Did We Just Get the Nano Banana of Video?

Try Perplexity Comet browser today - https://www.perplexity.ai/comet In this episode, we put the latest AI video models through real creator workflows to see which ones are hype and which ones are actually usable today. From Kling’s new models and Runway Gen‑4.5 to Apple’s STARFlow‑V and more, this video is all about testing what’s possible with AI‑generated video right now in a week where the “news” was quiet but the models went wild.​ We also touch on OpenAI’s “code red”, Google’s Gemini updates, Amazon’s enterprise AI moves, DeepSeek, Mistral, KREA’s Node App Builder, and the Nano Banana meme that’s trying to redefine how we think about foundation models for video. Strap in for a chaotic, experimental tour of the tools that might be powering your next YouTube video, short film, or ad.​ #ainews #openai #gemini #nanobanana #artificialintelligence Discover More: 🛠️ Explore AI Tools & News: https://futuretools.io/ 📰 Weekly Newsletter: https://futuretools.io/newsletter 🎙️ The Next Wave Podcast: https://youtube.com/@TheNextWavePod Socials: ❌ Twiter/X: https://x.com/mreflow 🖼️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/mr.eflow 🧵 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@mr.eflow 🟦 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-wolfe-30841712/ 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mattrwolfe Resources From Today's Video: https://www.theverge.com/news/836212/openai-code-red-chatgpt​ https://x.com/kling_ai/status/1995506929461002590​ https://x.com/leonardoai/status/1995512103130616239​ https://x.com/kling_ai/status/1996238606814593196​ https://runwayml.com/research/introducing-runway-gen-4.5​ https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/introducing-google-workspace-studio-agents-for-everyday-work​ https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-3-deep-think​ https://twitter.com/demishassabis/status/1996683917991334300​ https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazon-ai-frontier-agents-autonomous-kiro​ https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/02/amazon-releases-an-impressive-new-ai-chip-and-teases-a-nvidia-friendly-roadmap​ https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/aws-launches-ai-factory-offering-that-gives-customers-dedicated-ai-infrastructure-on-premises​ https://www.theverge.com/news/837156/amazon-fire-tv-alexa-plus-skip-to-scene​ https://x.com/deepseek_ai/status/1995452641430651132​ https://mistral.ai/news/mistral-3​ https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-developing-garlic-model-counter-googles-recent-gains​ https://x.com/btibor91/status/1994714152636690834​ https://x.com/benjamindekr/status/1996059933998285094​ https://www.theverge.com/news/831747/tim-sweeney-epic-ceo-steam-game-stores-made-with-ai​ https://x.com/krea_ai/status/1996240993532928110​ https://starflow-v.github.io​ https://twitter.com/NanoBanana/status/1995828737758105846 Let’s work together! - Brand, sponsorship & business inquiries: [email protected] #AINews #AITools #ArtificialIntelligence Time Stamps: 00:00 – Intro & Setup 00:37 – Kling Video Drop 02:10 – Testing Kling 01 06:20 – More Kling Tests 09:15 – Kling 2.6 Audio 10:10 – Comet Sponsor 10:59 – Audio Stress Tests 12:01 – Kling Verdict 13:12 – Runway Gen-4.5 14:39 – Workspace Studio 16:39 – Amazon re:Invent 19:07 – New LLM Drops 21:10 – OpenAI “Garlic” 23:48 – ChatGPT Ads 25:00 – Steam AI Labels 25:57 – Krea App Builder 26:25 – Apple StarFlow V 27:34 – Nano Banana Trend 28:22 – Wrap-Up
