Four AI platforms moving from demo to real life. Sanxingdui, a 100-minute sci-fi film with an entirely AI-generated cast powered by Vidu, opens in theaters across China, while Vidu Q4 Preview brings 4K, native audio and expressive performances, and ByteDance launches a short-drama studio in Jimeng AI. Lovable opens its first London office and shares big numbers: 70M+ projects, 1.2M new projects a week and 900M+ monthly visits to sites built on it. Google takes AI Mode ads to 10 more countries and launches multiturn ads in the U.S., as Search growth slows, plus Sprinklr's six marketing agents and Listen Labs' Listen Twins. And Apple adds an AI assistant built on Apple and OpenAI models to Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and opens them to outside agents via MCP. Plus quick hits: Mistral Large 4 weights, Anthropic's 40% government discount, OpenAI and Google TPUs, Liquid AI LFM3, Opera WebAI, Meta Muse in Singapore, Comcast Universal Ads, Fish Audio Drama 3, a Cloudflare AI bug, the Netherlands' AI job cuts, and Axiom's 43-million-line proof.
