Google I/O 2026: Gemini Omni Flash, Spark Agent, and Antigravity Code Clone
On Tuesday, Google's I/O event was largely eclipsed by the news of Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic's pre-training team, led by Nick Joseph, to spearhead a new initiative utilizing Claude for pre-training research. Anthropic is set to invest $1.25 billion monthly in compute resources, anticipating a revenue of $10.9 billion for the June quarter, with its first operating profit, potentially exceeding OpenAI's valuation, which may soon pursue an IPO. Google unveiled Gemini Omni Flash, designed for video generation and editing, and introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash, which has a knowledge cutoff of January 2025. Additionally, Antigravity is an AI coding agent app, while Gemini Spark, a personal agent for Workspace, is 'coming soon.' OpenAI announced a model that solved a well-known math problem, and Figma launched a design agent. In other developments, Cohere introduced Command A+, and a compromised VS Code extension was found to exfiltrate approximately 3,800 GitHub repositories.
