TL;DR Gemini is taking some inspiration from ChatGPT.
There are now suggestion chips on Gemini's homescreen.
Google also appears to have made a tweak to the greeting text.
Save for a brief, friendly greeting and text box at the bottom, Gemini's homescreen is fairly empty. However, Google could fill up some of that unused space by taking an idea from one of its rivals.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
While digging into the Google app (version 16.24.66.sa.arm64 beta), we discovered a couple of changes to the Gemini homescreen on Android. As mentioned earlier, the current version of this homescreen is fairly empty, with nothing standing between you and asking Gemini whatever is on your mind. In this beta version, however, we found that Google could add chips to the homescreen.
Old Gemini homescreen
New Gemini homescreen
ChatGPT homescreen
These chips provide suggestions for different ways you can use Gemini, including Talk Live, Create Image, Create Video, Build, and Research. These chips don't work quite yet and seem to be early in design as they lack icons. If you're familiar with ChatGPT for Android, it has a similar layout for its homescreen. You can see a comparison of Gemini's new homescreen vs ChatGPT's homescreen in the screenshots above.
In addition to this change, we also noticed that the greeting is slightly different. While it still features a gradient style, fewer colors are shown.

Linux Foundation Report Finds Organizations Embrace Upskilling and Open Source to Meet AI-driven Job Demands
Data reveals 94% of organizations expect AI to add significant value to operations; expanding AI-specific roles to workforce DENVER, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Source Summit North America -- The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today released its 2025 State of Tech Talent report in collaboration with LF Research and Linux Foundation Education. Based on insights from more than 500 global hiring and training leaders, the report highlights AI's growing influence on tech roles, preparedness for the workplace shift, and leveraging open source and upskilling to meet new demands. "Organizations are realizing that moving from pilot programs to widespread AI success depends not on access to tools but on having a workforce equipped to use them effectively. A recent report by BCG's AI practice notes that 70% of AI transformation is determined by the people and the processes supporting it," said Clyde Seepersad, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Linux Foundation Education. "The 2025 State of Tech Talent report reflects what we're seeing in the industry – a growing recognition that investing in training and hands-on experience is not just a talent strategy, it's a business strategy. The organizations making the biggest strides in AI implementation are those treating upskilling as a core capability, not a side initiative." AI Adoption Outpaces Capabilities and Widens the Skills GapAI is a game changer for many organizations, with 94% expecting AI to add significant value to their operations. However, less than half of organizations have the core AI skills necessary to adapt to the changing landscape, preventing them from achieving their full business and innovation potential. The report found that: 68% of organizations are lacking AI/ML skilled employees; an issue exacerbated by the ongoing staffing challenges in other areas like cybersecurity and compliance (65%), FinOps and cost optimization (61%), cloud computing (59%) and platform engineering (56%) 44% of respondents shared that the shortage of skilled workers is a major barrier to technology adoption Half of organizations surveyed report they are expanding their AI-specific workforce, hiring in new roles including AI/ML operations engineering leads (64%) and AI product managers (36%) "With the exponential increase of AI usage and heightened expectations for return on investment, comes the need for new skills – and new roles altogether," said Frank Nagle, Advising Chief Economist of the Linux Foundation. "But value is not derived just from the AI itself. The AI revolution is not just a technology acquisition race, but a catalyst for human capital transformation. In order to remain competitive in this new global landscape, organizations need to look at building their AI workforce from within." Making the Most of Changing Workflows with UpskillingEmerging technology and skills gaps are already impacting workflows. Two-thirds of organizations say AI has significantly changed how their teams work. Developers are increasingly required to validate AI-generated code, AI expertise is now expected for incoming hires, and many entry-level tasks are being automated by AI. In response, organizations are doubling down on upskilling. The report found that: 72% of respondents prioritize upskilling existing staff, up from just 48% in 2024 Upskilling is 62% faster than hiring new talent and technical training programs are 91% more effective at improving retention 71% of organizations consider certifications important when recruiting new talent, evidencing their role in validating professional competence 56% of organizations rely on upskilling over hiring or contracting to fill AI/ML skill needs Open Source: The Unexpected Employee Engagement and AI EnablerOpen source also plays a strategic role in AI implementation as 40% of respondents leverage open source frameworks, models and tools to accelerate AI adoption. The survey shows that organizations embracing open source practices see stronger employee retention and skill development, with 91% of organizations report technical training as an effective tool for talent retention and 84% say having an open source culture improves retention. Additionally, a report from the Linux Foundation and Meta, The Economic and Workforce Impacts of Open Source AI, shows that open source culture enables interorganizational collaboration, resulting in faster development of high-quality models and AI innovation. "The data is clear," said Seepersad. "AI is driving a sweeping shift in how technical work is done, and organizations that align their upskilling strategies with the realities of AI-driven workflows and enable open source collaboration will be best positioned to compete in the years ahead."

For Clues On AI's Impact On Jobs, Watch Today's Tech Jobs
We know artificial intelligence – particularly generative and agentic AI – is reshaping jobs. But the exact impact is still a great unknown. But the impacts we're already seeing in tech jobs, many of which are at the forefront of the AI, generative AI, and agentic revolution – may provide clues to where things are going – a crucible for the AI-shaped job market of the near future. For starters, there doesn't appear to be evidence that AI is sweeping away jobs. There's even some evidence that it may help increase, rather than reduce jobs, particularly for technology occupations. There has been no noticeable impact on graduates starting out in the job market, and there's even been growth in white-collar jobs, an analysis published in The Economist shows. The researchers cite the relative immaturity of AI development – only 10% use AI on a enterprise scale – and it's primary role as a productivity platform. In addition, looking more closely at tech roles, at least seven in 10 technology leaders surveyed by one major analyst firm, 69%, indicate they're planning to increase headcounts – at least within technology areas – to build genAI capabilities. Technology jobs are the first category being reshaped by AI, a recent study out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta confirmed. The category of 'computer and mathematical occupations' saw demand for AI skills grow from two percent of postings in 2010 to 12% of postings in 2024. Other occupational groups, including architecture and engineering; business and financial operations; and management, are also seeing increasing proportions of AI within their job descriptions. AI and genAI 'are already changing the set of skills employers are demanding from the workforce,' the Fed survey suggested, with the percentage of job postings requiring AI-related skills increasing steadily. "Demand for AI skills is rising not just in computer and mathematical occupations but in a broader set of occupations, which they attribute to the increasing technical capabilities of AI to perform more tasks." Industry observers point to technology roles as examples of how jobs are evolving to hybrid mixes of human and genAI and agentic AI-led tasks. Notably, the latest evolution of AI – agents – are poised to take on more tasks within a range of jobs. AI agents 'can take a goal, break it into subtasks, and work on finding the best solution for these tasks individually,' aid Andreas Welsch, founder and chief AI strategist at Intelligence Briefing. 'Agents have access to additional information, tools, and resources – for example, code repositories, APIs, or websites. They can take on specialized roles such as an architect, software engineer or QA tester, and work on tasks within the typical scope of that role.' This doesn't mean AI will pick up tasks and business will go on as usual. 'Firstly, it is a complete paradigm change in how we use and interact with software systems,' said Chris Burchett, senior vice president for genAI at Blue Yonder. "Secondly, it is evolving at an unprecedented pace never before seen." To break in and thrive in such a world, Burchett advises "not to wait. You have to get started using the technology immediately. Second, you must have staying power to evolve with the changes because that is the only way to keep up and learn the unique capabilities AI unlocks. Third, you need to an abstraction layer that allows you technical agility to move across different models, frameworks and providers with minimal rework.' At the same time, the role of AI has limits. "AI might initially perform at a junior coder's level, 'but still requires human input and oversight,' Welsch pointed out. 'This means that human software developers will still need to define the project, its objectives and personas, and the expected behavior of an application. Users will need to acquire this knowledge as well as learn how to communicate with agentic AI systems to derive the most relevant results quickly.' While large language models have been trained on historic data and are able to generate code, 'this code is not always the most efficient implementation of a solution,' he added. Importantly, 'just because the AI-generated code is functional doesn't automatically make it secure. Additional tools or humans in the loop are needed to conduct security reviews of the generated code to mitigate any loopholes.' AI in general, "has the opportunity to amplify – not eliminate – human talent," said Gajen Kandiah, AI and enterprise transformation leader and former president and COO of Hitachi Digital. 'This is not about whether AI replaces developers. It is about how the role of developers—and the systems they create—are being redefined. The truth, as with most meaningful shifts, sits in the nuance. We will not see the future of engineers vanish. Instead, they'll evolve into AI trainers, strategic integrators, and problem-solvers." One thing is clear, Kandiah continued. 'The best developers will not be those who write the most lines of code – but those who design and deliver the most impact by partnering with intelligent systems." This applies to all workers as well, as the ability to work with AI to create new approaches to problems and opportunities will be a necessity in the months and years ahead.
