4 HIGH Simon Takamine (Lead on Notebook LM) Google Labs 39:07 01-ai-native-landscape We’ve just launched the mobile applications finally. So they came out last Monday. And we also launched international audio overviews as well, which was kind of the end of a long road, honestly, of upgrading the underlying AI infrastructure and models away from the very first almost like research grade model that we used for the initial launch to native Gemini audio.
