Happy Hump Day! It's an AI-powered kind of week. Yesterday I covered OpenAI's Spring event and today I'm covering Google IO. But first…
The headlines:
🤖 Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI and chief scientist has left the company.
💻 According to a leak, Dell is planning to build a 29-hour laptop.
🧵 Threads is booting up its own fact-checking program, similar to Twitter's community notes.
It's one of those weeks when I simply can't keep up with all the AI announcements. Just a day after OpenAI's Spring Update, where they unveiled their most powerful LLM yet, GPT-4o, Google made a splash at its annual IO event.
Let's dive in:
Text to Video: Google's latest AI venture, Veo, is the highlight of the show. Veo aims to outshine Sora by generating minute-long, 1080p videos from a single prompt. It can produce various visual styles, such as landscape shots and time lapses, and even allows for editing existing footage. Check out some examples on their announcement page, including a video collaboration with Donald Glover.
New Model: Google introduced a new AI model to complement its existing lineup. Gemini 1.5 Flash, smaller than Gemini 1.5 Pro, excels in speed. It's designed for "narrow, high-frequency, low-latency tasks," where quick response times are crucial. Flash boasts a context window of about 1 million tokens, vastly surpassing GPT-4's 124,000 tokens.
AI Assistant: Thirteen years after Siri's debut, voice assistants are finally having their moment. Google's new assistant, Project Astra, aims to rival OpenAI's 'Her' inspired assistant. Project Astra is a real-time, multimodal assistant capable of perceiving the world around you, answering questions, and helping you remember where you left things. It's quite impressive—check out the demo video. Don't expect to use it just yet, it's still in the very early stages of development.
Additionally, Google announced smaller updates, including an AI spam call detector and AI summaries across Google Search.

As the old saying goes "don't test in production," I mean, the last thing you want is some early version of a new feature completely totalling your site overnight. That's where tools like LaunchDarkly come in. It makes it easier to manage what features and fixed get deployed to production and what ones stay in testing.
The makers of Equals had this to say: "LaunchDarkly lets us separate deploy and launch - we can deploy changes, test them with live data, and roll out gradually to customers."
