Today at its flagship advertiser event, Brandcast, YouTube announced it will begin rolling out Veo 3, Google's most powerful AI video generation model, on YouTube Shorts for free to select countries in MENA over the coming weeks. The announcement comes as new GWI data reveals a significant, unique audience on the platform, with 61% of YouTube Shorts users in Saudi Arabia and 54% in the UAE reporting that they do not use Instagram Reels.

For the researchers, though, all of the above examples aren't evidence of failure but instead a sign of the model's capabilities. To be listed under the paper's "failure cases," Veo 3 had to fail a tested task across all 12 trials, which happened in 16 of the 62 tasks tested. For the rest, the researchers write that "a success rate greater than 0 suggests that the model possesses the ability to solve the task."

Google's new Pixel lineup includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold . These are among the most advanced phones right now, and Google is leaving no stone unturned to convert iPhone users. Apart from the new MagSafe-like PixelSnap feature, the company is targeting Apple Intelligence's missed opportunity with a free Google AI Pro plan to sway Apple fans.

Google's Veo 3 videos have blurred the line between truth and fiction, allowing users to create remarkably realistic AI-generated videos by simply describing content.

Google has rolled out its Veo 3 video generation model for Gemini users in over 159 countries. This is available exclusively to subscribers of Google's AI Pro plan.
