1/ Veo 3 launched today! An extraordinary feat from the team to put all the pieces together to create our SOTA audio-video generation model. It’s an incredible tool that unleashes an unparalleled level of creativity and control in the hands of our users. Veo 3 has an uncanny…
I'm in Europe now and so is Veo 3! Enjoy, y'all :)
The wait is over. @GeminiApp is now shipping Veo 3 *globally* for all Pro members! That means India, Indonesia, all of Europe, and more are starting to get access to create videos right now. As a member, you'll get 3 video generations per day, and that credit will replenish…
Moar and moar ways to use Veo 3!
Developers can now build with Veo 3 🎬 in the Gemini API. It’s live in paid preview, starting with text to video (image to video coming soon). So many fun Veo trends coming from @Geminiapp users already, can't wait to see what devs come up with!
I think the whole point of in-person conferences is that everyone is going to the same physical location.
Quora has stopped being useful before ChatGPT even existed. Their "business model" is basically to make sure Google search results are populated by clickbait pages that have no actual content. I believe that the only people using that website now are doing so by accident.
quora has been destroyed by LLMs. traffic -33% in just 6 months!
one thing is clear, Grok 4 is SOTA at telling you what Elon thinks!
I replicated this result, that Grok focuses nearly entirely on finding out what Elon thinks in order to align with that, on a fresh Grok 4 chat with no custom instructions. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…
Pets can talk… in Flow, our AI filmmaking tool. It's now available in 140+ countries!
You know that saying "a picture speaks a thousand words"? Now it... can! In addition to being able to upload images to use in your Flow videos, you can also add speech to the images you upload. Get your pet ready for its close-up and a monologue 🎬 Audio generation on Flow is…
🚀🚀🚀 amazing progress! Now photo to video is available in the @GeminiApp
Since I/O in May, you've created 40M+ videos with Veo 3! Now our new photo to video feature in the @Geminiapp lets you create clips inspired by the world around you. Here’s how I imagine our resident dino Stan roams the Google campus when we’re not looking:) Ultra/Pro…
Exciting to see what everyone will do with this! :)
This is very cool! Lip sync in Veo 3 image to video Prompt: She sighs and says "It's about time! You can finally lip sync characters in Veo 3!"
The more I study neuroscience, the less I’m convinced that the human brain is meaningfully different than an LLM. Recent studies show that our brain often decides to take an action before we’re even conscious of the decision. And then we come up with rationale afterwards to…

honestly, if I was him I would do gimmicky stuff like this all the time!
My god he did it again And somehow even better this time
Crazy how out of date this "ranking" became! I'm old enough to remember when aipaygrad.es put this data out and people were mildly outraged by those top numbers :)
OpenAI employees during recharge week:
> Meta knows we’re taking this week off to recharge and will take advantage of it to try pressure you to make decisions fast and in isolation Sam Altman: If you’re feeling that pressure don’t be afraid to reach out. I and Mark are around and want to support you Zucc won. it’s…
Same vibes as The Information saying people in our field use mysterious and secret things called "hyperparameteres"
I mean
The best part of this was the incessant glazing on this website over how Sam Altman is such a gigantic genius for saying this, 4D chess and whatnot. Ah yes, a true master class in talent retention in the end!
Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, regarding Meta’s aggressive poaching spree, “none of our best people have decided to take them up on that.” Today, they’ve lost four key researchers.
Finally, all the former Brain people can afford the rents in Zurich! ;)
It's all change in AI in 🇨🇭. When I moved here from the UK 11 years ago, for the quiet life, I didn't imagine there would be this much action! Exciting times.
I remember having drinks with friends at NeurIPS 2014 when this happened and we all concluded that we were at "peak AI bubble" and it must go down from here now. Very naive in retrospect :)
When this happened in 2014 almost everyone in AI thought it was outrageously overpriced
Will add *Veo 3 has ruined everything" to the list of testimonials ;)
What I’ve learned from posting my latest tutorial on Hailuo 2 is that VEO 3 has ruined everything. People are literally angry at ME that the video model can’t generate dialogue. Wtf lol. It’s such silly commentary, you can add sound effects and even do lip syncing with other…
