What Google Cloud announced in AI this month – and how it helps you

In March, we made big strides in our models and accessibility – from announcing Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent AI model, to Gemma 3, our most capable and advanced version of the Gemma open-model family. We also introduced Gemini Code Assist for individuals, a free version of our AI coding assistant. 

In the industry, we shone light on telecom and gaming. We went to Mobile World Congress, where we displayed key agent use cases where AI is becoming an imperative in telecom. At the same time, we talked to leaders in the games industry, who told us how they’re using Google Cloud AI to drive unprecedented advancements in game development, including smarter, faster, and more immersive gaming experiences. 

Top announcements 

The Gemini family is growing – we introduced Gemini 2.5, a thinking model designed to tackle increasingly complex problems. Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental leads common benchmarks by meaningful margins and showcases strong reasoning and code capabilities. Learn all about it here.

We also introduced Gemma 3, the most capable model you can run on a TPU or GPU. To help you get started, we shared guides on how to deploy your AI workloads on Cloud Run and Vertex AI.

In the world of open-source, we announced Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Anthropic’s most intelligent model to date and the first hybrid reasoning model on the market, is available in preview on Vertex AI Model Garden. Claude 3.7 Sonnet can produce quick responses or extended, step-by-step thinking that is made visible to the user. Explore our sample notebook and documentation to start building.

Finally, we took a step forward in security. We introduced AI Protection, a set of capabilities designed to safeguard AI workloads and data across clouds and models — irrespective of the platforms you choose to use. Our Office of the CISO suggests these five do-it-today, actionable tips on how leaders can help their organizations adopt AI securely.
