 but unfortunately it's not working 😕 Can you fix it? 🛠️
TIL 🙈
Sorry for the profanity, friends, Gemini did me dirty on this one 🥺

In the first 72 hours of our Gemini 4 Argon launch, we processed nearly 25T tokens, about 3x what we processed in the same time frame for Gemini 3. See more from @SundarPichai’s conversation with @Kantrowitz on Big Technology Podcast ⬇️
New: I spoke with @sundarpichai about Google's commitment to the AI frontier, how close we are to RSI, balancing DeepMind's compute needs vs. Google Cloud profits, and much, much more.

Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time.
Made with Opus 5.5

This is so relaxing. 😌 I could watch it all day. 🤩
