AI NEWS

🧠 Nvidia Unveils Vera Rubin AI Platform

Nvidia announced the early launch of Vera Rubin, a new rack-scale AI computing platform designed to radically cut training costs and scale frontier models faster.

• Rubin GPU delivers 5× more AI training compute than Blackwell

• Full Vera Rubin stack can train large MoE models with ¼ the GPUs and ~1/7th the token cost

• Platform combines 6 chips into one AI supercomputer, including Vera CPU, Rubin GPU, NVLink 6, and BlueField-4

• First rack-scale trusted computing platform, supporting next-gen confidential AI workloads

By slashing tokens, GPUs, and time-to-train, Vera Rubin raises the bar for everyone building large-scale AI systems in 2026 and beyond. If Blackwell fueled the boom, Rubin is built to survive it.

AI PARTNERSHIPS

🤖 Gemini Takes Control of Humanoid Robots

Google DeepMind is partnering with Boston Dynamics to integrate Gemini into humanoid robots like Atlas, starting with real-world testing inside Hyundai auto factories.

• Gemini will give Atlas contextual awareness, letting it understand environments and manipulate unfamiliar objects

• Early deployments focus on manufacturing tasks like sorting, handling components, and adapting to changing layouts

• DeepMind aims to make Gemini a general-purpose “robot brain”, usable by many robot makers (Android-style)

• Factory data from Atlas will feed back into Gemini, accelerating physical-world learning

This is a major step toward AI moving from digital reasoning to physical labor. If Gemini can reliably control humanoids in messy, real factories, robots stop being demos and start becoming workers, bringing us closer to general-purpose machines that can operate wherever humans do.

AI IMPACT

🤖 Viral Reddit Confession Exposed as AI-Generated

A widely shared Reddit post claiming insider knowledge of food delivery app exploitation has been flagged as likely AI-generated after scrutiny by journalists and detection tools.

• Multiple AI detectors (Gemini, Claude, GPTZero, Copyleaks) flagged the post as likely AI-written

• An “employee badge” image shared by the author was identified as AI-edited via Google’s SynthID watermark

• The author deleted their account after being pressed on document authenticity

• Despite being fake, the story spread fast due to real mistrust in gig-economy platforms

This is a preview of the next misinformation era. AI-generated stories don’t need to be outrageous to go viral, they just need to sound plausible. As trust in institutions erodes, AI-written narratives that “feel true” may be harder to spot than outright lies.

HOW TO AI

🗂️ How to Create Viral, Scroll-Stopping Animations Using AI

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create the same eye-catching, high-engagement animations with just a text prompt.

🧰 Who is This For

• Creators who want viral-style animations without learning motion design

• Marketers who need fast, attention-grabbing visuals for ads and promos

• Business owners who want standout social content without hiring an editor

• Anyone who wants high-quality animations generated from simple text

STEP 1: Access the Tool

To begin, open your web browser and go to autoae.online. This tool runs entirely online, so there’s nothing to download or install.

As soon as the page loads, you’ll land on a dark, minimal interface with a clear message about creating viral animations in seconds. This is your main workspace, and everything starts from here.

STEP 2: Describe the Animation You Want

In the center of the page, you’ll see a large text input box. This is where you describe the animation you want the AI to create.

Click inside the box and write a clear description of your idea. You can mention motion, layout, comparison, or overall vibe. For example, you might type:

“Generate a two-sided balance animation comparing ‘Storytelling’ and ‘Motion Design’.”

Once your description is ready, click the small blue arrow button on the right side of the text box. This sends your idea to the AI and starts the generation process.

STEP 3: Customize the Animation

Within a few seconds, AutoAE will generate a playable preview of your animation. You’ll see the video running in the preview window on the right side of the screen.

On the left panel, you can easily customize the content. You can edit text fields like “Text 1” and “Text 2” to instantly change what appears in the animation. If you want to brand it, you can upload your own logo or background by clicking the “Select Media” options.

All changes update in real time, so you can quickly tweak the animation until it looks exactly how you want.

STEP 4: Download and Post

When you’re happy with the final result, scroll to the bottom of the left panel and find the large blue Download Video button.

Click it to save the animation directly to your device.

That’s it. In just a few minutes, you’ve created a high-quality, scroll-stopping animation that’s designed to grab attention fast and perform well on social platforms.
