AI Capabilities Reaching New Heights
Google continues to place artificial intelligence at the heart of its products. Here are the biggest AI-focused advancements:
Veo 3: Videos That Now Speak!
Google’s video generation model, Veo, is pushing boundaries with its third version:

- Story-Driven Generation: With short story prompts, the model can now create clips that truly bring your narrative to life.
- Veo 2 Updates: The previous version, Veo 2, has also been enhanced. You can now define characters, scenes, objects, and styles using reference images, and control precise movements with camera controls (pan, orbit, zoom). Outpainting allows you to expand frames, convert videos from vertical to horizontal, and fit them to any screen size. Even adding and removing objects is possible!
Gemini Advanced and 1.5 Pro: Longer Context, Deeper Understanding
Google’s advanced AI model, Gemini Advanced, now offers direct access to the 1.5 Pro model:
