Google just announced the release of Veo 2, an advanced video generation model that produces high-resolution outputs with incredible realism and detail — along with Imagen 3, an upgraded image model that also delivers cutting-edge quality.

Veo 2:

• Veo 2 can create 8-second clips at 4K resolution (720p at launch), and it has received significant upgrades in cinematic control quality.

• The model also shows major improvements in physics simulation and hallucination reduction, leading to more realistic movement and detail.

• Veo 2 has outperformed all competitors in head-to-head human evaluations and prompt adherence, including the recently released Sora by OpenAI.

• The model is being gradually rolled out through the VideoFX waitlist, with plans to integrate with YouTube Shorts in 2025.

Imagen 3:

• The upgraded model offers enhanced vibrancy and composition across art styles, with better handling of details, textures, and fine text rendering.

• New capabilities include more accurate prompt interpretation and better rendering of complex scenes in line with user intent.

• Imagen 3 has surpassed all models, including Midjourney, Flux, and Ideogram, in human evaluations of preference, image quality, and prompt adherence.

• The model is currently available through Google Labs’ ImageFX and is being rolled out in over 100 countries.

Google is having a tremendously big end to 2024 — first Gemini 2.0 and now Veo 2 and Imagen 3. These models seem to raise the bar in both categories, giving Google cutting-edge performance in almost every area of AI. OpenAI may have the hype this holiday season, but Google is showing results.

OpenAI just announced a significant expansion of its ChatGPT Search feature, making it free for all users, along with voice search capabilities and improved mobile features.

Previously available only to paid users, the search feature is now extended to all logged-in users, with faster response speeds and accessible through the globe icon on the platform.

Search has also been added to Enhanced Voice Mode for paid users, allowing them to conduct searches through natural speech commands.

The mobile Search experience has been improved, with enhanced visual layouts for local businesses and built-in integration with Google and Apple Maps.

Users can also set ChatGPT Search as their default search engine, with results displaying relevant links before ChatGPT’s text responses for quicker access.

ChatGPT’s web accessibility and updated information are a significant step towards a proactive future, especially with the Advanced Voice Mode—transforming this tool into a smarter, more powerful version of Siri (and potentially powering it later). Search is about to change in a big way in the age of AI.
