Google Gemini 3.1 Pro and Seedance 2.0 Released [Model Behavior]

/ 04:07/E973
Google has released Gemini 3.1 Pro, a new core reasoning model that significantly outperforms GPT 5.2 on logical benchmarks like ARC-AGI-2 and Humanity's Last Exam. The model is now available across Google’s ecosystem, alongside the integration of the Lyria 3 music generation tool. Meanwhile, Anthropic has launched Claude Sonnet 4.6, emphasizing improved 'computer use' capabilities and security against prompt injection. In the video space, ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 is causing friction in Hollywood as Disney and Paramount issue cease-and-desist letters over the use of copyrighted characters. We also examine Meta’s integration of the Manus AI assistant into Ads Manager and a new physics-based protein prediction tool from the National University of Singapore called D-I-TASSER, which improves accuracy by 13 percent over previous methods. Director-level AI leader Chad Thompson joins us to discuss the enterprise security risks of agentic computer use and operational resilience.

In today’s episode, we examine a wave of major model updates and industry integrations, including Google’s release of Gemini 3.1 Pro and Anthropic’s rollout of Claude Sonnet 4.6. We analyze the benchmark performance of Gemini 3.1 Pro, which recently surpassed GPT 5.2 on Humanity's Last Exam, and discuss Anthropic’s improved 'computer use' capabilities. Additionally, we look at the tension between ByteDance’s new Seedance 2.0 video generator and major Hollywood studios like Disney and Paramount over copyright concerns. Finally, we cover Meta's integration of the Manus AI assistant and a breakthrough in protein prediction from researchers at the National University of Singapore. Guest Chad Thompson provides a systems-level perspective on enterprise risk and the security implications of these new autonomous capabilities.
