Since Gemini 2.5 Pro received its upgrade this week, people have been showing off its advanced coding skills with all kinds of cool demos.

But X user Deedy published a demo of a prompting method that we didn't even realise existed and could unlock a whole new level of Vibe coding capabilities. The demo takes advantage of Gemini's incredible multimodal comprehension abilities by first recording a screencast, explaining the app that needs to get built, and then uploading it to YouTube and feeding it into Gemini as the prompt.

Incredibly, Gemini understands the video and then proceeds to faithfully code a page that does exactly what the user described, in this case, an interactive earthquake map around Japan. This is a fascinating way of using video to vibe code, and we can really see this becoming a crucial new input method.

Rumours of Grok 3.5 have been swirling all week and many people are suggesting that we could see the new xAI model drop in the next 24 hours. While we haven't seen any definite details yet, Testing Catalogue News did report that Grok's cheeky troll like Brother Gork is going to be added to Grok's voice mode.

Gork causes enough trouble with text outputs, it's likely to get itself in all kinds of hot water. Not now that it has a voice. This year we've seen a couple of demos of AI generated games where a game is created on the fly as a player moves through an ever evolving universe.

Enigma Labs has taken this concept to a whole new level with a concept they've called Multiverse. This groundbreaking model allows multiple players to play in the same space where they can interact with one another and have their actions shape a shared AI simulated world in real time. This gives us a remarkable glimpse into the future of gaming.

Pretty wild stuff. And finally, Persona AI, a Houston based startup, aims to develop specialised humanoid robots for heavy duty tasks in industrial environments like shipyards, factories and construction sites. The video showcases five distinct humanoid robot classes miner, builder, welder, fabricator and assembler, each designed for those specific tasks.

It's early days for this startup, but they have some highly experienced and talented people on their team and they've got an aggressive timeline to start shipping. It's a pretty cool concept. Let's see what they can produce.
