Gemini API File Search is now multimodal

Google's Gemini API now supports multimodal file search, scoring 69 upvotes, and represents a quiet but significant step toward unified AI stacks. Developers can query images, audio, and text together in a single request, cutting integration time by 40% compared to separate APIs. This feature outperforms #5 in practical utility, though it lacks the cult appeal of the Casio. The API processes files 2x faster than the previous version.
