Google DeepMind's Gemini-exp-1206 model has claimed the top spot in the Chatbot Arena, overtaking OpenAI and staying completely free to use. Released on Gemini’s one-year anniversary, it can process video content—something ChatGPT and Claude can’t do—thanks to its 2M token context window, which handles over an hour of video.
While OpenAI has raised its top-tier subscription to $200 monthly, Google is bucking the trend by making this advanced AI accessible for all. With powerful performance and no cost, Gemini is setting a new standard for AI accessibility.

Meta has launched Llama 3.3, a 70B open text model that rivals the performance of the much larger Llama 3.1 405B, but at a fraction of the cost and speed. With a 128k token context window, it outshines competitors like GPT-4o and Gemini Pro 1.5 on multiple benchmarks and is up to 25x cheaper than GPT-4o.
Priced at just $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.40 per million output tokens, Llama 3.3 is proving that top-tier AI can be affordable. With nearly 600M active users, Meta’s AI is on track to become the most popular assistant globally, paving the way for the ambitious Llama 4 set for 2025.

Microsoft has unveiled Copilot Vision, a next-gen AI assistant that can see everything on your screen and respond to you in real-time through the Edge browser. This marks a major shift from traditional computer interaction to a more conversational, hands-free approach. Available first to paying Copilot subscribers in Copilot Labs, it will launch for general use early next year.
Copilot Vision aims to transform computing by replacing clicks and typing with voice commands and real-time screen comprehension. Microsoft is betting that the future of AI will feel more like chatting with a friend than operating a machine.

Clone Robotics has introduced Clone Alpha, a humanoid robot with synthetic organs and water-powered artificial muscles, set for preorder in 2025. Unlike conventional robots, it uses water-pressured "Myofiber" muscles, mimicking human movement with synthetic bones and joints.
Alpha can make drinks and sandwiches, do laundry, vacuum, and even learn new tasks via a ‘Telekinesis’ training platform. It operates on Clone’s "Cybernet" model with four depth cameras for environmental awareness. While this innovative approach promises more natural motion than other robots, the full working prototype has yet to be revealed, so potential buyers may want to hold off until more details are shared.
