Google Veo 3 now available in India with a Gemini Pro subscription: Details
Initially, Veo 3 access was limited to subscribers of Google's Ultra Plan and later expanded to Pro-tier in select regions. While India was not initially included in the supported regions, some users had already started seeing the Veo 3 option appear in their Gemini app—hinting at a possible expansion. Google has now officially confirmed its availability in the country.
Subscription required for Veo 3
Veo 3 was originally launched for AI Ultra subscribers; now, it is also available with AI Pro subscription (which costs Rs 1,950 per month) through a lighter version called 'Veo 3 Fast.'
This version continues to produce eight-second videos at 720p resolution, but thanks to backend optimisations, it delivers results twice as fast. Pro users can generate up to three Veo 3 Fast videos per day, after which access reverts to the previous Veo 2 model.
Google's AI Ultra subscription is now also available in India, priced at Rs 24,500 per month.
Google Veo 3 in Gemini app: How to generate videos
Open the Gemini mobile app on your smartphone.
Ensure you have an active Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription.
In the text box, type a prompt describing the video you want to generate.
Below the text box, tap More > Video > Submit.
Videos generated using Veo 3 in the Gemini app are eight seconds long and include audio. To download the video, simply tap on the video and then select Download.
Google Veo 3: What is new?
Unveiled at Google's I/O event last month, Veo 3 is the company's most advanced video generation model yet. Unlike earlier versions, it can produce not just lifelike visuals from written prompts, but also synchronised audio—ranging from ambient background sounds to spoken dialogue.
According to Google blog post: 'Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing. It's great at understanding; you can tell a short story in your prompt, and the model gives you back a clip that brings it to life.'
Veo 3 also powers Flow, Google's AI filmmaking platform, which enables paid users to generate 1080p resolution videos, leverage advanced camera controls, extend existing footage, and more.

MacBook Air M4 available with Rs 17,910 discount offer, here is how the deal works
The MacBook Air M4 is available with up to Rs 17,910 discount offer on Vijay Sales, which is a steal deal for many because this is the latest MacBook Air model from Apple and you will hardly see such a big discount on a new version. People who have been planning to buy the MacBook Air M4 now is probably the best time to buy one because this is the maximum discount you can get on it. Here is how the deal Air M4 available with Rs 17,910 discount offerThe MacBook Air M4 is listed on Vijay Sales at Rs 91,990 for the 16GB RAM + 256GB SSD version. This is for the Sky Blue model. To recall, this device was introduced at Rs 99,900. This means that consumers are getting a flat discount of Rs 7,910 without any terms or conditions. In addition to this, there is also an extra discount of Rs 10,000 on ICICI, SBI and Kotak bank credit cards. This will effectively reduce the price to Rs 81,990. So, you are getting a total discount of Rs 17,910. MacBook Air M4: Is it worth buying?Apple's new MacBook Air with the M4 chip brings a solid performance boost over earlier models, especially if you are coming from the M1 version. With a 10-core CPU, it packs more power than the M3's 8-core chip. Apple claims it's nearly double the speed of the M1, though the real-world difference from the M3 might be smaller. There aren't many new features in terms of design or functionality, but the M4 does improve overall efficiency and multitasking. If you are still using an M1 MacBook Air, this could be a good moment to consider switching. The updated version now includes a better 12-megapixel camera with smart features like Center Stage and Desk View. It also supports two external displays, which is great news for users looking for a more capable said, if you already own an M2 or M3 Air, the performance difference may not be as huge as you might be expecting in everyday tasks. Benchmark tests show that the M4 chip is about 25-30 per cent faster in CPU performance and offers roughly 21 per cent improvement in GPU power compared to the M3. So unless your laptop feels slow or your work involves heavy processing, the upgrade might not be a new buyers or anyone still holding on to older Intel or M1 models, the M4 MacBook Air is a solid deal. With discounts like 7,910 off and additional Rs 10,000 card offers, it is a powerful laptop that will remain future-ready for years. But those already on newer MacBooks might want to hold off unless there's a clear need for more power.- Ends

ChatGPT is obsessed with the number '27'! Experts reveal shocking details
If you've ever asked ChatGPT to 'pick a number between 1 and 50,' chances are it replied with 27. It's not just a one-off thing. This oddly specific number keeps showing up across AI models, from ChatGPT to Gemini and Claude. (I tried it too.) What started as a harmless prompt has now snowballed into a curious internet mystery: Why is AI so obsessed with 27? Multiple AI models show the same behaviour, and experts believe it's revealing something surprisingly human hiding in the data.(Pexels) Turns out, the explanation goes deeper than just randomness, and it might reveal more about us than about the machines. I asked ChatGPT to choose a number between 1 to 50 and it chose 27.(ChatGPT) The pattern no one expected Several users and researchers recently began experimenting with basic numerical prompts across leading AI chatbots. The results were strangely consistent. While a few models, like LeChat, occasionally veer towards 37 and Claude towards 42, 27 remained a recurring favourite, especially in ChatGPT. Medium writer, Kartikey Sengar, was one of the first to point this out in his article analysing cross-platform outputs. He called the pattern 'too frequent to be a coincidence,' adding, 'It's not that 27 is programmed into the model—it's that it somehow keeps surfacing across AI behavior.' Is it really the AI - or is it us? Before diving into conspiracy theories, it's important to remember one thing: AI doesn't dream up numbers on its own. Models like ChatGPT are trained on massive datasets sourced from books, websites, forums and human conversations. Their patterns are rooted in our own behaviour. So, could this preference for 27 be a mirror reflecting our own subconscious? Experts think so. 'AI is not magical. It's predictive. If humans tend to lean toward 27 in casual number selections, the model learns to do the same,' says an AI researcher who has worked on large language model behaviour. 'The output is a reflection of the input—us.' The cultural significance of the number 27 Why 27, though? It's not a round number, nor is it the halfway point in a range of 1 to 50. But 27 does hold surprising significance in both science and pop culture. For one, the Moon takes about 27 days to orbit the Earth. Human skin cells also regenerate every 27 days, and in numerology, 27 is considered a 'spiritually charged' number. Then there's the infamous '27 Club'—a group of iconic musicians like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, and Jimi Hendrix who all died at age 27. All these layers of meaning could be why the number has organically found its way into more content and, in turn, AI training datasets. What AI's favourite number says about us More than a quirk, this numerical fixation reveals how artificial intelligence can surface hidden patterns in human behaviour. The next time an AI spits out 27, it's not because it's haunted, it's because our cultural consciousness has nudged it in that direction. As models grow more sophisticated, even these small, strange patterns offer a peek into the evolving relationship between human minds and machine learning. So yes, ChatGPT might be obsessed with 27! But maybe, just maybe… we were too, all along.
