The evolution of Google’s Gemini AI continues as new features emerge to enhance file handling and user interaction capabilities.
Latest developments: Google is developing functionality that will allow users to discuss uploaded files through Gemini Live, expanding beyond the current file handling capabilities of Gemini Advanced.
- Current Gemini Advanced users can upload and interact with various file types, including text documents and spreadsheets
- The new feature will suggest transitioning to Gemini Live when users upload files
- The functionality aims to leverage Gemini Live’s conversational nature for more dynamic file interactions
Technical insights: Recent discoveries in the Google app beta version 15.45.33.ve.arm64 reveal new code strings pointing to upcoming file handling capabilities.
- New text strings indicate Gemini will prompt users to “Open Live” when handling attachments
- Error handling code suggests a framework is being built to manage file attachments in conversation mode
- The system appears designed to integrate with both direct uploads and Google Drive files
Current limitations: While the groundwork is being laid for enhanced file handling, the feature remains in development.
- The file handling prompts are not yet functional in the current version
- Users cannot currently trigger the new responses or use Live with uploaded files
- The implementation timeline for these features remains undefined
Looking ahead: The systematic implementation of file handling code suggests Google is methodically expanding Gemini’s capabilities while maintaining its focus on user interaction and practicality. The addition of conversational file handling could significantly enhance how users work with documents and spreadsheets through AI assistance, though success will largely depend on the seamlessness of the final implementation.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
