Google Gemini 3 vs GPT-5.1 vs Grok 4.1: The Insane AI Updates from the Last 24 Hours

The Wild 24 Hours That Just Rewrote the Future of AI

Picture this: You went to bed Friday night with “pretty smart” AI. You woke up Sunday morning and the entire internet had leveled up overnight. Google, OpenAI, Meta, and Elon Musk’s xAI all dropped bombs at the same time. November 23-24, 2025, will be remembered as the weekend AI grew up.

Here’s everything that just happened — explained so simply.

Google Launched Gemini 3: The Smartest AI on the Planet Right Now

It’s officially number one on every public test. It reads, writes, looks at pictures, and solves problems better than anything else.

There’s even a new version called Nano Banana Pro that turns one sentence (“make me a colorful sales dashboard”) into stunning charts and app designs in seconds.

OpenAI Answered with GPT-5.1

Two new versions dropped:

Instant → feels like texting a super-fast, friendly genius

Thinking → actually stops and reasons out loud on hard math or coding problems (it got 87% on a college-level math contest that stumps most humans)

Elon Musk Opened Grok 4.1 Fast to Everyone Who Can Code

Developers can now plug into Grok 4.1 through a simple “power outlet” (called an API). It’s ridiculously good at creative work, long projects, and even understanding emotions.

Meta Gave the World Free Robot Eyes

Their new Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) can look at any photo or 3D scene and instantly know “that’s a cat, that’s a coffee cup, that’s a car.” No training required. This is the tech future robots and AR glasses have been waiting for.

Three Breakthrough Research Papers Landed

Scientists just published:

A way to stop hackers from tricking AI into saying crazy things

A system so AI can test itself at massive scale (no humans needed)

A new training trick that makes billion-parameter models learn 100× faster

Google Antigravity IDE → a free AI pair-programmer that works in any code editor

The Big Picture

We just jumped from “AI that chats” to “AI that plans and builds entire projects on its own.” 2026 is going to feel like science fiction.

The next 30 days will decide who gets rich in the new AI wave and who just watches from the sidelines.

Don’t sleep on this one.

See you on the other side — let’s make 2026 absolutely ridiculous together! 🚀

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1. Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline. It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background. It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX... 2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
