At a Google DeepMind Gemini Audio launch event, the highlight was a live demo: ordering sushi in English from a Japanese-only speaker, with Gemini Live translating the conversation in real time — and the sushi arrived, flown in fresh from Japan that morning. The author praised the team's string of launches this week and said they've been having fun testing the new models.
