From data centers floating in space to AI agents doing your shopping, here is everything Sundar Pichai revealed in the last few months:

1. Data centers in space (yes, for real)

Perhaps most futuristic of all, Sundar Pichai announced that Google would begin constructing AI data centers in space starting in 2027, as part of Project Suncatcher. This initiative seeks to better harness solar energy by locating its data centers closer to the sun.

“We want to put these data centers in space, closer to the sun,” he said in a recent Fox News interview. He elaborated that the sun generates 100 trillion times more energy than what we create on Earth today.

Google will begin by launching small racks of machinery inside satellites to test the technology before scaling up. Sundar believes that, a decade hence, space-based data centers would be considered the normal way to build them out. First prototype satellites launch in partnership with Planet, a satellite imagery firm.

2. Gemini 3 Pro is here & it’s seriously smart

Just recently, Google released Gemini 3 Pro, and early results are suggesting this is a massive leap forward; the new model bests Gemini 2.5 Pro by over 50% in benchmark tests, with some of its biggest gains in coding and reasoning tasks.

Developers are already singing their praises. Many early users say that they see a big difference in code quality and problem-solving, and several call it a game-changer for dealing with difficult coding tasks. For the first time, there will be much better performance in complicated, multistep problems that have stumped AI assistants up until now.

Rollout is now happening in the Gemini app, with limits said to be higher still for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. If you have been waiting for AI that can tackle truly complex problems, this might be the moment.

3. Deep Think mode can really think!

For subscribers to Google AI Ultra, there’s an even more powerful tool: Gemini 3 Deep Think. This advanced mode of reasoning employs multiple rounds of iterative thinking to explore different hypotheses at the same time, which makes it especially adept at solving math, science, and logic problems.

Unlike the quick response that is usually returned by the AI, Deep Think does take a few minutes to ponder over complex tasks. Users choose Deep Think on the prompt bar, submit their question, and Gemini lets them know when the response is ready. It’s for those problems where careful consideration brings better results than fast answers.

Equipped with creativity, strategic planning, and step-by-step improvement, the feature literally gives a powerful thinking partner to researchers and developers.

4. Gemini Enterprise: AI for your whole company

Last October, Sundar introduced Gemini Enterprise, aimed to drive AI capability for each employee in the organization. Unlike simple chatbots, this platform can integrate company data, tools, and applications into one secure system.

Early adopters like HCA Healthcare and Best Buy are seeing results. The platform allows employees to chat with the company’s data and build custom AI agents for certain workflows. With 65% of Google Cloud customers using AI products today, the enterprise push represents a bet that business transformation demands wide-ranging integration, not just standalone AI tools.

Google Cloud recently reached the $50 billion annual revenue run rate, with much of the growth triggered by AI adoption. Thirteen product lines now gross over $1 billion annually.
