It was this new heavy mode that managed to blitz all the benchmarks. The new voice mode was also demoed and it seemed to respond very naturally and with practically zero delay.

Veo 3 is considered to be one of the best video generation tools available, and now you can generate videos via the Gemini app using a photo as a reference. Google has also expanded the rollout of their AI filmmaking suite 'Flow' to a further 76 countries.

They're teaming up with Minimax and the Hailou 2 model to offer unlimited video generations. You have to be a premium or pro subscriber and sadly the offer only lasts for one week, but it's still a fantastic deal. Freepik say that they will be adding more deals like this in the coming weeks, so Freepik subscribers can look forward to some more unexpected bonuses.
