Google has introduced Nano Banana 2 as the new default image model across the Gemini app. It combines much of the high-fidelity output from Nano Banana Pro with faster generation speeds. Users can create images from 512px up to 4K in multiple aspect ratios. The model maintains character consistency for up to five characters and keeps track of up to 14 objects in a single workflow.

Jack Dorsey is really betting big on AI. So much so, the tech CEO announced his company Block (formerly Square) is cutting 40% of its workforce – from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000 – despite strong, growing profits. The reason? To fully & immediately commit to AI tools paired with smaller and flatter teams.

The Pentagon asked Boeing and Lockheed Martin on Wednesday to assess their reliance on Anthropic's AI model, Claude, as it prepares for a potential "supply chain risk" designation. That penalty is typically reserved for companies from adversarial nations, such as Chinese tech giant Huawei. Using it against an American AI company would be unprecedented.

 

Netflix is walking away from a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) studio and streaming assets as its board deemed on Thursday that a revised bid by Paramount is a superior offer. Paramount raised its bid earlier this week to $31 per share in cash. Netflix had granted WBD a seven-day waiver to re-engage with Paramount last week.

French AI research lab Mistral AI and global consulting giant Accenture announced a multiyear partnership allowing the two companies to work together to develop enterprise tech powered by Mistral’s AI models for clients. Financial terms and the duration of the deal weren’t disclosed, but the deal also includes Accenture becoming a Mistral customer.
