Google has expanded its AI Mode, initially rolled out last month, to include multimodal capabilities through its Lens feature. This enhancement allows users to analyze various objects in images and receive advanced responses to complex queries. The updated AI Mode is now available to Google One AI Premium subscribers and will also be accessible to millions of experimental users in the U.S. Additionally, Google has announced its commitment to adopting the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard developed by Anthropic AI, which connects AI models to tools and data, enhancing their functionality. This protocol is expected to be integrated into Google's Gemini models and SDK, further advancing the company's enterprise AI offerings.
