Here is the “Tea”

  1. Mid Journey isn’t just about still images anymore—it’s evolving into a full multimedia canvas.

    Create 5-second clips (up to 21s by extending) from any still image. Two modes: “low motion” or “high motion” + optional manual prompt control.

  2. YouTube Shorts Gets Veo 3
    DeepMind’s new AI video model is now embedded inside Shorts. Creators, get ready for AI-native content suggestions and edits.

  3. Veo vs. Seedance: Video Wars Heat Up
    ByteDance’s Seedance 1.0 Pro quietly outperforms Veo 3 in internal tests. The future of short-form is full-on AI.

  4. AlphaEvolve Shatters Math Records
    DeepMind’s new optimizer solved a 56-year matrix challenge and is now running Google’s internal optimization pipelines.

  5. 🇺🇸🆚🇨🇳 The AI Cold War Escalates
    Congress wants to block all Chinese AI tools from federal workflows. Texas passes its own AI law. Federal override in the works?

  6. 77% of Workers Say AI = More Stress
    Increased productivity, but at what cost? Employees report burnout, blurred work boundaries, and toxic performance metrics.

 Elon’s Next Leap:
Neuralink Restores Sight: The Brain Gets a Reboot. It successfully implanted its chip in the visual cortex of two blind patients.
Result: For the first time, patients could “see” light patterns transmitted directly from cameras — no eyes required.

Implications:

1. Potential future: text reading, object recognition, maybe even full image vision.

2. Merges brain-computer interfaces with real-time visual AI

3. Accessibility tech enters its Iron Man era

AI x Business: Big Money, Bigger Moves

  1. Data Is Gold:

  • Rubrik snapped up Predibase to boost "agentic AI" for businesses.

  • Snowflake acquired Crunchy Data. Databricks grabbed Neon. Everyone wants clean, AI-ready data.

2. Talent Wars:
Apple and Meta are throwing money at people with GPUs. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s acquisition of Jony Ive’s "io" triggered trademark fights.

  1. Funding Frenzy:

  • OpenRouter raised $40M to simplify AI development.

  • J&J MedTech partnered with NVIDIA & AWS on a $25M surgery AI fund.

  • Norrsken VC pledged $348M to Green AI tackling climate and data center energy hogs.

  1. Nvidia = Wall Street’s Darling:
    Nvidia's market cap just leapfrogged Microsoft. Chips are officially hotter than crypto.

  2. Burnout > Productivity?
    77% of workers say AI increased workload and stress (Deloitte). But some firms are flipping it — a Canadian law firm used AI to go 4-day work week.

  3. AI Skills = $$$:
    PwC says AI-skilled employees are commanding 56% wage premiums. Learn prompt engineering, get paid.

News Scoop from Cahn: Spotlight Moment

At World Summit AI 2025, Cybever presented how an AI-powered 3D world creation platform would redefine how video content is produced.

In a candid discussion, Cecilia emphasized:

“The future of content isn’t just creation — it’s contextual feedback at speed. Whoever solves this wins.”

As Cybever pushes the boundaries of AI-generated virtual environments, the gap isn’t in creation anymore — it’s in how creators collaborate, review, and align at scale. From cinematic fidelity to real-world simulations, teams need smarter systems to keep up. It enables creators across industries to generate production-ready content with unmatched control, scalability, and visual fidelity — whether for games, films, or real-world simulations.

The conversation with Cahn Studios centered around a mutual belief:

The next generation of creative tools won’t just be generative — they’ll be structured for 3D environments, collaborative, explainable, and feedback-first.

Agents Are Everywhere (and They’re Coming for Workflows)

 "2025 is the Year of the Agent."

  1. 1. Salesforce: Agentforce

  2. 2. Google: Gemini CLI

  3. 3. NVIDIA: Biomedical Research Agents

  4. 4. HubSpot: Deep Research Connector

  5. 5. Clinch: Flight Control Copilot — 80% campaign workflow automation

Survey Says: 99% of developers are working on AI agents for business.
