 Here are the recent additions and updates to the Gemini API and the Cookbook: 
 
+* **Grounding with Google Maps:** Get started using factual geographical data from 📍 Google Maps in your apps! See the Google Maps section of the [Grounding Guide](./quickstarts/Grounding.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Grounding.ipynb).
 * **Gemini 2.5 models:** Explore the capabilities of the latest Gemini 2.5 models (Flash and Pro)! See the [Get Started Guide](./quickstarts/Get_started.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Get_started.ipynb) and the [thinking guide](./quickstarts/Get_started_thinking.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Get_started_thinking.ipynb) since they are all thinking ones.
-* **Gemini Image** (aka. nano banana): Use [Gemini's native image generation](./quickstarts/Image_out.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Image_out.ipynb) capabilities to edit images with high consistency or generate visual stories.
-* **Veo**: Get started with our video generation model with this [Veo guide](./quickstarts/Get_started_Veo.ipynb)! [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Get_started_Veo.ipynb)
+* **Gemini Image** (aka. 🍌 nano banana): Use [Gemini's native image generation](./quickstarts/Image_out.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Image_out.ipynb) capabilities to edit images with high consistency or generate visual stories.
+* **Veo 3.1**: Get started with our video generation model with this [Veo guide](./quickstarts/Get_started_Veo.ipynb), including image-to-videos and video extension! [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Get_started_Veo.ipynb)
 * **Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5**: Learn about this new Gemini model specifically for spatial understanding and reasoning for [robotics applications](./quickstarts/gemini-robotics-er.ipynb). [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/gemini-robotics-er.ipynb)

 * **LiveAPI**: Get started with the [multimodal Live API](./quickstarts/Get_started_LiveAPI.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Get_started_LiveAPI.ipynb) and unlock new interactivity with Gemini. 
 * **Recently Added Guides:**
-  * [Grounding](./quickstarts/Grounding.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Grounding.ipynb): Discover different ways to ground Gemini's answer using different tools, from Google Search to Youtube and the new **url context** tool. 
-  * [Batch-mode](./quickstarts/Batch_mode.ipynb) [![Colab](https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/colab_icon16.png)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/Batch_mode.ipynb): Use Batch-mode to send large volume of non-time-sensitive requests to the model and get a 50% discount.
