Elon's FREE Grok Bombshell [0:06]
Elon Musk made Grok 4, his most advanced AI model, completely free for everyone. Previously, Grok 4 was behind a paywall on X Premium, costing $8 per month. This decision came after OpenAI announced they were making GPT-5 partially free. Now, users can access top-tier AI without any cost.
GPT-5's Epic Fail [0:50]
OpenAI's GPT-5 was released and received negative feedback from users, who found it to be worse than GPT-4 in basic tasks. Sam Altman admitted that they underestimated the importance of certain features in GPT-4. Despite the failure, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Go in India for 399 rupees per month, incorporating UPI payments for easy access.
ChatGPT Invades India [1:37]
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Go in India for just 399 rupees per month, with UPI payments integrated for ease of use. India is already OpenAI's second-largest market, and Sam Altman believes it could become their biggest. While the West focuses on model comparisons, OpenAI is targeting global market dominance.
Google's Triple Threat [1:56]
Google released three AI updates: Gemini caught up with memory features similar to ChatGPT, Jules was launched as an AI coding agent that clones codebases into a secure cloud VM and handles complex tasks, and Gemma 270M, a small model that runs on phones, was introduced. Jules is offered for free for 15 tasks daily. Gemma 270M is only 240 megabytes and uses minimal battery on devices like the Pixel 9 Pro. Google is focusing on user control, privacy, and local convenience, contrasting OpenAI's centralized cloud approach.
Elon vs Sam: Tech War [3:00]
Elon Musk and Sam Altman are engaged in a public tech feud. Musk accused Apple of antitrust bias for not featuring X in AI integrations, while Altman accused Musk of rigging X's algorithm to suppress OpenAI content. Altman challenged Musk to sign a legal affidavit to prove his claims. Grok, Elon's AI, sided with Sam Altman when asked who was right.
AI Video Revolution [3:41]
Higsfield Draw to Video allows users to create videos from a blank canvas by adding images, text, or products, and the AI turns these elements into a video. This tool is useful for content creators who need custom footage and marketers who want to visualize their brand's vision without spending on traditional video production.
Claude's Massive Upgrade [4:19]
Anthropic released two updates for Claude: Claude now remembers past conversations with transparency about what it's storing, allowing users to edit or delete the stored information. Claude Sonet 4 now has a 1 million token context window, enabling it to process 750,000 words, which is about 10 novels worth of text. This is beneficial for businesses and developers as Claude can understand entire project code bases and analyze thousands of documents at once.
Perplexity's Power Moves [5:23]
Perplexity launched a finance tab for India, providing free access to live data, earnings reports, and crypto information. They also rolled out text-to-video capabilities for pro subscribers, allowing users to turn prompts into 8-second video clips with sound. Perplexity is evolving into a platform that handles finance, video creation, and data analysis.
AI Chess Goes Viral [6:18]
AI chess has become a spectator sport with the first AI chess tournament. OpenAI's 03 won the tournament, beating Grok 4 in the finals. Chess is considered the ultimate test for AI, and these tournaments showcase AI systems competing in real-time with live commentary.
Robot Does Your Laundry [6:41]
Figure, a humanoid robot, has mastered laundry folding. It can autonomously grab, fold, and stack towels without human help. This involves complex manipulation, handling deformable fabrics, finding the right grip, and folding them neatly.
Hinton's Scary Warning [7:00]
Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of AI," warned that there is a 10 to 20% chance AI could wipe out humanity in the next few decades. Hinton believes that AI systems will be smarter than humans within 5 to 20 years and might decide humans are unnecessary or a threat.
