Hey devs! I’m here with new AI stuff, as usual! ;)


Google launches Gemini 3.1 Pro

Google rolled out Gemini 3.1 Pro, the latest upgrade to its core AI model with much stronger reasoning and complex problem-solving performance - more than doubling benchmark scores over Gemini 3 Pro. It’s now available in preview across the Gemini API, Vertex AI, NotebookLM, and other tools developers use.

Great boost for advanced analysis, agentic workflows, and multimodal apps.

NVIDIA open-sources DreamDojo

NVIDIA’s DreamDojo world model is now on GitHub - a framework trained on hours of human egocentric video to model physical interactions. It’s a huge resource for robotics, simulation, and embodied AI.

A foundational step toward AI that understands real-world dynamics at scale.

Lyria 3 AI music in Gemini

Google added Lyria 3 to the Gemini app - an AI music generator that turns text, images, or videos into 30-second tracks with optional lyrics & cover art. It’s rolling out in beta and brings creative audio generation right into the chatbot experience.

Not just code/text - AI making music is now mainstream.
