谷歌云首席执行官托马斯·库瑞安表示,Gemini 将成为“你全新的单一通用工作助手”,这一宣言与谷歌一贯的可靠性、客户服务和长期产品支持历史一样无可动摇。这里的“长期”指的是,在 308 款已停用的产品和服务中,其平均寿命约为 4.1 年,平均寿命则约为 5.4 年。这还不包括 Gmail 和搜索等经久不衰的成功产品。
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said that Gemini will be "your new single, universal agent for work," a declaration as unassailable as Google's history of consistency, customer service, and long-term product support. Long-term here means a median lifespan of about 4.1 years and a mean lifespan of about 5.4 years across 308 discontinued products and services. That doesn't include enduring successes like Gmail and Search.
或许 Gemini 注定能达到那样的长寿水平。在一篇改编自他在“Gemini at Work 2026”活动上演讲稿的博客文章中——对于谷歌而言,用一部衍生作品来宣传 Gemini 还有什么比这更合适的呢?——库瑞安阐述了他两年前对一款名为 Bard 的人工智能服务的构想。他表示,Gemini 了解你的业务背景——也就是数据——因此可用于问答、内容创作和编程等各种任务。
Perhaps Gemini is destined for that level of longevity. In a blog post adapted from the prepared remarks he spoke at the Gemini at Work 2026 event – and what could be more appropriate for Google than to herald Gemini with a derivative work? – Kurian laid out his vision for an AI service known as Bard only two years ago. Gemini, he said, has your business context – which is to say, data – and thus can be used for various tasks like question answering, content creation, and coding.
“它能规划工作,运用技能和工具,连接你的系统,并在你已有的文档、收件箱和开发环境中交付最终成果,”库瑞安说。“它能根据任务选择最佳模型,具备内置的成本控制功能,最重要的是,还拥有你公司所需的安全、管理和治理能力。”库瑞安在活动现场的实际发言更为简洁。“今天,Gemini 已成为一个助手,”他说。
"It plans the work, uses skills and tools, connects to your systems, and brings back something finished — inside the documents, the inbox, and the developer environments you already work in," Kurian said. "It chooses the best model for the job, has built-in cost controls, and most importantly, has the security, administration, and governance required by your company." Kurian's actual remarks at the event were more succinct. "Today, Gemini became an agent," he said.
“你赋予它的是目标,而不仅仅是指令。它能规划工作,运用自定义技能和工具,连接你的系统,并交付最终成果。”作为谷歌企业客户,当 Gemini 负责规划、执行和交付时,你可能会好奇自己在这其中扮演什么角色。当然,总有《扫雷》游戏,以及那些需要体力劳动和人类尊严的工作可供选择。谷歌母公司 Alphabet 首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊在谷歌云活动开场时,进行了“自我报告统计数据宣读”——这是技术官僚仪式中常见的环节。
"You give it objectives, not just instructions. It plans the work, uses custom skills and tools, connects to your systems and brings back something finished." You might wonder what role you play in all this as a Google Enterprise customer, when Gemini is planning, executing, and delivering. There's always Minesweeper and hunting for a job that involves physical labor and human dignity. Sundai Pichai, CEO of Google parent Alphabet, opened the Google Cloud event with the Recitation of Self-Reported Statistics, a common ritual in the technocratic liturgy.
“企业采用AI的速度比大多数人意识到的要快,”他说。“近80%的Google Cloud客户都在使用我们的AI产品。而且他们不仅在使用,还在高强度地使用。在过去一年中,有近500家企业客户在平台上各自处理了超过1万亿个token。”皮查伊还花时间称赞了Google最新的模型Gemini 4 Argon,指出它在DeepSWE v1.1编码基准测试中的得分为77.9%,超越了竞争对手的Claude Opus 5.5、Claude Fable 5.1和GPT-6 Astra模型。
"Enterprise adoption is moving faster than most people realize," he said. "Nearly 80 percent of Google Cloud customers are using our AI products. And they are not just using it, they're using it intensely. Nearly 500 enterprise customers have each processed over 1 trillion tokens on our platform in the last year." Pichai took time to praise Google's latest model, Gemini 4 Argon, noting that it outperforms rival models Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Fable 5.1, and GPT-6 Astra on the DeepSWE v1.1 coding benchmark with a score of 77.9 percent.
他还表示,在Google内部,Gemini 4 Argon将提交代码后的回滚率降低了30%,同时使员工通过智能体提交的代码量增加了35%。随后,库里安继续介绍了客户成功案例,列举了Google Cloud客户声称实现的各种生产力提升。他说,日本电信企业NTT Docomo通过使用数据智能体每年节省了45万小时的工作时间。当然,实际效果可能因情况而异。
And within Google, he said, Gemini 4 Argon has reduced post-submit code rollbacks by 30 percent while increasing agentic code submissions from employees by 35 percent. Kurian then continued the customer success report by citing various claimed productivity gains from Google Cloud customers. Japanese telecom biz NTT Docomo, he said, has saved 450,000 hours annually using data agents. Your mileage may vary.
不过,库里安对Gemini“唯我独尊”特性的强调并不完全准确。理论上,Gemini是统一的。它能在Gmail、Dive、Docs、Slides、Sheets、Chat和Calendar中作为一个统一界面运行。用户可以在iOS、Android、Windows和Mac桌面端访问它,此外还支持在启用时或无头操作模式下通过第三方应用访问。由于它部署在Google Cloud上,因此能够保留上下文信息。
But Kurian's emphasis on the solipsism of Gemini isn't entirely accurate. Gemini is unified in theory. It works within Gmail, Dive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Chat, and Calendar as a single surface. It can be accessed across iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac desktops, not to mention third-party applications where enabled or during headless operations. It resides in Google Cloud so it retains contextual info.
但任何智能体都不是孤立存在的。就像其名称所源自的双星系统一样,Gemini也有多个组成部分。“它可以动态创建一系列子智能体——这些是临时且针对特定任务的智能体,每个都有自己的身份——以处理多步骤任务,”库里安说道,或许他高估了为这些衍生进程命名所带来的吸引力。此外,Gemini智能体与其可能调用的各种模型也存在区别,即使其中某个模型可能是Gemini 4 Argon。
But no agent is an island. Just like the stellar twins for which it's named, Gemini has more than one moving part. "It can dynamically create a roster of sub-agents — temporary, job-specific agents, each with their own identity — to tackle multi-step tasks," said Kurian, perhaps overestimating the appeal of naming spawned processes. And the Gemini agent is distinct from the various models it may call upon, even if one of those might be Gemini 4 Argon.
“它会针对每项任务运行最合适的模型——目前会在我们的 Gemini 模型系列和 Anthropic 的 Claude 模型之间进行协调,未来还将整合其他领先的私有和开放模型,从而提供最佳质量并降低您的成本,”库里安解释道。活动期间,库里安重点介绍了 Gemini 如何继承现有的企业控制机制。“每个 Gemini 代理都有独立的身份,与您的身份分离,”他说。
"It runs each job on the model that fits best — orchestrating across our Gemini family of models and Claude models from Anthropic today, and other leading private and open models in the future — to deliver optimal quality and lower your costs," Kurian explained. During the event, Kurian highlighted how Gemini inherits existing enterprise controls. "Every Gemini agent has an identity of its own, separate from your identity," he said.
“您的策略可以像管理员工一样直接作用于它:只需设置一次策略,即可在所有地方统一应用,而非逐个代理设置。您可以在代理开始运行前设定预算,该预算将覆盖全部工作成本。”这听起来是个承诺,但企业成本控制机制的存在本身恰恰说明成本可能失控。就在两个月前,谷歌才刚刚为代理推出了灵活的计费和成本控制功能。
"Your policies reach it the very same way they reach your people: set the policies once, apply them everywhere rather than agency by agent. You set its budget before it starts and that budget covers the whole cost of the work." That's the promise, but of course the very existence of enterprise cost control mechanisms suggests costs can get out of hand. It was only two months ago that Google introduced flexible billing and cost controls for agents.
然而,管理 AI 支出仍然是一个尚未解决的问题。正如《华尔街日报》最近指出的那样:“企业几乎已无法为 AI 支出制定预算。”今年 7 月,AI 成本管理公司 Coworker AI 曾指出,Gemini Enterprise 有两款产品很容易让人混淆。而现在我们被告知,其实只有一款。且用且珍惜吧。®
Managing AI spending, however, remains an unsolved problem. As noted by the Wall Street Journal recently, "Spending on AI Is Becoming Almost Impossible for Businesses to Budget." Back in July, AI cost management company Coworker AI observed there were two Gemini Enterprise products that could easily be confused. Now we're told there's just one. Enjoy it while it lasts. ®
