Move Over OpenAI… Google Looks Ready To Take The AI Lead

AI NEWS: Google's been moving insanely fast & shipping as OpenAI & Sam Altman have been working out what went wrong with the GPT-5 launch. Will we have a new AI leader?

Google's Made By Google event introduced a new natural language photo editing software (that could be powered by Nano Banana - their secret unreleased model) and a live AI translator that feels the like future. Meanwhile, OpenAI is looking forward to GPT-6 already & Elon has Grok moving towards makin' babies. 

All that and a new Robot Watch, updates from Runway and Eleven Labs & an alpha demo of our very own new AI audio start-up AndThen! 

YEAH WE MADE A COMPANY. FOR REAL WE'RE ADULTS HERE.
