WELCOME

Hey all, welcome back to The Frontier — our weekly newsletter covering the hottest new launches in AI and industry trends. This week, the big players have come out to give us all early AI presents, big money is on big AI, and of course, some of the top products that launched last week.

TOP LAUNCHES

Google has come out swinging

TOP LAUNCHES

Gemini 2.0 is Google's most advanced AI model, enabling multimodal inputs and outputs like text, audio, and images.

Veo 2 is Google's answer to the likes of Sora. It's a cutting-edge video generation model capable of creating realistic clips from text prompts or your own images.

Llama 3.3 is the latest open-source model from Meta. It benchmarks pretty close to 405B while being much smaller, and more affordable.

Depth AI is a tool that helps you answer complex questions on large and messy codebases. It reduces time to onboard new engineers from months to days and enables teams to ship code faster

Tempo-Pulse is an AI-driven haptic music player. Search for or upload any song and it will deliver a unique haptic experience. It's designed to make everyone feel the charm of music, including people who are hard of hearing.

THE BIG THING

Merry ChristmAIs

It’s the season of ChristmAIs, and big tech is handing out presents early.

Google kicked things off with Gemini 2.0, their latest AI model that works across text, images, and everything in between. Then came Veo 2, which turns simple prompts into slick, high-res videos. And Whisk, a new tool that lets you use images to generate other images—no awkward text prompts required.

Amazon rolled out Nova, a set of AI models built to be powerful without draining your wallet. It’s Amazon doing what Amazon does best: scaling things up while keeping it practical.

And over at Microsoft, there’s Phi-4, a small but surprisingly capable model that proves you don’t always need something massive to get results.

All this in just a couple of weeks. At this rate, AI might start wrapping gifts by next year—assuming it doesn’t lose the tape like the rest of us.

Overheard in the discourse

Big money’s on big AI.

SoftBank just announced a $100 billion investment in AI and tech projects, aiming to create 100,000 jobs in the U.S. over the next four years. It’s a massive bet on AI’s role in the economy and the kind of move that sets off a domino effect across the industry.

For context, this isn’t just “more AI tools”—it’s infrastructure, research, and resources to scale AI’s reach. Whether that means breakthroughs in AGI or just more powerful chips, one thing’s clear: the race to dominate AI isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
