In today's AI Brief, we cover the latest developments in artificial intelligence. Anthropic is preparing to launch a major upgrade to its Claude model, combining language capabilities with advanced reasoning. This new model will offer developers more control over speed and computation, excelling in coding and handling large-scale codebases.YouTube is rolling out Veo 2, Google DeepMind's new video generation model, into its Shorts platform, enabling creators to generate custom video clips and backgrounds from text descriptions. This update includes faster generation times, improved physics, and clear labeling of AI-generated content.Additionally, Galileo Labs has launched a new AI agent leaderboard, with Google’s Gemini Flash 2.0 leading in effectively handling real-world tool interactions. The leaderboard evaluated 17 top LLMs on 14 benchmarks, highlighting that the best agent may depend on the user’s specific use case.We also touch on Latent Labs, founded by an ex-DeepMind scientist, aiming to build models that can generate novel proteins. Plus, researchers are using AI to solve complex math problems.Stay tuned for more on these and other AI updates!
