What’s Popping in AI This Week

TRENDING
Google’s been on fire lately with updates, but this one? Might just be their most useful yet for creators.

With Gemini 2.0, you can now upload an image and edit it just by typing what you want changed. No need for layers, selections, or Photoshop-level skills.

You can literally say things like:

“Add glasses to this guy”
“Give the cat orange fur”
“Show this warrior from the back view”
“Make the sky turn red and stormy”

...and Gemini just does it.

But it goes even deeper.

What’s actually impressive is how well it handles scene continuity and angle variation. This isn’t just “add sunglasses to a selfie”—this is prompt-to-shot-sequencing with shockingly consistent results.

You can upload a Midjourney image and ask for a reverse angle, a close-up, or even cinematic context (like “burning village in the background”) and Gemini delivers. Think shot planning for animation, style-consistent references for character design, or even AI-keyframes for video generation workflows.

Yes, the tool still has quirks. Push it past 3-4 generations and you’ll start losing fidelity. But a quick re-prompt with the original image brings things back on track, basically a reset for the model’s “memory.” That little trick alone has made it way more usable for iterative design.

Even better: it works great with outside images (MidJourney, DALL·E, etc.) and handles cinematic tone, depth, and subject separation better than expected for a free browser tool.

Rumor is video generation via Gemini is just weeks away.

NEWS & UPDATES
What’s Popping in AI This Week

We’ve been diving into some exciting updates this week—especially if you’re creating AI videos, running UGC brands, or just testing tools for better visuals.

1) Freepik Adds Topaz AI and Custom Object Training

They rolled out two massive features:

• AI Video Upscaling with Topaz AI
  You can now upscale your Freepik-generated videos to 4K with smooth motion and crisp clarity. Whether you're working with a short animation or an AI-generated scene, this makes your content instantly more publish-ready.

  A snowboarding clip tested at 1440p and 60 FPS came out looking nearly broadcast quality—perfect for creators pushing their visuals to the next level.

• Custom Objects for Design Consistency
  Upload a folder of object images (like your brand’s mug or a smart speaker), and Freepik will let you recall that object in any future prompt using @objectname. Massive upgrade for consistent storytelling and ecommerce-style branding.

2) Elon’s xAI bought Hotshot

Yep, another major player enters the AI video space. Hotshot is an advanced AI video tool now under xAI, joining the race with OpenAI's Sora and Google’s Veo2. Safe to say—AI video competition just got hotter.

3) Roblox Introduces Prompt-to-3D Assets

You can just type a prompt like “gold helicopter” and boom—it becomes a 3D object you can actually use. It’s plug-and-play worldbuilding, and yes, there’s an API too. Game studios are gonna love this.

4) Open-Source Alert: Hunyuan’s 3D 2.0

Got front, side, and back photos? You can now generate full 3D character models using this open-source tool. Still a bit early stage, but great for prototyping without needing pro software
