Google is rolling out its AI-powered ‘Ask Photos' search again – and it has a speed boost
After quietly pausing the rollout of Google Photos' AI-powered 'Ask Photos' search tool, Google is now expanding access once again and making some improvements to the feature. Google's Gemini AI models power Ask Photos so that you can ask complex questions to help you find photos. But earlier this month, a member of the Google Photos team said on X that the feature 'isn't where it needs to be, in terms of latency, quality and UX.' In a blog post published Thursday, Google said that it has 'heard your feedback' that the feature should 'return more photos faster for simple searches, like 'beach' or 'dogs.'' Now, 'you'll now see results right away while Gemini models continue to work in the background to find the most relevant photos or information for more complex queries,' according to Google. The company adds that the feature is now 'opening up beyond early access' and is beginning to roll out to more 'eligible users' in the US.

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Anthropic
AI developer Anthropic had a big year, more than doubling revenue while competing head-to-head with larger rivals OpenAI and Google. But President Daniela Amodei is clearly proudest of one thing above all. 'Claude has grown up so much,' she says, referring almost maternally to Anthropic's flagship AI model. Claude—whose latest iteration launched in May—has fewer monthly active users than OpenAI's ChatGPT. But it's beloved in some circles for its coding ability and creativity. Founded by OpenAI refugees who distrusted Sam Altman's plan for monetizing AI, Amazon-backed Anthropic tries to balance growth and safety, pledging to not release updates to Claude until it has met strictly-defined internal safety requirements contained in the company's 'Responsible Scaling Policy.' That policy is voluntary and non-binding, but Anthropic Chief Scientist Jared Kaplan contends that it has pushed the AI industry in the right direction. 'If our competitors see us doing this well, then they'll feel more incentivized to copy us,' he says. Disclosure: Investors in Anthropic include Salesforce, where TIME co-chair and owner Marc Benioff is CEO.
