Recent Highlights from Mavericks AI News
Feature 1: Google’s Gemini 3 Flash Launch
On December 17, Google unveiled the new AI model,
Gemini 3 Flash, which emphasizes both speed and affordability. Benchmarks indicate that it can match, or even sometimes exceed, the performance of its predecessor, Gemini 3 Pro, while offering a significant increase in processing speed—three times that of Gemini 2.5 Pro—while reducing costs to just one-tenth. This model is already integrated into Google’s various services, including Gemini apps and its AI Mode for Search.
In this issue, we conduct a candid review of Gemini, examining its practical constraints even in light of its advancements over competitors, coupled with real-world examples to put this into perspective.
Feature 2: Meta’s SAM Audio
Meta has introduced
SAM Audio, an AI model capable of isolating specific sounds from audio and video footage. This feature enables the extraction of music by instrument or clarifies speech in noisy interviews through simple language commands. The newsletter explores the implications of this groundbreaking separation technology and outlines current trends in AI adaptation across various modalities, from images to 3D applications.
Feature 3: ChatGPT’s New App Functionality
In a recent update, ChatGPT dramatically expanded its app capabilities. Users can now edit images and PDFs with Adobe software without leaving the ChatGPT interface. This transformation aims to position ChatGPT as a versatile platform, evolving beyond a chatbot into a comprehensive work environment. We analyze the implications of this shift, including partnerships with Adobe and the burgeoning concept of a ChatGPT App Store, assessing both potentials and challenges.
