Under the hood, AI Mode uses our query fan-out technique, breaking down your question into subtopics and issuing a multitude of queries simultaneously on your behalf. This enables Search to dive deeper into the web than a traditional search on Google, helping you discover even more of what the web has to offer and find incredible, hyper-relevant content that matches your question.

AI Mode is where we’ll first bring Gemini’s frontier capabilities, and it’s also a glimpse of what’s to come. As we get feedback, we’ll graduate many features and capabilities from AI Mode right into the core Search experience. Starting this week, we’re bringing a custom version of Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent model, into Search for both AI Mode and AI Overviews in the U.S.

We also showed new advanced capabilities coming to AI Mode, which will be launching first in Labs in the coming months, to get feedback and input from power users. Read on for more.
