#GoogleIO had some very cool presentations this week, the best of which might be a product keynote from the Go team on everything that’s new in Go 1.25 and Go 1.26. Check out everything we launched in the last year and what we’re thinking about in the year to come. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4ln...

Go 1.26 has a lot to love, including significant performance improvements that are completely transparent to Go developers. Just upgrade and your Go programs run faster -- no other changes required!

Announcing Genkit Go 1.0! The SDK is now stable and production-ready. The 1.0 release introduces the genkit init:ai-tools command for seamless integration with AI coding tools, with built-in support for tool calling, RAG, and more. ➡️ goo.gle/487gyzJ

An announcement graphic that reads "Genkit Go is ready for production use (with Gopher)" with the Go mascot, the Gopher, in the corner.

An infographic on a dark background with green text boxes. The top box describes "Type-safe AI flows with Go structs and JSON schema validation." The bottom box highlights a "Unified model interface supporting Google AI, Vertex AI, OpenAI, Ollama, and more." A large green opening curly brace { is on the left side of the graphic.

An infographic with a dark background and orange text boxes. The top box says "Tool calling, RAG, and multimodal support." The bottom box says "Rich local development tools with a standalone CLI binary and Developer UI." Between them are icons of a laptop, an oval, and a puzzle piece.

A dark background graphic with a red text box at the top stating, "Try our AI coding assistant integration in Gemini CLI by entering." Below it is a pink box with the command genkit init:ai-tools. To the left is a large pink semicolon icon, and to the right is the light blue Go Gopher mascot looking at the command.
