In this video, I’m breaking down one of the wildest rapid-fire AI news weeks of the year. From OpenAI’s new GPT-Image-1.5 model to FLUX 2, Kling’s insane voice + motion upgrades, Adobe’s new video tools, Luma’s latest model, Meta’s new SAM Audio, and a ton more. Plus: Amazon’s new Alexa+, Google’s massive Gemini updates, new models from NVIDIA, Mistral, Manus, Alibaba, and even the first AI model trained in space.
