Google Drops Gemini 3.1, AI Music & PhotoShoots (Plus: Magnific Video & Midjourney v8!)

From the creator

Google just dropped a LOT. Gemini 3.1 Pro is here with a 77.1% ARC-AGI score (that's above the average human baseline), Lyria 3 lets you generate music from images, and a new feature called Photo Shoot creates AI product photography. On the video side, Magnific finally drops creative video upscaling — I test it on Seedance and CG footage with some wild results. And Midjourney is gearing up for V8 with early test images, a new editor, and a bigger V2 video model coming later this year. 🔑 In This Video: — Gemini 3.1 Pro benchmarks, availability, and hands-on coding test — Lyria 3 music generation with multimodal image-to-music — Google Photo Shoot for product photography — Magnific creative video upscaling: what works, what gets weird — Midjourney V8 early look, new editor, and V2 video model news — Possible Veo 4 timing hint 📌 All tools tested in this video are available now or launching within the next week. — — #Gemini31 #Google #AIVideo #Magnific #Midjourney #MidjourneyV8 #Lyria3 #AIMusic #AITools #GenerativeAI #TheoreticallyMedia Chapters 0:00 — Intro: A Seedance-Free Day 0:46 — Gemini 3.1 Pro: Benchmarks & ARC-AGI Score 1:53 — Humanity's Last Exam Results 2:30 — Gemini 3.1: Where to Access It 2:53 — Hands-On: Missile Command Clone Test 3:48 — Lyria 3: Google's AI Music Generator 5:04 — Lyria 3: Image-to-Music Test 6:31 — More Lyria Thoughts & What's Coming 6:41 — Google Photo Shoot: AI Product Photography 7:55 — Magnific Creative Video Upscaling 9:30 — Magnific: Controls & Settings Breakdown 9:52 — Testing Magnific on Seedance Outputs 10:47 — Magnific Quirks: Hallucinated Faces & Artifacts 11:22 — Will Smith vs Spaghetti Monster Upscale 11:56 — CG & Game Footage Upscaling (Witcher 4) 12:46 — Magnific on Freepik + World Labs Footage 13:54 — Midjourney V8: Early Look & Text Rendering 14:55 — V8 New Editor, Interface & V2 Video Model 15:44 — Midjourney V8 Launch Timing 15:55 — Outro & What's Coming Next Week
