Google DeepMind Prices VEO 2 AI Video

Google DeepMind has set the new pricing for VEO 2, its latest AI video generation model, now available via Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform.

• Pricing Details:
• Cost: Fifty cents per second (or one thousand eight hundred dollars per hour)
• Comparison: This is significantly cheaper than Hollywood’s blockbuster productions but higher than OpenAI’s Sora, which offers unlimited use for two hundred dollars per month.

Note: While both tools represent exciting advancements, remember that professional-quality results still require a human touch for refinement and adjustments.

AI Learns to Know When to “Shut Up”

A recent study from Johns Hopkins University has revealed that AI models are not just learning to provide answers but also becoming adept at recognizing when to remain silent.

• Key Findings:
• By extending processing time, researchers found that models could improve both accuracy and self-awareness.
• The study showcased three risk levels and demonstrated how AI adapts under varying pressures, emphasizing the importance of knowing when to back off instead of responding blindly.

Apple’s Plans for AI Server Factory in Texas

Apple has announced plans for a major AI server factory in Texas, covering two hundred fifty thousand square feet and partnering with Foxconn.

• Launch Timeline: Expected to launch by twenty-six.
• Investment: Part of Apple’s five hundred billion dollar investment initiative to secure its position in AI development.
• Facility Purpose: The Texas factory will produce servers to support Apple’s machine-learning suite, while also doubling its Advanced Manufacturing Fund to ten billion dollars, ensuring control over its AI hardware production.

Five New AI Tools to Explore

From creating step-by-step guides and products with improved efficiency to developing custom AI agents across thousands of applications, the landscape of AI-powered tools continues to grow rapidly.

• Innovative Tools:
• Zapier Agents: For custom AI solutions.
• Trupeer: For creating product videos.
