In this episode, we discuss Microsoft's launch of three in-house MAI models, Google's major Gemini 3 app upgrade, and a wave of new Google AI model releases. Microsoft unveiled MAI Transcribe 1, MAI Voice 1, and MAI Image 2, all built internally without OpenAI, signaling a strategic shift toward its own AI infrastructure integrated with Azure. We also cover Google's Gemini 3 rollout across 200+ countries featuring personalized cross-app intelligence, alongside six new Google AI models including Gemma 4 and Lyria 3, plus four model deprecations. Finally, we explore Google's completed transition from legacy Assistant to Gemini across its entire Home ecosystem.https://www.aiconvocast.comHelp support the podcast by using our affiliate links:Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkvDisclaimer:This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
