Google Debuts AI Video Creation in Gemini and Whisk

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: Google is rolling out high-res video generation for Gemini Advanced users and expanding Whisk Animate to create short AI-generated animations. Both tools tap into the Veo 2 model and are available to Google One AI Premium subscribers.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• Gemini Advanced now supports eight-second, 720p video generation via Veo 2 using text prompts.

• Veo 2 delivers cinematic realism with improved physics and human motion understanding.

• Users can generate and share videos directly from the Gemini interface on web and mobile.

• Whisk Animate enables animation of static images into short videos, also powered by Veo 2.

• Both features are globally available to Google One AI Premium subscribers starting today.

💡 Why This Stands Out: Video generation has long lagged behind image creation in generative AI. With Veo 2, Google raises the bar—blending realism and ease of use in just a few prompts. This move pushes AI creativity into more accessible, mobile-friendly formats like Shorts and TikTok. Will short-form AI video become the next mainstream medium for creators?

OPEN AI

OpenAI hires team behind GV-backed AI eval platform Context.ai

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: OpenAI has acqui-hired Context.ai, a startup focused on model evaluations and analytics, bringing aboard its co-founders to strengthen OpenAI’s internal tooling. Context.ai will sunset its products as part of the transition.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• Context.ai's co-founders, ex-Googlers Henry Scott-Green and Alex Gamble, are joining OpenAI to build model evaluation tools.

• The startup developed analytics dashboards and tagging systems to help developers understand AI model behavior and performance.

• Context.ai raised $3.5M in 2023 from GV and Theory Ventures but is now winding down operations post-acquisition.

• OpenAI has not disclosed deal terms, and it’s unclear if other Context.ai employees will also transition.

• Scott-Green will serve as a product manager at OpenAI, focusing on “evals.”

💡 Why This Stands Out: As frontier models become more complex, evaluation is emerging as a critical bottleneck for both researchers and enterprise users. Context.ai’s integration signals OpenAI’s deepening investment in building robust internal tools to demystify model behavior and drive performance. The question isn’t just how powerful a model is—but how well it can be measured.

Figma

Figma Targets AI Startup Lovable in “Dev Mode” Trademark Clash

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: Figma has issued a cease-and-desist to Lovable, a rising no-code AI startup, over its use of the term “Dev Mode”—a trademark Figma registered in 2023. The move signals not just a legal defense, but a deeper competitive clash as Lovable positions itself as a next-gen rival in AI-assisted design.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• Figma claims trademark rights to “Dev Mode” and demands Lovable stop using the term for its code-editing feature.

• “Dev mode” is widely used in tech, from Apple and Google to open-source projects, prompting critics to question the legitimacy of the trademark.

• Lovable, which raised a $15M seed round in February, has no plans to comply, saying it’s winning customers away from legacy tools like Figma.

• Figma’s legal move coincides with its confidential IPO filing, heightening stakes in its competitive positioning.

• The clash reflects rising tension between established design platforms and fast-moving AI-native tools like Lovable’s “vibe coding” interface.

💡 Why This Stands Out: This isn’t just a naming dispute—it’s a flashpoint in the evolving battle between traditional design software and AI-native platforms. As tools like Lovable challenge incumbents with prompt-driven workflows, legacy players are forced to defend both trademarks and market share. Is this the first of many legal fights as the design stack gets reimagined by LLMs?
