Google I/O 2025 Live Updates: Google kicked off its annual I/O developer conference today (May 20) at Mountain View, California, US, with an opening keynote that was about AI (at least for the most part).
In a long stream of announcements, the search giant drew the curtains back on the new AI products it has been working on over the past few months, including an AI tool for filmmaking, an asynchronous AI coding agent, an AI-first 3D video communication platform, and more.
It introduced upgraded versions of existing AI models and tools such as Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro, Imagen 4, Veo 3, and Lyria 2, as well as new updates to AI Mode in Search, Deep Research, Canvas, Gmail, Google Meet, etc. Google also announced two new AI subscription plans, the AI Pro plan that will be available globally at $19.99 per month and the pricier $249 per month AI Ultra plan that is being rolled out in the US, with more countries coming soon.
But Google I/O 2025 was not just about AI either. We got a glimpse of how Android XR-powered smart glasses will work in real-world scenarios such as messaging friends, taking photos, or asking Gemini for turn-by-turn directions.
The Indian Express’ Nandagopal Rajan is on-site at the event, bringing you the news as it breaks. Stay tuned for more coverage of Google I/O 2025.
