AI Updates of the Week

1. Apple’s iPhone 17 Launch Sparks AI Disappointment Again: Apple has launched the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and the ultra-slim iPhone Air, but there’s still no sign of an AI-powered Siri. Instead, Apple briefly referenced older AI features announced at WWDC, like Visual Intelligence, on device models, and Center Stage camera tracking. The event’s most compelling AI demo wasn’t even on the phone: it was real time translation coming to AirPods 3. While competitors like Google and Samsung embed AI deeply into devices, Apple appears to be relying on third party models like Google Gemini behind the scenes. Analysts suggest this hybrid approach might help Apple integrate cutting edge AI faster without building it all in house. That could give iPhone users the sleek hardware they love, powered by external models from Google, OpenAI, or Anthropic. Still, the delay in releasing a truly AI native Siri continues to frustrate Apple loyalists, with the upgraded assistant reportedly delayed until 2026. Until then, users may keep defaulting to Google’s apps and soon, perhaps, its AI too.

2. Google Slashes Veo 3 Video Model Costs by 50%: Google has declared its Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast video generation models production ready, with a huge twist: pricing has been cut in half. Now integrated into the Gemini API, Veo 3 enables creators to produce 1080p vertical videos, ideal for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, with faster turnaround and more stability than previous generations. The “Fast” variant caters to users prioritizing speed, while the core model offers cinematic precision. This update signals Google’s intent to dominate the AI content creation stack, positioning Veo as a reliable, affordable alternative to experimental models like OpenAI’s Sora or Runway’s Gen 2. By reducing costs and increasing reliability, Google is bridging the gap between AI research and real world content workflows; a critical move as short form video continues to dominate social media.

   Robi: “First they gave you AI talking heads. Now they’re giving them a budget.”

3. Alibaba Enters Trillion Parameter Club with Qwen3 Max: Alibaba has launched Qwen3 Max Preview, a 1 trillion parameter large language model, one of the most powerful open models to date. It reportedly outperforms Claude Opus 4 and DeepSeek V3.1, and offers a massive 262K token context window, allowing it to handle entire codebases, legal documents, or long form research in one go. Even more impressive? Pricing starts at just $0.86 per million tokens, undercutting major Western rivals like OpenAI and Google. Designed for enterprise deployment, Qwen3 supports multilingual reasoning and is part of China’s broader push to build domestic AI infrastructure. With scale, power, and pricing all aligned, Qwen3 may become a serious contender in the LLM arms race, especially in markets hungry for alternatives to US based offerings.
