Google Launches AI Coding Agent "Jules" Out of Beta

Google has officially released Jules, its AI-powered coding agent, after two months in public preview. Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, Jules automates coding tasks asynchronously — cloning GitHub repos, spinning up Google Cloud VMs, and fixing or updating code while developers work on other things.

Unlike synchronous tools like Cursor or Lovable, Jules can run tasks independently in the background, even when your computer is off.

With the full launch, Google has introduced tiered pricing:

• Free: 15 tasks/day

• Pro ($19.99) and Ultra ($124.99): higher task limits

Jules now includes GitHub pull request integration, environment snapshots, and support for empty repos. It also clarified that private code is never used for AI training.

Used by both developers and AI hobbyists, Jules is now being adopted internally at Google and sees high usage from mobile devices — especially in India and the U.S.

Google Launches Guided Learning Inside Gemini

Google has unveiled Guided Learning, a new feature inside Gemini designed to act like an AI tutor — helping students understand concepts step-by-step instead of just providing answers. It follows OpenAI’s recent launch of Study Mode, marking a shift toward AI-powered critical thinking tools.

With Guided Learning, Gemini explains concepts using images, videos, diagrams, and quizzes, adapting to the learner’s pace. It aims to tackle concerns that chatbots are harming education by giving answers too easily.

Google is also enhancing Gemini with flashcard and study guide generation, and now includes richer media like YouTube videos directly in responses.

As part of this education push, Google is offering free 1-year AI Pro subscriptions to students in the U.S., Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and Brazil.

Microsoft Brings OpenAI’s Free GPT Model to Windows 11

Microsoft is making OpenAI’s new open-source model, gpt-oss-20b, available on Windows 11 via its AI Foundry platform, allowing users to run advanced AI tools locally.

Optimized for agentic tasks like coding and tool use, gpt-oss-20b is lightweight and runs on PCs with 16GB VRAM, ideal for developers building AI assistants in low-bandwidth environments.

The model supports text-only tasks, performs well with code execution and tool calls, but comes with a caveat — it hallucinates in 53% of tests on OpenAI’s PersonQA benchmark.

Microsoft will expand support to macOS and more devices soon and also host the model on Azure AI Foundry for cloud deployment.

This move strengthens Microsoft’s strategy to democratize AI by bringing powerful open models directly to developers' devices — no cloud dependency required.

It also signals a broader shift towards local AI compute, giving users more control over data, cost, and performance.
