Google I/O 2026 dropped Gemini Omni, a world-model that simulates physics, edits video, and might be the largest AI video leap since Seedance 2.

We got hands on with Gemini Omni, Gemini 3.5 Flash, and reacted to the surprise move that might give Anthropic a massive leg up.

Gavin and Kevin break down everything from Google I/O 2026, including the launch of Gemini Omni (Google's new world model), Gemini 3.5 Flash benchmarks against GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7, the Gemini Spark personal agent, AskYouTube, Docs Live, new AI glasses, the first search box redesign in 25 years, and the shocking news that Andrej Karpathy is joining Anthropic.

GOOGLE I/O 2026 JUST CHANGED THE GAME. WE WERE THERE FOR ALL OF IT.
