Since launching in 2021, our Android Earthquake Alerts System has sent 1B+ alerts. Now we’re expanding the system from 98 to nearly 200 countries and regions.
Proud how this technology can help in moments that really matter. As one example, when the devastating earthquakes hit Venezuela this year, millions of people outside the epicenter got alerts and could take cover before the shaking began.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Launching soon as a beta feature in the Gemini app for #Pixel10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S26 series, you can offload multi-step tasks directly to Gemini.
Simply long-press the power button and ask Gemini to help book you a ride home or reorder your last meal. Gemini will work seamlessly in the background, so you can keep using your phone.
ALT A product shot of a Pixel phone, centered against a simple light lavender background. The phone displays its home screen with an abstract blue and dark gradient wallpaper and customized Material You widgets. At the top of the screen is a prominent notification from 'Gemini' (Google's AI), complete with the Gemini spark and DoorDash logos. The notification text reads: ''Finish up your task. I've prepared your order. Complete it in the DoorDash app." Below this is an action button labeled 'Open DoorDash'. Two other key Material You widgets are visible: a wavy-circle shaped clock widget displaying 'Tue 3' and an analog time, and a circular weather widget displaying '68°' with a sun icon. The top status bar shows 9:30, battery, and signal. A row of themed app icons and a Google search bar are at the bottom. Positioned below the phone, smaller black text states: 'Supervise closely, interrupt when needed. Select apps, devices, and markets only. Compatibility and availability varies. 18+.

Dear @Wendys @dunkindonuts @SUBWAY
It’s alarming to see your representatives in Georgia (🇬🇪) openly supporting sanctioned regime (Georgian Dream). This contradicts the values of freedom and democracy your brands represent globally.
I urge you to investigate and take action!
