Quick News: AI Toasts of the week

Google just dropped Veo 3, its latest video-generation model, for Gemini users in 159 countries. It’s also working on image-to-video. Soon, your doodles might become mini-movies.
Here’s what you need to know:
Veo 3 lets you whip up 8-second videos from a simple text prompt.
Right now, it’s only for folks on the AI Pro plan. Free users, you’ll have to watch from the sidelines.
You will get 3 videos per day.
A Quick Step-by-step way to do it.
Open Google Workspace or Gemini AI Pro/Ultra
Click the “Generate video” icon
Choose Veo 3 as your model.
Type a detailed prompt describing your scene, characters, and sounds.
Click “Create.” Preview the 8-second video.
Hit “Insert” to add it to your project. You can mute audio if you want.
Edit or iterate as needed for better results.
My take: The future of video is looking less like “editing” and more like “imagining.”

xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company, just raised a jaw-dropping $10 billion.
It’s a mix: $5B in debt, $5B in equity. That’s like buying a house and getting your parents to chip in for the down payment.
The money is going toward building one of the world’s biggest data centers and pushing the Grok platform forward.
xAI’s investor list reads like the credits at the end of a blockbuster — Andreessen Horowitz, Blackrock, Nvidia, Sequoia, and more.
Total raised so far? $17 billion. That’s enough to buy a small country or at least a few islands.
My take: Musk is betting big that AI is the next gold rush. If you’re not building a data center, are you even trying?
