Episode notes
Video Game Clips Teach Spatial Reasoning
- General Intuition raised $133.7M to train AI on billions of video-game clips that capture rare edge-case behaviors.
- These clips provide rich first-person spatial reasoning data useful for robotics and real-world interaction learning.
Google Improves Video Realism
- Google released Video 3.1 and integrated it into Flow to improve audio and granular editing for more realistic clips.
- The update aims to produce outputs that better follow prompts and improve image-to-video generation.
Smaller Models Lower Costs
- Anthropic released Claude Haiku 4.5, a smaller model that's much faster and cheaper while keeping competitive coding performance.
- Faster, cheaper models enable broader free-tier integrations across many products and tools.
