Baidu's AI video model MuseSteamer is here: 5 wild video samples
The model allows users to generate visuals, sound effects, and spoken Chinese dialogue simultaneously. Reportedly, this is beneficial for advertisers, marketers, and anyone who wants to make high-quality videos without spending millions in production costs or working through extended timelines. The MuseSteamer is essentially a business-only AI tool which turns images into short videos. Baidu has also upgraded its search offerings by making them smarter, multimodal, and more personalised.
MuseSteamer is a Vision Language Model (VLM), which is a type of AI model that comes with the combined capabilities of computer vision and natural language processing. VLMs allow machines to understand and process information through images and texts, and they also let them perform tasks that require the combined understanding of visual and text data.
MuseSteamer is capable of creating 10-second clips in 1080p resolution with fully synced visuals, spoken dialogue and sound effects. Those who got to try Baidu's MuseSteamer seem to be raving about the outputs of the model. Here are some stunning video samples shared by X users.

The AI model is available in three tiers – Turbo, Pro, and Lite – which is focused on enterprise users. While Veo 3 and OpenAI's Sora are consumer-centric video models, MuseSteamer has been designed for businesses. The latest advancement from Baidu has intensified the generative AI race in China, where players like ByteDance, Tencent, Alibaba, etc., are already making rapid strides.
In May, at the Google I/O, the Alphabet Inc. company had introduced its AI video generation model, Veo 3, which has been lauded for its hyperrealistic videos. With its latest offering Baidu seems to be aiming to outpace giants like Google, OpenAI, and even Runway in this segment.

OpenAI staff plan to sell $6 billion in stock to SoftBank, other investors
Current and former OpenAI employees plan to sell approximately $6 billion worth of shares to an investor group that includes Thrive Capital, SoftBank Group Corp. and Dragoneer Investment Group, in a deal that values the ChatGPT maker at $500 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. The talks are early and the size of the share sale could still change, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The secondary share investment is on top of SoftBank's commitment to lead OpenAI's $40 billion funding round, which values the company at $300 billion, according to another person familiar with the deal. That round remains ongoing, with OpenAI recently securing $8.3 billion from a syndicate of investors. Representatives for Dragoneer and Thrive didn't respond to requests for comment. Spokespeople for OpenAI and SoftBank declined to comment. All three firms are existing OpenAI backers. Allowing employees to sell shares is an important tool for startups trying to retain top talent, without requiring the company to go public or be acquired. In some cases, early investors also use these deals to sell down their stakes, though OpenAI investors are not eligible to do so in this round, according to a person familiar with the matter. Current and former employees who spent at least two years at the company are able to participate. With its participation in the share sale, as well as its previous commitments, SoftBank is making a pivotal bet on the success of OpenAI. In addition to those deals, the Japanese conglomerate headed by Masayoshi Son recently closed a separate $1 billion purchase of OpenAI employee shares at a $300 billion valuation, according to a person familiar with the matter. Negotiations for that deal started before talks around the $500 billion secondary valuation began, they said. The $500 billion valuation would make OpenAI the world's most valuable startup, surpassing Elon Musk's SpaceX. The company expects revenue to triple this year to $12.7 billion, up from $3.7 billion in 2024, Bloomberg has reported. And the secondary deal talks come on the heels of the release of its highly-anticipated GPT-5 model. This week, OpenAI chief Sam Altman sat down with a group of reporters and shared his vision for the company, including that it wants to spend trillions of dollars on the infrastructure required to run AI services in the 'not very distant future.' 'You should expect a bunch of economists to wring their hands and say, 'This is so crazy, it's so reckless,' and whatever,' Altman said. 'And we'll just be like, 'You know what? Let us do our thing.''

OpenAI could buy Google Chrome, says Sam Altman — but only if this happens
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that the AI startup is interested in buying Google Chrome if Google is forced to sell its browser by the US government. The confirmation from Altman came just days after a Wall Street Journal report revealed that Perplexity AI had reportedly offered $34.5 billion in cash to acquire Chrome from Alphabet. Notably, Google lost an antitrust trial in the United States last year, where the judge ruled that the tech giant had illegally monopolized the online search market. As part of the remedial measures, the Department of Justice has suggested that Chrome be sold to an independent entity to level the playing field. Speaking to reporters, Sam Altman said (as quoted by TechCrunch), 'If Chrome is really going to sell, we should take a look at it.' 'Is it actually going to sell? I assumed it wasn't gonna happen,' the OpenAI CEO added. Meanwhile, there have been reports that OpenAI is building its own AI browser, and Altman confirmed that the recent addition of its CEO of Applications, Fidji Simo, means the company is working on many consumer applications outside of ChatGPT. Altman also stated that OpenAI is interested in exploring a new social media platform, saying there is 'nothing' inspiring to him about the way AI is used on social media today, TechCrunch reported. He said OpenAI is interested in 'whether or not it is possible to build a much cooler kind of social experience with AI.' The OpenAI CEO also confirmed that the company would be backing a neural interface startup called Merge Labs to compete with Elon Musk's Neuralink. 'I think neural interfaces are cool ideas to explore. I would like to be able to think something and have ChatGPT respond to it,' he added. Notably, tensions have flared up between Musk and Altman over alleged Apple bias over App Store. While Musk accused the iPhone maker of being biased towards ChatGPT and not featuring his Grok AI application in any of its rankings, Altman took a dig at the billionaire over X's own policies of amplifying Musks' tweets to all users.

Best of BS Opinion: Myanmar tensions, Dubai's Malathon, and Sindoor lessons
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) Amendment Bill aims to reinforce core principles while streamlining processes. By undoing the Vidarbha Industries and Rainbow Papers rulings, it restores the original insolvency trigger and prioritises secured creditors over government dues. It strengthens the 'clean slate' principle, binds all stakeholders to approved resolution plans, and safeguards existing licences. Tighter timelines for adjudicating authorities, incorporation of regulatory provisions into the Code, and new rules for creditor committees are notable steps. Yet, as M S Sahoo points out, persistent inequities — such as the gap between recoveries for financial and operational creditors — remain unaddressed, and cross-border provisions risk concentrating power with the executive. Shifting to the Northeast, political developments in Myanmar and Manipur carry significant regional implications. Myanmar's plan to hold elections in December 2025 comes even as civil war leaves border states vulnerable to Chinese influence. These tensions spill over into Mizoram, Nagaland, and Manipur, where infiltration from Myanmar is tied to ethnic strife between Meitei and Kuki-Zo groups. Measures like scrapping the Free Movement Regime and initiating border fencing may take years to complete. Resistance groups with cross-border ties remain active. As Aditi Phadnis notes, while President's rule in Manipur has reduced violence, incidents like the June 2025 protests show underlying divisions remain ahead of pivotal elections in Myanmar, India, and Bangladesh. In Dubai, coping with August heat that touches 50 degree Celsius has taken a novel turn. The 'Mallathon,' organised by the Dubai Sports Council, opens shopping malls early for walkers and joggers, creating climate-controlled fitness spaces. About 500 people participate daily, including corporate teams, with attractions like robotic humanoid races adding flair. Inspired by similar practices in colder regions abroad, the initiative, says Sandeep Goyal, has been embraced as an inclusive and practical response to extreme weather, even if some critics dismiss it as image-building. Meanwhile, Operation Sindoor has reignited debate on air force doctrines. The Pakistan Air Force traditionally focuses on fleet preservation and air-to-air combat tallies, while the Indian Air Force prioritises strategic objectives, even at higher aircraft loss rates. As Shekhar Gupta observes, the IAF's strikes on preselected targets contrasted sharply with the PAF's defensive posture, reflecting a longstanding divergence in approach. Finally, Kumar Abishek delves into the science of randomness, distinguishing it from unpredictability and highlighting its role in cryptography, simulations, and secure communications. Advances in quantum computing now allow certified randomness generation, a reminder of both technology's reach and nature's limits. Stay tuned!
