Google dropped Nano Banana 2 this week and I immediately tested it on the one thing I always said needed Pro — thumbnails with my actual face. That alone could have been the whole video, but AI had a packed week: NVIDIA built a robot that learned to fold laundry from 20,000 hours of humans doing it, a two-billion parameter open source video model dropped (and it actually works), Perplexity launched a computer-use agent routing 19 models, and a small lab published agent research that most companies would lock away. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: EgoScale: https://research.nvidia.com/labs/gear/egoscale/ other nvidia robotics: https://x.com/DrJimFan/status/2026350142652383587 NB2 Launch: https://x.com/googledeepmind/status/2027051577899380991?s=61 SVG Model: https://x.com/QuiverAI/status/2026792057893708072 Jim Apple: https://x.com/apples_jimmy/status/2026801444922528107 Linum v2: https://www.linum.ai/field-notes/launch-linum-v2 https://github.com/Linum-AI/linum-v2 Perplexity Computer: https://x.com/perplexity_ai/status/2026695550771540489?s=46&t=AZs45ckJ7UUM_kJZcxnR_w Tzafon Agent Breakthrough: https://x.com/tzafon_company/status/2027101372597072351 Hermes Agent: https://x.com/NousResearch/status/2026758999488528639 MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: mattvidpro@smoothmedia.co Thanks for watching MattVideoProductions!
