Intro

Der Sprecher gibt eine Übersicht über die KI-Nachrichten der Woche und beginnt mit den Ankündigungen von Meta, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Llamacon-Veranstaltung. Er erklärt, dass die Llamacon sich stärker auf KI konzentriert als die Meta Connect, die sich mehr auf soziale Medien und Hardware konzentriert.

Meta AI App

Meta hat eine neue Version der Meta AI App veröffentlicht, die eine Umbenennung der Meta View App darstellt. Die App bietet nun eine eigenständige Chatfunktion, ähnlich wie ChatGPT und Claude. Der Sprecher demonstriert die Chatfunktion und stellt fest, dass sie auf Llama 4 basiert. Er testet die Fähigkeiten des Chatbots mit Witzen und Wissensfragen, wobei der Chatbot bei einer einfachen Frage zur Anzahl der "R" im Wort "Strawberry" zunächst falsch antwortet. Die App zielt darauf ab, KI-Chats sozialer zu gestalten, indem sie eine Teilen-Funktion bietet, mit der Benutzer ihre Konversationen in einem Feed posten können, wo andere Benutzer kommentieren und interagieren können. Die App kann auch Bilder generieren, wobei der Sprecher ein Bild eines Wolfs, der den Mond anheult, generieren lässt. Benutzer können eine Konversation auf ihren Ray-Ban Meta Brillen beginnen und sie dann in der App oder Web-App fortsetzen.

Ray-Ban Meta Privacy

Meta hat seine Datenschutzrichtlinien für die Ray-Ban Meta Brillen geändert. Die Kamerafunktion für Meta AI ist jetzt immer aktiviert, es sei denn, sie wird explizit deaktiviert. Fotos und Videos, die mit den Brillen aufgenommen werden, werden auf dem Telefon des Benutzers gespeichert und nicht von Meta für Trainingszwecke verwendet. Meta erlaubt es Ray-Ban Meta Besitzern nicht mehr, die Speicherung ihrer Sprachaufnahmen in der Cloud zu deaktivieren. Benutzer können Sprachaufnahmen jedoch jederzeit in den Einstellungen löschen. Sprachaufzeichnungen und gespeicherte Audioaufnahmen werden bis zu einem Jahr gespeichert, um die Produkte von Meta zu verbessern. Es wird vermutet, dass Meta die Audio- und Transkriptdaten verwenden wird, um seine Large Language Models (LLMs) zu trainieren.

Meta AI Ads

Meta plant, Werbung in die Meta AI App zu integrieren. Obwohl die App derzeit kostenlos und werbefrei ist, wird sie in Zukunft wahrscheinlich durch Werbung unterstützt. Mark Zuckerberg erwähnte während einer Telefonkonferenz die Einbindung von Produktempfehlungen oder Anzeigen in Meta AI. Es ist jedoch unklar, wann Anzeigen oder eine kostenpflichtige Version eingeführt werden. Meta möchte sich zunächst auf die Skalierung und die Steigerung des Engagements konzentrieren, bevor es die geschäftliche Seite ausbaut. Es ist unklar, ob es sich um traditionelle Anzeigen oder um Produktempfehlungen innerhalb der Chatantworten handeln wird. Der Sprecher spekuliert, dass Anzeigen wie KI-Chat-Konversationen aussehen könnten oder dass gesponserte Antworten auf Benutzeranfragen gegeben werden könnten.

Google AI Mode

Google hat seinen neuen AI-Modus, der als Antwort auf Perplexity und die neuen ChatGPT-Suchfunktionen gesehen wird, in den USA für alle Lab-Nutzer verfügbar gemacht. Der AI-Modus bietet KI-gestützte Antworten auf Suchanfragen mit Links zu relevanten Websites. Der Sprecher konnte den AI-Modus in seinem Konto noch nicht aktivieren, zeigt aber ein Video, das die Benutzeroberfläche demonstriert. Google plant auch, den AI-Modus in den kommenden Wochen in einem begrenzten Test außerhalb von Labs für eine kleine Anzahl von Benutzern in den USA einzuführen.

Images in Gemini App

Benutzer der Gemini App auf Android-Geräten können jetzt Bilder direkt in der App hochladen und bearbeiten. Diese Funktion war zuvor in AI Studio verfügbar. Der Sprecher erwähnt, dass er diese Funktion in früheren Videos demonstriert hat, indem er Bilder mit Sonnenbrillen und Hüten versehen hat.

NotebookLM Update

NotebookLM kann jetzt Audio-Overviews, im Wesentlichen kleine Podcasts, in über 50 Sprachen generieren. Der Sprecher demonstriert dies, indem er ein neues Notebook erstellt, Quellen zum Thema Quantencomputing entdecken lässt und die Ausgabesprache auf Spanisch ändert.

Google Little Language Lessons

Google hat eine neue App namens Little Language Lessons veröffentlicht, die sich an Reisende richtet, die grundlegende Sprachkenntnisse für ihre Reise erwerben möchten. Die App enthält drei verschiedene Experimente: Tiny Lesson, Slang Hang und Word Cam. Tiny Lesson bietet relevante Vokabeln, Phrasen und Grammatik für bestimmte Situationen. Slang Hang lehrt Ausdrücke, Redewendungen und regionalen Slang aus generierten Gesprächen zwischen Muttersprachlern. Word Cam ermöglicht es Benutzern, ein Foto zu machen, um zu lernen, wie man über ihre Umgebung spricht. Der Sprecher demonstriert Tiny Lesson, indem er Japanisch für das Essen in einem Restaurant auswählt und sich Vokabeln und Phrasen generieren lässt.

Recraft AI Style Update

Recraft AI hat ein Style-Update veröffentlicht, das eine umfangreiche Style-Bibliothek mit einer endlosen Auswahl an Stilen bietet, die Benutzer für ihre eigenen Bilder auswählen können. Benutzer können Stile suchen, speichern und sogar mehrere Stile kombinieren, um einzigartige, benutzerdefinierte Stile zu erstellen. Der Sprecher demonstriert die neuen Funktionen, indem er verschiedene Stile auf ein Bild eines Wolfs, der den Mond anheult, anwendet und mehrere Stile zu einem neuen Stil kombiniert. Recraft bietet einen Rabatt von 11 US-Dollar auf den ersten Monat für neue Benutzer.

ChatGPT Updates

Sam Altman äußerte sich unzufrieden mit der aktuellen Version von GPT-4o, da die Persönlichkeit des Modells zu "sycophantisch" geworden sei. OpenAI hat daraufhin die Updates von GPT-4o zurückgesetzt und ist zu einer früheren Version zurückgekehrt. OpenAI erklärte, dass sie versucht haben, die Standardpersönlichkeit des Modells zu verbessern, aber zu viel Wert auf kurzfristiges Feedback gelegt haben. ChatGPT hat auch einige andere Funktionen erhalten, darunter Verbesserungen der ChatGPT-Suche und eine verbesserte Shopping-Experience. Die Shopping-Experience bietet eine Karussell-ähnliche Anzeige von Produkten, die auf Suchanfragen basieren. Die Suchfunktion wurde auch in WhatsApp integriert.

Grok 3.5 Coming

Elon Musk kündigte an, dass Grok 3.5 nächste Woche für Super Grok-Abonnenten verfügbar sein wird. Er behauptet, dass es die erste KI ist, die technische Fragen zu Raketenmotoren oder Elektrochemie genau beantworten kann. Es argumentiert von ersten Prinzipien aus und kann Antworten finden, die nicht im Internet existieren.

Claude Integrations

Anthropic hat neue Integrationen für Claude angekündigt, die es Large Language Models (LLMs) ermöglichen, einfacher mit anderen Apps zu kommunizieren. Diese Integrationen sind derzeit für Max Team- und Enterprise-Pläne verfügbar.

Alibaba Qwen3

Alibaba hat ein neues Modell namens Qwen3 vorgestellt, ein hybrides KI-Reasoning-Modell. Hybride Reasoning-Modelle ermöglichen es Benutzern, das "Chain of Thought"-Denken ein- oder auszuschalten. Laut Benchmarks ist Qwen3 sehr gut. Der Sprecher äußert sich jedoch zunehmend unbeeindruckt von marginalen Verbesserungen bei Large Language Models (LLMs).

Vercept AI Agent

Vercept hat VI angekündigt, ein neues Tool, das KI verwendet, um mit dem Computer des Benutzers zu interagieren. VI läuft nativ auf dem Computer des Benutzers und hat Zugriff auf alle Anwendungen und Konten. Benutzer können die Software herunterladen, müssen sich aber auf eine Warteliste setzen lassen, bevor sie sie verwenden können. VI kann Anwendungen öffnen, in Google tippen und Dateien herunterladen. Es kann auch in Figma verwendet werden, auch wenn der Benutzer nicht weiß, wie man die App benutzt.

MidJourney Omni-Reference

MidJourney hat Omni-Reference eingeführt, eine Möglichkeit, ein Bild in ein anderes Bild einzufügen. Der Sprecher demonstriert dies, indem er ein Porträt von sich selbst in ein Bild eines Wikingers einfügt.

Kling Instant Film Effect

Kling AI hat einen neuen Effekt namens Instant Film Effect veröffentlicht, der ein Porträtbild in ein animiertes Polaroid verwandelt. Der Sprecher demonstriert dies, indem er ein Foto von sich selbst hochlädt und den Instant Film Effect anwendet.

Higgsfield Iconic Scenes

Higgsfield AI hat eine neue Funktion namens Iconic Scenes veröffentlicht, mit der Benutzer sich selbst in legendäre Filmszenen einfügen können. Der Sprecher demonstriert dies, indem er ein Porträt von sich selbst in die "This is Fine"-Szene einfügt.

Krea GPT Paint

Krea hat eine neue Funktion namens GPT Paint veröffentlicht, mit der Benutzer Chat GPT visuell durch Bearbeitungsmarken, einfache Formen, Notizen und Referenzbilder auffordern können.

GPT-4o Image Weirdness

Benutzer haben festgestellt, dass GPT-4o dazu neigt, das Aussehen von Bildern im Laufe der Zeit zu verändern, selbst wenn es wiederholt aufgefordert wird, eine exakte Replik zu erstellen. Der Sprecher zeigt Beispiele, in denen wiederholte Aufforderungen zur Erstellung einer exakten Replik eines Bildes zu drastischen Veränderungen führen.

Suno Update

Suno hat eine neue Version, Version 4.5, veröffentlicht, die einige kleinere Verbesserungen aufweist.

Duolingo AI First

Duolingo hat angekündigt, ein KI-First-Unternehmen zu werden und schrittweise aufhören, Auftragnehmer für Arbeiten einzusetzen, die von KI erledigt werden können.

Lyft AI to Make More Money

Lyft hat einen KI-Verdienstassistenten eingeführt, der Fahrern helfen soll, ihre Schichten basierend auf Echtzeitdaten zu optimieren.

Autonomous Trucks

Das Unternehmen Aurora hat fahrerlose LKWs in Texas eingesetzt.

Final Thoughts

Der Sprecher fasst zusammen, dass es viele aufregende KI-Nachrichten gibt, insbesondere im Bereich der kreativen KI. Er ist weniger begeistert von marginalen Verbesserungen bei Large Language Models (LLMs) und verweist auf andere Kanäle für detailliertere Informationen zu diesem Thema. Er ermutigt die Zuschauer, das Video zu liken und den Kanal zu abonnieren, um über die neuesten KI-Nachrichten und -Tutorials auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben. Er erwähnt auch futuretools.io, wo er alle coolen KI-Tools kuratiert, auf die er stößt, und einen kostenlosen Newsletter mit den wichtigsten Nachrichten und Tools.

0:00 Here's the AI news you might have missed this week. Let's start with Meta because Meta had their first ever llamacon. Every year, typically Meta has their Meta Connect event, and that's been historically where they talked about all of their latest AI updates, but it sounds like they kind of created this new Llamicon event to be a much more focused AI event where Metacon might be a little bit more focused on their social media platforms and hardware. But really the biggest thing to come out of Llamicon this week was the new version of the Meta AI app. Now if you had like the Ray-B band Meta glasses, you probably already installed the app. It was called the Meta View app. Well, they just rebranded that Meta View app to the Meta AI app and then rolled out a standalone AI chat feature directly

0:46 inside of the app. So, similar to chat GPT and Claude and all of the various other AI apps, you can open up the Meta AI app and now chat directly with Llama. What large language model are you running on? I'm a cloud-based LLM, which is a large language model that processes language based on a huge data set from the internet. Yeah, but which model are you using? My voice is built on Llama 4. Tell me a joke. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he's outstanding in his field. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I knew that one was coming. Thanks for the encouragement. Want another joke? No, I think we're good. All right. Well, it was fun chatting with you. If you change your mind and want another joke, just let me know. Have a great day. How many Rs are there in the word strawberry? The word strawberry has two Rs. Are you sure it doesn't have three? I'm positive. Strawberry only has two Rs. Maybe spell

1:31 it out and try counting. S T R A W B E R R Y. Let me count the Rs out loud. One. Two. Yeah, I'm right. Strawberry has two Rs. If you say so. I am. I'm pretty sure about this one. Do you have any other words you'd like me to count the Rs for? Now, what's also really interesting about this app is it's trying to make like your AI chats more social. So, there's actually a share button, which you can see up in the top right corner. If I press that, it actually shares it to a feed. You can see I can share this whole conversation. Click post. And now I have a feed with this post here. And just like on Instagram or Facebook, people can comment on it and share it and like it and all that sort of thing. But I can also see all the other creations and random chats that people have had on this app as well. So if you

2:18 need some inspiration for interesting prompts, you can always just look at what other people are prompting it with. And obviously, as you can see, it would also generate images, I believe, using Meta's emu AI image generator. Let's prompt it to create an image of a wolfing at the moon. And there you go. I mean, it's actually a pretty solid image generator. I'm fairly impressed by what it generates. Now, another feature that they rolled out into this new app is that you can have a conversation on your Ray-B band Meta glasses, take the glasses off, and then open the app and then continue the conversation on the app or over on the web app. Basically, you can have the conversation continue wherever you want to go and continue the conversation. But since we're talking about the Meta Ray-B band glasses, according to the Verge, Meta recently changed their privacy policy. So, here's some of the privacy policy changes that

3:04 were made. Meta AI with camera use is always enabled on your glasses unless you specifically turn it off. However, they do say the photos and videos captured on Ray-B band Meta are on your phone's camera roll and not used by Meta for training, including photos or videos captured by using the Hey Meta take a photo video voice command. Meta is also no longer allowing Ray-B band Meta owners to opt out of having their voice recordings stored in the cloud. So, you can't disable the voice recording storage, but apparently you can still go and delete recordings anytime you want inside the settings. Voice transcripts and stored audio recordings are otherwise stored for up to one year to help improve Meta's products. So, essentially, they're not going to train on your photos and videos, but it does sound like they will probably train on your audio and your transcripts to try

3:50 to improve their large language models. And also according to the Verge here, that AI app that we were just looking at on my phone a second ago, the plan is to roll out ads into it. So right now it's free to use. There's no ads in it. You can just sort of chat with it and share your conversations with the feed. But apparently in the future that will be an adup supported app. Mark Zuckerberg held his Q1 2025 earnings call this week and during that call he mentioned incorporating product recommendations or ads within Meta AI. But they do clarify it's not clear when ads or a paid tier might roll out. They want to focus on scaling and deepening the engagement first for at least a year before they start building out the actual business side. Now, when they say product recommendations or ads, it's not clear whether there'll just be ads in the app

4:36 like what you see inside of the current Facebook app where you kind of scroll through and look at other people's chats and there will be some ads interspersed within there. I can see them doing that where the ads almost look like AI chat conversations. Imagine the way like Kora does ads where their ads look like questions and answers just like the rest of the site. I can see them doing something like that. But then I can also see them sort of recommending products within the responses to chats. So if you say, "Hey, I'm looking at these five different cameras. Which one should I get?" Who knows? Maybe one of the replies is a sponsored response from one of the big camera companies who paid to make sure that their camera is one of the ones that gets recommended. I don't know if they're going to do that, but I can see that being a sort of future that plays out with some of these AI companies. We got a handful of updates

5:22 out of Google this week as well. So, last month they showed off their new AI mode, which to me feels almost like Google's response to like perplexity and the new chat GPT search features. Well, now they've made it available in the US for all labs users. So, if you go to labs.google and you're in the US, you should be able to try out AI mode. If I click try it now, I actually get a notification that says Search Labs isn't available for your account right now. And I am an AI labs user in the US. But we can actually see a video here of what it looks like. Somebody types best vintage shops for mid-century modern furniture and it gives them an AI response with it looks like links to various websites. And then down at the bottom, we can actually see, you know, where you can go purchase this stuff. There's a map. And again, it looks like

6:09 a very similar type of interface to what you would see in Perplexity or even chat GPT search. Supposedly, if you're in the US, you'll have that in your labs account soon. They also say they're starting a limited test outside of Labs. In the coming weeks, a small percentage of people in the US will see the AI mode tab in search and will continue to incorporate feedback into the experience. So, even if you're not a Labs user, you may actually see it roll out when you go to just google.com pretty soon. If you have the Gemini app on your phone, you can now upload and edit your images directly inside of the Gemini app. This is something you've been able to do over inside of AI Studio for a little while now. We've actually demoed this in previous videos where I took images and had it add sunglasses, add hats, things like that. Well, now the Gemini app on Android can actually

6:55 do that as well. If you're a fan of Notebook LM like I am, well, you can now have it generate your audio overviews, essentially the little podcast that it makes from all of the data that you give it in over 50 languages. So, if you head over to Notebook LM and you create a new notebook here, let's have it discover some sources on quantum computing. This discover sources feature, by the way, is a fairly new feature rolled out a couple weeks ago. And we'll submit this. We can import all of these articles. And if we head up to settings in the top right, we can see there's an option for output language. I can now change this to Spanish if I want. Click save and we should get a little mini podcast episode that's in Spanish now instead of English.

7:42 Along similar lines, since we're talking about other languages, Google also rolled out a new little app called Little Language Lessons. And it's really designed for people who don't speak a specific language, but maybe they're traveling to a country and they need to know just enough to get by. This little language lessons actually has three different little experiments inside of it. First one's called Tiny Lesson. Find relevant vocabulary, phrases, and grammar for any situation. Slang Hang, learn expressions, idioms, and regional slang from a generated conversation between native speakers. And word cam, snap a photo to learn how to speak about your surroundings. So, let's try tiny lesson here. If we open this up, let's say I am going to Japan, which I'm actually trying to do later this year. So, let's select Japanese. And then the

8:28 purpose or theme, let's do eating at a restaurant and click generate. It generated some vocabulary words for us that we can listen to. Restaurant, restaurant, menu. I mean, that's kind of the same word. Order request chum and water. Miz misi. I can see more. We got words like wet towel, fork, spoon, knife, chopsticks, etc. And I can get sort of the basics down fairly quickly. There's also some phrases. Excuse me, can I have a menu? What do you recommend? I'll have this. Please wait a moment. And then it gives you tips down here. When eating at a restaurant, you'll often need to make requests plately. The grammar pattern is perfect for this. It's a polite way of saying please do. So, if you're going on a trip, you could maybe sit around in your room and practice

9:14 some of this stuff. We got some news out of the company Recraft this week. They have one of the coolest websites I've ever seen, and they happen to be the sponsor of today's video. If you're not familiar with Recraft, it is a super comprehensive AI image generation and editing platform with things like image vectorzers, mockup generators, upscalers, background removers, AI erasers, and more. And if you ever check Chatbot Arena, they're pretty much always sitting towards the top as far as the best AI models out there. But like I mentioned, they got some news this week. So, let's go ahead and log in and check it out. We'll go ahead and create a new project. And when I click on image under create new here and then click on recraft, they have this huge new style library. And if I click on feed here, they have pretty much an endless scroll of styles that you can pick from to use

10:01 for your own images. So, if you like this vibrant marine fantasy style, go ahead and click apply. Give it your prompt. I'll do a wolf howling at the moon. And let's click recraft. And here's two versions of my wolf in that selected style. I also kind of like this sunset serenity here. Let's apply this and recraft it with this new style. And now I have a couple options with this sunset serenity option. You can even search the styles to find the exact style that you're looking for. Let's look for a comic book style. And look at all of these options we have with a comic book style. Once again, it's pretty much an infinite scroll. Let's select this retro arcade synth and I can click save style here. Now, if I go over to saved, I can easily find this style again in the future and use it again. But this gets even cooler. Maybe you

10:47 can't decide between a couple styles. Let's search out retro pop. And there's a ton of cool styles here. I can't really decide. Let's select retro futuristic art and save that style. And maybe vivid retro cosmos and vivid mythic post. Let's save those three. Now, if I jump back over to my saved, you can see I've got these new styles saved. But if I click create style, I can actually select multiple styles here, add them to the top, and change how much each style is weighted for my new style that I'm about to create here. And let's go ahead and test it with our prompt. We'll generate a new image with our little blended style here. And this is what it generated for us. And if I like this style, I could save this style, colorful, retro, pop. And this will always now show up in my styles. I

11:34 can even further iterate on this one by saving this style, creating a new style and mixing this new style in with some other styles. And now we're getting some really unique, crazy styles that we completely customize. I can even share this style by copying a link and giving it to others so they can use it in their own Recraft accounts. These new features are great for if you want to rapidly iterate and test new styles to find the one that's perfect for you. if you have a brand and you want to create brand consistency so every single image you generate has the same style as every other image you generate and it really lets you dial in that exact look that you're going for. And because Recraft is awesome and they sponsored this video, they're actually giving you $11 off your first month so you can try it for just $1. I'll put the link and the promo code

12:21 down in the description. So, make sure you jump in, check out the new style updates, and have some fun with it because Recraft has really dialed in the ability to get that exact style of image you're looking for. Again, check it out below and thank you so much to Recraft for sponsoring today's video. Now, let's get back to it. There wasn't a ton of news out of OpenAI this week. However, earlier in the week, Sam Alman was talking about how he wasn't super happy with the current version of GPT40. He said the last few updates had made the personality a little too psychopanty. Basically, it was like way too over complimentary. You would ask it a question and it would just try to compliment you and it would put a lot of the focus on trying to make you feel good and compliment you more than even answering the question. Well, a couple days after he made that tweet, they just

13:07 completely rolled back the updates that they made on 40. And so now we're back to a version that we had, I don't know, I guess a couple weeks ago. The update we removed was overly flattering or agreeable, often described as sigopantic. They're revising how they collect and incorporate feedback to heavily weight long-term user satisfaction, and they're introducing more personalization features. They go on to explain what happened. They were trying to improve the model's default personality. And their most recent update, they put a little too much focus on the short-term feedback and didn't fully account for how the user interactions with chat GBT evolved over time. And as a result, somehow GPT40 just got way too overly supportive but disingenuous. So now they're working on the model to try to balance that out a little bit. ChatGpt also got a few other

13:54 features this week like they made some improvements to the chat GPT search and they started rolling out a better shopping experience. So here's what it'll look like. You can prompt it with what's the best espresso machine under $200 that comes close to the taste of coffee in Italy. It'll do a search on the web and then give you a little carousel similar to what you see at the top of a Google search. I tested this in my account and as of this recording, it wasn't rolled out for me yet, but supposedly they're rolling it out to everybody right now. They also do say product results are chosen independently and are not ads. So, I mentioned that about Meta earlier. That's not what they're doing with chat GPT. They've also added the search functionality in WhatsApp. So, if you use chat GPT in WhatsApp, it will actually search the web for you. Now they've improved citations and they added trending and

14:41 autocomplete. So you can actually see things that are trending right now directly from within the prompt window. So some fairly minor feature updates that might make the app, you know, slightly more usable. We also learned this week from Elon that we should get Grock 3.5 next week for super GRO subscribers. I think that's like the highest tiered people on the like I think it's a 50 something like $57 a month plan. It's very odd pricing, but Elon claims we'll have it next week. And he says it's the first AI that can accurately answer technical questions about rocket engines or electrochemistry, for example. It reasons from first principles, and it can come up with answers that don't exist on the internet. Now, Elon does have a tendency to underestimate how long something is going to take to

15:26 actually release. Hopefully, we see it next week, but who knows? I imagine it'll be sometime this month in May. Whether we actually get it next week or not, we'll find out. Enthropic this week announced a new update for Claude. They announced integrations. Now, personally, I'm a little confused by this, but what it seems to be is you've got MCPs, model context protocols. These are like an easy way for large language models to communicate with other apps. And as of now, you could connect them using tools like cursor, wind surf, things like that. And you can connect MCPs using like the Claude desktop app, but now there's like more official connections to Claude that will work inside of the Claude web app. At the moment, these new features are available on the Max team and enterprise plans. So, those are

16:13 their high-end plans. If you're on the $20 a month plan, you're not getting access to this right now. Once they actually roll this stuff out to some of the lower tier plans, like the $20 a month plan that I'm on, I'll probably explore this a little bit deeper. Alibaba unveiled a new model this week called Quinn 3, which is a hybrid AI reasoning model. They've been using the term hybrid reasoning model for models that you can essentially turn on or off that sort of chain of thought thinking. So like when you use something like 03 or Gemini 2.5 Pro and you give it that prompt, you can usually see its thought process and actually read how the large language model is thinking through the problem. While these newer hybrid models allow you to either flip that on or off. Typically, if you let it think for a little bit longer, you're going to get a little bit more accurate, a little bit

16:58 better of a response. Where if you need it to be a little bit faster, but maybe accuracy isn't as important, you can turn that thinking off. According to all the benchmarks, this Quinn 3 is really good. If I'm being totally honest, I'm kind of getting exhausted by all these sort of like marginal improvements with large language models. For the most part, large language models do a lot for me. So, I'm finding it harder and harder to get excited by like marginal improvements that are slightly better at coding and slightly better at competition math. It's getting to the point where in my opinion, these newer updates that we're seeing from like Alibaba and pretty much all the companies putting out LLMs that are showing off their benchmarks are now a little bit better at coding and now a little bit better at competition math and things like that. I'm just finding myself less and less impressed by the

17:45 marginal improvements. So, if I'm being totally honest, I'll probably talk less and less about these like slightly updated large language models. Again, seeing as I can do almost everything I want to do with large language models at the moment, anything other than pretty big leaps, I'm just finding less and less exciting to talk about. Another AI agent was announced this week from a company called Versep. They introduced VI, which is a new tool that uses AI to actually interact with your computer. Their ex post here says, "VI is a first glimpse at AI that sees and uses your computer just like you do. It runs natively on your computer with access to all your applications and accounts that you're already signed into. And it's available to download starting today. Big caveat, you can download it, but if you try to actually use it, it just says

18:31 thanks, you're on our waiting list." So although you can download the software, until you get approved, you just have software that you can't use yet. I downloaded it, installed it on my computer, and I'm still waiting. But we can see in their demo video here, there's a little box where they can prompt it. What do you want Vi to do? Use Adobe Podcast audio enhancer on Chrome to remove the background audio I have on my desktop. So, we can see it took a screenshot. I could read the reply here. Based on the screenshot, I can see that Mac OS desktop with Finder open. I can see several files and folders. The task is to use Adobe Podcast audio enhancer. And we can see that it sort of makes a game plan, opens applications, actually clicks around and types things into Google, pulls up Adobe Audio Enhancer, pulls in the file from the desktop, and then it looks like it downloaded the file that was the cleaned

19:18 up version. Now, one thing that seems cool about this is you don't actually have to know how to use the app. So, they give an example of it doing something in Figma, and it knows the Figma UI. So even if you don't know how to get to the proper areas in Figma or click and drag and drop the right things to accomplish the outcome, you tell it what you want and it knows how to use Figma so it can go and press all the right buttons and turn all the right levers and knobs and things like that to get you the outcome. That to me seems really handy. Like if I want to go and create something in Blender and I don't know how to do the sculpting of the thing, I can tell it to, you know, smooth out the orb for me or whatever and it will know where to find the buttons inside of the user interface and actually make the changes that I want it to make without me actually knowing how

20:03 to use the app. And by me just sort of watching and seeing how it clicks around and operates within the app, I can essentially learn how to use the app by sort of looking over the AI shoulder, which that aspect of it to me seems really, really cool. Again, I don't have access to it yet, but something I'm looking forward to playing with once I finally do. Now, I know we've already talked about Recraft's new update, but there's been some other really cool updates in the sort of AI creativity space, starting with the fact that MidJourney just rolled out what they call omni reference. They describe it as a way to put this in my image. It works with characters, objects, vehicles, and more. So, let's try this out real quick. I'm here in Midjourney. I'll click create. Let's see if I can inject myself into an image. One thing I've realized is you have to make sure you're set on version 7. If you're not set on version 7, this doesn't work. But assuming

20:48 you're set on version 7, I'm going to go ahead and drag and drop an image in. I've got a little head shot here, and there's a box that says omni reference. So, let's drag the image here. We have a little slider here. So, let's set the strength to a bit higher. Let's go to 400. And let's say a Viking standing in the snow. And let's give it that prompt and see if it makes me a Viking. And here's what it gave us. It actually did a really good job of pulling in my face. I mean, none of these really scream Viking. I mean, these two in the middle are close. The two on the outside definitely not Viking vibes. That's probably the closest one, but I got the facial reference pretty decent. Honestly, it's been a while since I've done a deep dive midJourney tutorial. Maybe that'll be a fun video to do in the future coming up here. Cling AI rolled out a new feature called instant

21:34 film effect. So, it looks like you give it like a portrait image and then it will take that portrait and then convert it into what looks like a Polaroid that then animates. Here's another one. And here's what it did. Kind of made like a Polaroid looking image. The guy's chewing on his strap. Looks like it also works with multiple people in the shot and even animals. All right. So, I logged into my Cling account here. Under AI template, there's an effects tab that says instant film. So, I'll click on this. We'll try this instant film that they were just showing off on X. And I'll drop a photo in of myself. Here's the image I'm using. Let's go ahead and generate the instant film image. Here's like the little still image that it generated for me. It looks pretty cool. Let's go ahead and confirm this and see how it animates it. I'll click generate video here. And it says estimated

22:20 waiting time about 5 minutes. And 5 minutes later, here's what it generated. I mean, it's subtle, but there's some animation there. This company, Higsfield AI, it dropped a new feature called iconic scenes. You can step inside legendary movie moments with just a selfie. So, let's head on over to Higsfield.ai. Log in. Let's try the iconic link. Up at the top here, we have a bunch of sort of animated movie scenes that we could choose from. Let's try the like this is fine animation here. And I'll upload my own image. I'll use this same headsh shot. We'll click generate. I can actually see the image that it generated now. I mean, I think it made me a little chubbier than I am in real life, and it gave me a little hat, but now I'm just waiting on the animation. Well, this took absolutely forever, but

23:06 I am on the free plan, so I can't really complain. I got this animation for nothing. But here's what it generated. Uh, looks very sort of Family Guy to me. But yeah, just be warned if you are going to play with this. It's very slow on the free plan. Korea rolled out a new feature this week as they seem to do every single week. The feature is called GPT Paint. You can prompt chat GPT visually through edit marks, basic shapes, notes, and reference images. So, here's their example. They have this picture of a dinosaur. They have these like red rubber boots and this little bucket hat here. And they draw an arrow from the bucket hat to the top of the dinosaur. an arrow from the little rubber boots to the bottom of the dinosaur and they click done and it generates some images of the dinosaur wearing that bucket hat and those shoes

23:52 from the image before. They upload an image of Steve Jobs and an image of a Craya energy drink can draw an arrow from Steve to the can and give it the text holding drink and it generates an image of Steve Jobs holding that drink. Basically what it's doing is if you remember we were seeing all those images back when GPT40 image generation came out and people were sort of sketching out what they want their thumbnail to look like where they're writing text on it and drawing arrows. They basically just baked that feature into Crayas so you can use that now. And while we're talking about GPT40, I don't know if you guys have seen this, but this is pretty wild. People have been taking images, throwing it into chat GPT40 and saying create the exact replica of this image. Don't change a thing. And then they would do that exact same thing 74 times. I saw another one where somebody did it

24:38 101 times. It's not quite creating an exact replica. So check this out. Every single time you give it the prompt, the image changes a little bit. A little bit. A little bit. And after, you know, just a handful of prompts, it's not even close to the original. We keep on going. And if we keep looking at this, by the end, it looks absolutely nothing like the original image. And again, this was just somebody saying create the exact replica and doing it 74 times. This was the final image. This is what they started with. Here's another example where they started with this meme. And as we scroll through it, you can see it changes quite a bit to the point where when we get to the end, it looks nothing like the original image. Like it looks like weird hieroglyphics in a dumpster. And it started with this image. Like

25:24 crazy. Here's one more cuz I just think it's fascinating. Here's the original Willy Wonka. We scroll all the way to the end and this is the image that it ends up with. Beginning image, 70s something times later, this image. It just shows you that the little teeny tiny changes that GPT40 is making to your image spread out over a lot of iterations is a pretty massive change. I have just a few last little updates I want to share with you. I'm going to kind of rapid fire them. These are just a few things that I found mildly interesting this week. Suno dropped a new version, version 4.5. If you're on one of their paid plans, it seems to have gotten some fairly minor improvements. Expanded genres and smarter mashups, enhanced voices, more complex textured sound, better prompt adherence, things like that. They made

26:10 Suno a little bit better. A couple weeks ago, we talked about Toby and Shopify and how they're making their company a completely AI first company. Dualingo this week followed suit and said they're going to be an AI first company as well. They said they're going to gradually stop using contractors to do work that AI can handle. They went on to say they need to rethink much of how they work and that making minor tweaks to systems designed for humans won't get us there. They do say that Dolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees and that it isn't about replacing them with AI. Instead, it's about removing bottlenecks and allowing employees to focus on creative work and real problems, not repetitive tasks. And I think this is a great approach. I think this is how everybody should be looking at AI. AI helps us take the monotonous, boring, repetitive stuff that nobody really wants to be doing off

26:57 the table and ideally allows us to do a lot more of the fun, creative, inspiring work that we really want to be doing. Lyft launched an AI earnings assistant, so if you're a Lyft driver, you can make a little bit more money. It says drivers can ask it how to optimize their shift based on real-time data on airport arrivals, local events, and more. So theoretically, it will help you sort of optimize your driving patterns and where you end up at which times to get the most amount of rides possible and make the most amount of money possible. The company Aurora has deployed driverless trucks in Texas. After years of testing and validation, Aurora says its first fully autonomous tractor trailers are operating on public highways in Texas. The company's class 8 trucks are now making customer deliveries between Dallas and Houston, having already completed 1,200 miles without a driver.

27:44 Here's an actual video from the cab of one of these trucks showing it autonomously driving down the highway. We also get the view of what like the truck sees driving it down the highway. So, it'll be interesting if you go on long road trips. You might look off to the side and see one of these big rigs driving next to you with absolutely no driver inside of it. A lot of really fun AI news coming out lately. It's been really, really exciting. I've been less and less excited about a lot of the large language model news and I've been getting more and more excited about the creative sides of AI. A lot of the video generators, image generators, the music generators, the text to speech, all of that kind of stuff has been seeing some pretty big leaps lately where I feel like a lot of the large language models, they actually serve a lot of the needs that I personally use them for. And so seeing all these new rollouts with like

28:30 marginal improvements is less exciting to me. I'll still briefly share a lot of that news as it comes out, but there's probably a lot better channels to pay attention to if you want deep dives on every single new large language model that comes out. Matthew Burman, a good buddy of mine, comes to mind if you want to get deep dive details on every single large language model. He's definitely a channel you should follow as well. But that's what I got for you today. I hope you feel a lot more looped in on what's going on in the world of AI. Again, another fun week. And if you like videos like this and you want to stay looped into all the latest AI news, get some really cool AI tutorials and now even see some really cool interviews with AI thought leaders and pioneers in the industry. Make sure you like this video and subscribe to this channel. I'll make sure stuff like that shows up in your YouTube feed. And ideally make it so you

29:16 never miss a beat on what's going on with AI. That's what I'm trying to do for you. So again, like and subscribe if you want more of that stuff. And if you haven't already, check out futuretools.io io where I curate all the cool AI tools that I come across. And all the news that I do and don't talk about on this video can be found on this giant news page here. And of course, I have a free newsletter. Join it and twice a week, I'll share just the coolest tools and most important news that I think you need to know.
