AI platforms are constantly evolving to meet the growing needs of users. Google’s Gemini consistently drops new features so users can get as much use out of their AI partner as possible. The most recent Gemini Drops included custom soundtrack generation, advanced image models, and improved intelligence for complex problems.
What’s New with the February Gemini Drops?
February 2026 brought lots of exciting new features to Gemini. Visit the Gemini Drops page to see all the latest features.
Lyria 3
Lyria 3 is Gemini’s advanced music model, which allows users to generate 30-second music clips in beta. All they have to do is describe the type of song they want and/or use relevant images, and Lyria will generate a custom song that fits the vibes they’re looking for.
Nano Banana 2
Last year, Gemini released Nano Banana, an advanced studio-quality image generator. In the newest version, images are generated faster than before with better quality. You can also add text of any language to the generated images.
Gemini 3.1
Gemini 3.1 Pro is Google’s newest and most advanced AI model. It has improved on a wide range of benchmarks from Gemini 3, but its most notable upgrades are its improved ability to handle deep reasoning, complex challenges, and demanding workflows. These updates make it better for productive tasks, such as getting clear explanations for complicated topics and bringing creative ideas to life.
Veo Templates
For help creating videos, you can now use a gallery of templates for inspiration. Select a sample video that you love and offer details to make it unique. For example, if you love the style of a video template featuring pigs, you can ask the AI to recreate the video’s style using different animals.
Verified Scientific Citations
Gemini’s update makes it easier than ever to find sources that matter. It can quickly provide links to relevant scientific papers, even formatting citations as requested. This can help you find high-value sources to back up your research without having to dig through pages of search results.
