Google I/O 2026 keynote starts May 19 at 10 AM PT with announcements spanning AI, Android 17, and developer tools. Expected: Gemini version bump with interface refresh and unified native multimodal model with larger context windows; proactive agentic capabilities (codename 'Remy'); Aluminum OS — the unified Android/ChromeOS operating system; and Veo/Lyria creative suite updates. Transition framing: 'from an operating system to an intelligence system.'
