What’s happened? Google is lighting up AI Mode in Search for a lot more people, starting today. The rollout adds support for more than 35 new languages and 40-plus new countries and territories, pushing availability past 200 countries worldwide. It is powered by the latest Gemini models, which handle natural language and visuals.
This is important because: AI Mode is changing how people search, not just where it is available. Longer, conversational queries mean you can describe the problem in your own words and still get a useful answer. With Gemini handling language and visuals, Search becomes like an assistant.
Why should I care? Instead of wasting time chopping questions into keywords, you can just talk in your language and get a clear answer that blends text, images, and context. It’s faster with less guesswork.
Okay, so what’s next? The rollout is staggered, so expect a quiet switch-on over the next week. You may see AI Mode appear in the Google app and mobile web, or desktop, depending on your region.
AI mode is only as good as your curiosity, so treat it like a guide. You can ask follow-up questions or add a photo to see how far a better question can take you.

Google Research suggests AI models like DeepSeek exhibit collective intelligence patterns
The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
