  "why_included": "Google's June roundup: Gemma 4 12B runs locally in 16GB of memory, Gemini 3.5 Flash adds computer use for desktop, mobile, and browser agents, and Nano Banana 2 Lite ships as a cheaper image model.",
  "summary": "**The gist** Google's monthly recap bundles a busy June: **Gemma 4 12B**, an open model with unified vision and native voice that runs locally in **16GB of memory**; **computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash** for building desktop, mobile, and browser agents; **Gemini Omni Flash** in public API preview; plus Nano Banana 2 Lite for cheaper image generation and Android 17's first Pixel rollout.",
  "practical_implication": "**Why it matters** Two items are directly usable for agent builders: **Gemma 4 12B** makes local, private agent workflows plausible on standard hardware, and **Gemini 3.5 Flash computer use** targets long-horizon automation such as continuous software testing — worth benchmarking against your current browser-agent stack.",
