Google Search transitioned entirely to AI-generated summaries on July 12, 2026. The Gemini 3.5 Flash model now powers all results, fully replacing the traditional ten blue links format.
Users now receive a generated document with embedded source links instead of a ranked index. This final rollout concludes a multi-stage testing period for the world's most visited website.
The strategic shift precedes the anticipated July 17 launch of the more powerful Gemini 3.5 Pro model. This move solidifies Google's AI-first approach to its foundational product amid intense competition for frontier AI models.
