Google I/O 2026 landed yesterday — Gemini Omni, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Antigravity 2.0, Spark, and Demis Hassabis closing the keynote on the "foothills of the singularity." About forty minutes before he walked on stage, Andrej Karpathy tweeted that he'd joined Anthropic. The rest of the day was the labs sorting themselves around both events. Today's show works through the announcements, the pricing shifts, the keynote demo that boots Doom, the Railway outage that happened while Google was selling Spark, and a builder's 100K-line Rust postmortem that's a sharper picture of agentic coding than anything on the I/O stage.
