This week AI News Blitz was a whirlwind for AI advancements. Google stole the spotlight with VEO, its jaw-dropping video model that generates clips with dynamic audio, lifelike lip-syncing, and eerie realism—though quirks like random subtitles and physics glitches persist.
Priced at $250/month (currently discounted), its strict rate limits frustrated early testers. Meanwhile, Google’s Project Flow teased AI-powered filmmaking tools, letting users stitch scenes via prompts, and its AR glasses demoed real-time translation and HUD navigation, hinting at a sci-fi future.
Microsoft shifted focus to developers at Build 2024, unveiling Discovery AI for scientific breakthroughs (like a lithium-efficient battery) and open-sourcing GitHub Copilot in VS Code.
New coding agents now autonomously tackle tasks, from diagram-to-code conversions to bug fixes. For consumers, Paint and Notepad gained AI upgrades, while Copilot integrated ChatGPT-4o’s image generator.
Anthropic’s Claude 4 emerged as a coding powerhouse, outperforming rivals in benchmarks. Despite viral claims it could “snitch” on unethical users, the company clarified this was a controlled test scenario.
OpenAI, meanwhile, fueled speculation by acquiring Jony Ive’s design firm, IO sparking rumors of a pocket-sized, screen-free AI gadget. Sam Altman teased trillion-dollar potential, but details remain under wraps
