Apple's M5 chip pushes AI performance, Google's Veo 3.1 is better at generating videos from images, and Threads now supports group DM
About this episode
-Apple has introduced a new M-series chip on updated versions of the iPad Pro, MacBook Pro and for the first time, Apple Vision Pro. The new M5 chip shares plenty of similarities with the M4 chip Apple introduced in 2024, but the biggest seems to be a focus on improving graphics and AI performance.
-Google has released a new update to its Veo AI video generation model that should make it do a better job of sticking to prompts and converting images into videos.
- Meta has started rolling out group chats for the app, which lets you add up to 50 of your followers to a single conversation. Just start a new message and add anybody who follows you on Threads.
