2. Google DeepMind has unveiled Genie 3

Google DeepMind has unveiled Genie 3, an AI that can create 3D worlds you can actually walk around in, just by typing a description.

Elon Musk’s X platform has launched a new video generator based on the Grok image model, now with text-to-video and image-to-video capabilities, plus quirky “fun” and “spicy” modes.
