It is a great tool. XAI 🎬 xAI's video model climbs the leaderboards Image source: xAI The Rundown: xAI just released the Grok Imagine API, a new AI video generation and editing suite that jumped to the top of Artificial Analysis rankings for both text and image-to-video outputs while undercutting rivals on price. The details: - The API handles text-to-video, image-to-video, and video editing tasks, with clips up to 15 seconds and native audio baked in. - Grok Imagine costs $4.20 per minute with audio included, coming in significantly cheaper than Veo 3.1 at $12/min and Sora 2 Pro at $30/min. - Editing tools let users swap objects, restyle entire scenes, animate characters with custom performances, and shift environments on command. - Imagine debuts at No. 1 on AA’s text and image to video leaderboards, and comes in behind just Veo 3 and Sora Pro in Arena’s Video Arena.

What a world it can be after about 2 months of missing in action! The inbox is insane. My attention is taken by this Clawbot thing. I read that Until now, AI has mostly lived inside chat windows. With Clawdbot hitting the scene, all that changes. My response is like I need this, now. More searching and I learn that Claude accounts are being banned without warning for violation of policy. See this - (1) Why Clawdbot Users Are Waking Up to Banned Accounts (And How to Protect Yourself) - YouTube I dig deeper and I find this article: From Clawdbot to Moltbot: How a C&D, Crypto Scammers, and 10 Seconds of Chaos Took Down the Internet's Hottest AI Project - DEV Community I have read it through and now I think it is time to take a break. What about if there was no Internet again like it was in the last 2 months 😁😁 Will you be trying out the Moltbot? Exciting time, but caution is warranted. I’m staying away from this thing for a while, as I get more information for safe deployment and compliance.

Anyone done this? Curious how it works. AI TRAINING 🦞 Moltbot (Clawdbot) installation guide & how to use it The Rundown: In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install and set up Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot), an autonomous AI agent that gets smarter over time and can proactively handle tasks like messaging, browsing, and even deploying websites. Step-by-step: 1. Generate a Brave Search API key, a fresh AI model key (OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini), and create a new Telegram bot using BotFather 2. Install Node.js v22+, install Moltbot CLI, and run the onboarding wizard using Quickstart, enabling Brave search and selecting Telegram as the bot’s channel 3. Complete the intro wizard (define its name, vibe, etc.) to initialize your Moltbot, then search for its username on TG and send a message to receive pairing code 4. Approve the pairing in your terminal using the provided command, and start chatting with your Moltbot directly in Telegram as your always-on assistant

GOOGLE 🌐 Google brings more agentic AI to Chrome Image source: Google The Rundown: Google just announced a wave of AI upgrades and Gemini integrations into its Chrome browser, including the addition of agentic browsing, built-in image generation, Personal Intelligence, and more. The details: - Auto Browse controls Chrome in its own tab, clicking through sites and completing tasks— also pausing before sensitive actions like payments. - Gemini now lives in a persistent sidebar, letting users ask questions, compare products across tabs, and leverage Google apps like Gmail and Calendar. - New Nano Banana integration lets users create images directly in the browser, with Personal Intelligence also coming soon for more personalized answers. Why it matters: There’s been no shortage of AI-first browser competition (OpenAI’s Atlas, Perplexity’s Comet, Dia, etc.) over the past year, but adoption has mostly been lacking — leaving Google with the perfect opportunity to simply continue weaving Gemini into its dominant Chrome platform and integrating deeper with its apps.
