The rollout of updates for Gemini for Home is currently in progress, enhancing the performance of compatible devices such as Nest. These improvements focus on camera capabilities, utilizing insights gained from the Early Access program to refine AI vision models. Key changes include the Familiar Face algorithm, which now filters out low-quality images and emphasizes clearer shots for improved detection accuracy.
Furthermore, the update enhances the Home Brief feature, allowing it to provide better descriptions of unidentified individuals, particularly when their faces are not entirely visible. Animal detection has also seen advancements, with improved ability to differentiate between dogs and cats from a distance and to recognize their colors in dim lighting conditions.
Scheduled for full deployment by December 22, 2025, these updates will be available on Gemini for Home enabled cameras, including those from Nest. Google anticipates further adjustments and enhancements as the new year approaches, marking a significant step in its international expansion into Canada.
