Friends,

Exciting times ahead. Next week might not just be “another week” — it could be a reset. There are fresh (and frankly wild) rumors about Gemini 3.0, and Google’s NotebookLM just leveled up in a way that’s actually useful, not just shiny.

And as always, jobs. But this time, we put them first!

NotebookLM: Video Overviews & more

NotebookLM has quietly become one of Google’s best products — and the latest update is a proper upgrade.

You can now spin up Video Overviews (AI-narrated slide-style explainers) from your sources, alongside Audio Overviews, interactive Mind Maps, Reports, and new Flashcards/Quizzes for study or onboarding packs. If you haven’t tried it in a few months, it’s a different tool now.

Here’s an **in-depth alt text** for the image you provided: --- **Alt text:** A rectangular interface labeled **“Studio”** shows six colorful, rounded rectangular buttons arranged in two columns and three rows. * The **top-left button** is light blue with a small icon of soundwave lines and titled **“Audio Overview.”** A small pencil icon in a gray circle on the right suggests it can be edited. * The **top-right button** is pale green with a play icon and titled **“Video Overview.”** It also has an edit pencil on the right. * The **middle-left button** is light purple with a connected-nodes icon and titled **“Mind Map.”** * The **middle-right button** is beige with a document-like icon and titled **“Reports.”** * The **bottom-left button** is soft red with a stacked-cards icon and titled **“Flashcards.”** It has an edit pencil icon. * The **bottom-right button** is light blue with a question-mark-in-a-square icon and titled **“Quiz.”** It also includes an edit pencil icon. At the top, there’s a search bar labeled “Studio” and a small square grid icon on the right, possibly for layout or navigation. The interface uses a clean, minimal design with soft pastel backgrounds and distinct icons for each module, implying a dashboard or workspace for creating and managing educational or multimedia content. --- Would you like me to make it **WCAG 2.1-compliant alt text** (optimized for accessibility screen readers), or do you prefer **descriptive alt text for documentation or design specs**?

The new Video Overviews also bring visual styles (think Whiteboard, Watercolor, Retro Print, Heritage, Papercraft, Anime) powered by Google’s image generator, nicknamed Nano Banana (built on Gemini 2.5 Flash Image).

Name’s goofy; output’s solid.

Oh, and they now also have an app.

Gemini 3.0: leaks vs reality

Nothing is official yet, but multiple outlets point to an October window for Gemini 3.0 testing/announcements.

The chatter notes massively stronger coding, better multimodal reasoning, and deeper product integrations.

Treat the specific benchmark numbers flying around as rumors until Google or a reputable leaderboard posts them.

My read: expect meaningful gains, but don’t plan your roadmap around unconfirmed specs.

About those benchmarks: this isn’t rumor territory anymore. People are already hands-on with Google-posted checkpoints, running Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE) and other tough suites — and the early insights are already crazy.

We’re seeing real, repeatable jumps in multimodal reasoning and coding, not just cherry-picked demos. Directionally: a legit step up.

Mind-blowing examples:

That's all for this week!

Keep building, keep learning, and don't forget to feed your digital pets.

All the best,
🙇Martin
