Google's Veo 2 video generation model is now available in the Gemini API with a cost of 35 cents per second of generated video, marking a significant step in accessible video generation. Meanwhile, China's Kling 2 model launched with pricing around $2 for a 10-second clip and a minimum subscription of $700 per month for 3 months, generating excitement despite some skill challenges. OpenAI announced the GPT-4.1 family release, including GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano, highlighting improvements in coding, instruction following, and a 1 million token context window. The GPT-4.1 models are 26% cheaper than GPT-4o and will replace the GPT-4.5 Preview API version by July 14. Performance benchmarks show GPT-4.1 achieving 54-55% on SWE-bench verified and a 60% improvement over GPT-4o in some internal tests, though some critiques note it underperforms compared to other models like OpenRouter and DeepSeekV3 in coding tasks. The release is API-only, with a prompting guide provided for developers.
