Introducing UXMaps – the ultimate design and research library that’ll render your search woes obsolete.
Amazon just launched Alexa+, a next-gen AI assistant powered by generative AI. It’s smarter, more conversational, and can handle complex tasks like booking reservations, ordering groceries, and even arranging home repairs—all without you lifting a finger. It’s deeply personalized, remembers your preferences, and works across devices, from Echo to your phone. Free for Prime members ($20/month otherwise), it’s rolling out in the U.S. soon, bringing advanced AI capabilities to millions of homes. Alexa’s finally stepping up its game!
Claude 3.7 Sonnet just dropped, blending quick responses with deep thinking for coding, math, and real-world tasks. It’s now available across all plans, with extended thinking mode (except free tier). Plus, Claude Code, a new agentic coding tool, lets devs tackle engineering tasks straight from the terminal. Meanwhile, vibe coding’s on the rise—check out the new video course for building apps with AI. Also, Veo 2 and Perplexity are making moves. Stay tuned!
Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab just dropped Wan2.1, an open-source video gen model that beats Sora and others on benchmarks—faster, sharper, and smarter. It handles text-to-video, image-to-video, and even renders text in English and Chinese. Plus, it’s got editing tools like inpainting and multi-image referencing. There’s even a lightweight version for consumer GPUs. Open-source AI from China is on fire this year!
Adobe just dropped its Firefly Video Model in public beta, calling it the first “commercially safe” AI video tool. It generates 1080p clips from text or images, with solid camera and motion control. Firefly won’t train on user data and starts at $9.99/month for 20 videos. New features include AI lip sync, translation, and 3D scene references. With legal safety as its selling point, Firefly could be the go-to AI video tool for brands.
Google DeepMind just launched AlphaGeometry2, a new AI that aced 84% of International Math Olympiad geometry problems—outperforming the average gold medalist. It combines a Gemini model with a symbolic engine to handle complex proofs, solving 42 out of 50 problems. Trained on 300M+ synthetic theorems, it’s a huge leap from its predecessor. This breakthrough could seriously boost progress in math-heavy fields like physics. Pretty impressive!
