Meta's AI agents are behind schedule 🐌
|
|
😅 wait, Zuckerberg is admitting Meta's behind now?
|
|
Pretty much. At an internal town hall, Zuckerberg told staff that AI agent progress hasn't accelerated the way Meta expected over the last four months. He also admitted the reorg that cut thousands of jobs and reassigned thousands more to AI teams wasn't as clean as it should have been.

Is Meta's AI agent strategy in trouble?
|
💾 so what's the plan now?
|
|
Meta is reportedly building a cloud business called Meta Compute to rent out its excess GPU capacity to outside developers, similar to Amazon's Bedrock. The news sent shares of cloud rivals CoreWeave and Nebius tumbling, as investors worried Meta may no longer need their services.

Google's new video model edits itself on command 🎥
|
|
😏 haven't we had AI video for years now?
|
|
Sure, but Gemini Omni Flash is Google's first any-to-any model. It takes text, photos, audio, or video as input and outputs a 10-second clip, then lets you edit the result in plain English, swap a background or an outfit, while everything else stays locked in place.

Have you tried Omni Flash yet?
|
🤔 ok but what would I even use this for?
|
|
Feed it a product photo and it builds an ad around it. Upload a few pictures of a character and it keeps that same face and outfit across totally different scenes.
It's free right now in the Gemini app and YouTube Shorts. Google Flow also gives you 50 free credits a day with no subscription, and developers building with the API pay $0.10 per second of video.

🧭 weekly challenge: build your own AI character
|
This week, build a character in Google Flow that stays consistent across different scenes, no subscription needed. You get 50 free credits every single day.
| 🔑 Step 1: Open Google Flow. Head to labs.google/fx/tools/flow and sign in with any Google account. No credit card required. |
|
| 🖼️ Step 2: Give it a face. Upload 3 to 5 reference images of a person, drawing, or object on a plain background, or generate one from scratch first. |
|
| 🏷️ Step 3: Name your character. Save it with a name, so you can type @ plus that name in any future prompt and Flow keeps the look locked in. |
|
| 🎭 Step 4: Put them in a scene. Write a prompt describing what your character does, referencing them by name, then generate the clip. |
|
| 🔁 Step 5: Chain a second clip. Drop the same character into a totally different setting and see how well the look holds up between scenes. |

Is Meta's pivot to selling compute a sign the AI agent hype is cooling, or just smart business? And what would you build first with Gemini Omni Flash? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
