Protoplanetary gas disks are likely to experience gravitational instabilites (GI's) during some phase of their evolution. Density perturbations in an unstable disk grow on a dynamic time scale into spiral arms that produce efficient outward transfer of angular momentum and inward transfer of mass through gravitational torques. In a cool disk with rapid enough cooling, the spiral arms in an unstable disk form self-gravitating clumps. Whether gas giant protoplanets can form by such a disk instability process is the primary question addressed by this review. We discuss the wide range of calculations undertaken by ourselves and others using various numerical techniques, and we report preliminary results from a large multi-code collaboration. Additional topics include -- triggering mechanisms for GI's, disk heating and cooling, orbital survival of dense clumps, interactions of solids with GI-driven waves and shocks, and hybrid scenarios where GI's facilitate core accretion. The review ends with a discussion of how well disk instability and core accretion fare in meeting observational constraints.

Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet $\beta$ Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek
Direct imaging over 11 years confirms β Pictoris d as a ~2.4 MJup, ~600 K bound companion at ~26 au, coplanar with b and c and consistent with sculpting the debris-disk inner edge.

The 35-Myr old infant planet TOI-837 b has a mildly misaligned orbit
TOI-837 b has a true obliquity of 25.9+7.5-6.3 deg, the first planet younger than 100 Myr with accessible ψ incompatible with an aligned orbit, favoring primordial disc torque followed by disc-driven migration.

Ultraviolet Imaging of SR 12 c with HST/WFC3: Accretion and Variability of a Giant Planet at the End Stages of Growth
HST/WFC3 UV imaging of SR 12 c measures accretion luminosity of 1.65 ± 0.19 × 10^{-5} L_⊙ and rate of 8 ± 2 × 10^{-12} M_⊙ yr^{-1}, placing it at the end stages of giant planet assembly with a full UV-to-sub-mm SED.

Evolutionary tracks of giant planets formed by disk instability
A unified evolutionary model of disk-instability planets, from pre-collapse clump to multi-Gyr cooling, reproduces the dynamical masses of four directly imaged planets and shows metallicity can shift inferred masses b...

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) XXII: Keplerian disk, disk structures and jets/outflows in the Class 0 protostar IRAS 04166+2706
High-resolution ALMA observations of the Class 0 protostar IRAS 04166+2706 reveal a ~22 au disk, a stellar mass range of 0.15-0.39 M⊙ from possibly Keplerian gas motions, and jet knots ejected within the last ~25 years.

Dust density enhancements and the direct formation of planetary cores in gravitationally unstable discs
Self-gravitating spiral waves can concentrate a realistic multi-size dust population enough to collapse into bound planetary cores when the dust-to-gas ratio is about 0.01 and grains reach Stokes numbers near unity.

Turbulence Inhibits Planetesimal Formation in Class 0/I Disks Subject to Infall
In modeled Class 0/I disks with infall and alpha=1e-3 turbulence, the streaming instability cannot form planetesimals because the midplane dust-to-gas ratio stays about an order of magnitude below the required threshold.

The JWST weather report: Unravelling the atmospheric variability of isolated worlds using principal component analysis
SIMP 0136's rotation-modulated spectrum is captured by two principal components — temperature and cloud vertical structure — so its weather reduces to a three-state mixture.
