Cognitive warmup. I'll be unwaveringly straightforward here. No Indian origin tech CEO said a word about US President Donald Trump's 'retruth' of a Truth Social post that was critical of India as a country, Indian origin immigrants in the United States and birthright citizenship abuse.
Google's AI models aspire to deliver real impact. Google DeepMind detailed three AI model releases—Gemma 4, Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite and Veo 3.1 Lite—focused on helping build what they call as India's AI ambition.
Google says Gemma 4 can be used to build customisable and offline accessible solutions for India's education as well as agricultural sectors—key is its ability to process video and images on-device.
Google DeepMind pitches Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite as a cost-effective building model—cost being the highlight here, at $0.25 per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens.
For a developer or a small business, these costs can add up fast. Not just app developers, but the pitch for this model is for building public services too with the specific angle of mixed-language voice commands.
Google DeepMind says programmers can plug into Veo 3.1 Lite to embed high-quality video generation directly into apps.
Nothing has rolled out a tool called Essential Voice. Think of this as a dictation app that puts a speech in order in correct, polished text transcription, in more than 100 languages.
