Google's Gemini is testing a new format for showing sources and links, a format that gives publishers and content sources more visibility in its AI answer engine. Google Gemini's AI search results may soon show sources much more clearly, wrote Android Police and via Android Authority.

Gemini even replied to Glenn:
I'm seeing it already and digging the new link treatment. Great addition. 👍
