🧠 Google Expands Gemini Ecosystem  

Google has introduced major upgrades to its AI lineup with the launch of Imagen 4 for advanced image generation and a powerful new Gemini function inside Google Sheets.

The Shift:

1. Imagen 4 Launches in Gemini API – Google’s Imagen 4 is now available in both Gemini API and AI Studio, priced at $0.04 per image. Imagen 4 Ultra, at $0.06 per image, offers more precise prompt alignment and higher visual fidelity. Both models outperform Imagen 3 and come with SynthID watermarks for traceability.

2. Two Models for Different Needs – Imagen 4 handles general tasks across styles, while Imagen 4 Ultra is built for high-accuracy use cases like detailed comics or structured prompts.

3. Sheets AI Access and Limits – The new AI function in Sheets is available to Workspace business, enterprise, Gemini Pro/Ultra, and Education users. It supports up to 200 selected cells at a time, and sample prompts like =AI("Write a formal ad copy...") can generate tailored outputs. 

From high-res image generation to smart spreadsheet automation, Google is embedding Gemini deeper into everyday creative and business tools. These releases reflect a growing push to make AI feel native across both developer and productivity ecosystems.

📸 Turn Static Product Photos into Lifestyle Scenes (Using Higgsfield Soul)

1. Upload your product image: Go to Higgsfield Soul and drop in a clean product photo.
   

2. Choose a Visual Style: Pick from options like REALISTIC (for PDPs), Gorpcore (for outdoorsy DTC), or Y2K Posters (for edgy, Gen Z brands).
   

3. Write a vivid scene prompt: Example: “Place this water bottle on a mountain rock with mist and sunrise in the background — styled like a Patagonia ad.”
   

4. Adjust format if needed: Choose 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for Instagram, or 9:16 for Reels.
   

5. Click Generate: In seconds, you’ll have high-end lifestyle imagery, no shoot needed.

Pro tip: Use different styles for A/B testing — “REALISTIC” for trust, “BIMBOCORE” or “NAIL CHECK” for scroll-stopping visuals.

🧑‍💻 Google Launches Gemini CLI

Google has introduced Gemini CLI, a new open-source AI agent that brings its Gemini models directly into developers’ terminals. It’s free to use, runs locally, and offers unmatched usage limits for developers looking to integrate AI into their workflows.

The Shift:

1. A Native AI Terminal Tool – Gemini CLI lets developers ask questions, generate features, debug, or run commands using natural language. It integrates with local codebases, Veo 3 for video, Deep Research agents, Google Search, and connects to external databases via MCP.
   

2. Open-Source and Developer-First – Released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, Gemini CLI is built for community contribution. It supports Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro with a 1 million token context window, and connects with tools like Code Assist and Imagen for advanced content generation.
   

3. Industry-Leading Usage Limits – Free users get 60 requests per minute and up to 1,000 requests per day, double the average usage seen in past trials. 

This is currently the largest free allowance among AI coding tools, positioning Gemini CLI ahead of competitors like Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex CLI. With its open-source foundation, deep integration, and generous limits, it’s a serious new contender in the AI coding ecosystem.
