Google's latest video AI model, Veo 3, can generate realistic videos with audio and mimic a range of styles—including the look and feel of video games. While the results aren't interactive like a real game, they do a convincing job of visualizing gaming concepts, whether from a first-person or third-person perspective. The technology doesn't come cheap: according to developer fofrAI, generating a video with Veo 3 costs about $0.75 per second. Veo 3 is currently available in the US for Google AI Ultra subscribers at $249 per month.

Oracle is investing around $40 billion in Nvidia chips for a new OpenAI data center in Abilene, Texas, reports the Financial Times. The first "Stargate" project will use about 400,000 Nvidia GB200 chips and is expected to deliver 1.2 gigawatts of power, ranking among the world's largest AI data centers. Oracle will rent the computing power to OpenAI. The facility is owned by investment firm Blue Owl Capital and data center startup Crusoe, which raised $15 billion in funding. Operations are set to begin in mid-2026. Stargate itself is not financially involved. OpenAI also plans a similar project in Abu Dhabi with other partners.
