Google Search has introduced a significant update to its AI Mode, allowing users to conduct visual searches more naturally by asking questions conversationally or uploading images. This update enhances shopping experiences by providing relevant visual results based on user descriptions, supported by a robust Shopping Graph that refreshes product listings frequently. The new features leverage advanced visual understanding and multimodal capabilities to refine search results and improve user engagement.

Mini-o3 introduces an advanced system that enhances tool-based interactions for visual reasoning by supporting deep, multi-turn reasoning and achieving state-of-the-art performance on visual search tasks. The system utilizes a novel over-turn masking strategy to effectively manage response lengths during reinforcement learning, combined with a comprehensive dataset designed for exploratory reasoning. Open-source code and models are provided to facilitate reproducibility and further research.
