Read full article about: Google's Veo AI video generator now available on Vertex AI

Google's AI video generator, Veo, is now available to businesses in a private preview through the Vertex AI platform. Veo can generate high-quality 1080p videos from text or images in a variety of visual and cinematic styles, although Google does not specify the maximum length of the generated clips. According to Google, the AI-generated videos are watermarked with DeepMind's SynthID technology to prevent misinformation and false attribution, and have safeguards against harmful content. At the same time, the latest version of the Imagen 3 image generator will also be made available to all Google Cloud customers via Vertex, enabling new features such as prompt-based image editing and the integration of branded features.

Read full article about: First open source alternative to OpenAI's o1 comes from China

DeepSeek has launched its new AI model "DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview" on chat.deepseek.com. The language model specializes in mathematical thinking and logical reasoning. According to DeepSeek, the model shows strong performance on AIME and MATH benchmarks, which test mathematical abilities, matching the level of OpenAI's o1-preview. This performance is by design: Like OpenAI's model, DeepSeek-R1 is a "reasoning model," meaning the quality of its answers improves with longer thinking processes. One key difference is transparency - users can watch the system's thinking process in real time, while OpenAI only shows a summary. The company has previously released high-performing open-source models and plans to make both an API and R1 available as open source. DeepSeek hasn't announced a specific date for the open-source release.
