Google heads into its annual I/O developer conference as a perceived third-place finisher in the foundation model race, particularly in AI coding where Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex have pulled ahead. Key areas to watch include a potential coding comeback via an updated Antigravity agentic coding platform, new scientific AI tools building on DeepMind's Nobel Prize-winning strengths, and the public launch of Google's AI Health Coach.
