🎵 Gemini Now Makes Music

Gemini is expanding from images and video into music, bringing DeepMind’s Lyria 3 into the Gemini app in beta. DeepMind has been building Lyria since 2023, and this is the first time the technology is reaching a broad consumer audience.  

The Shift:

1. Smarter, More Creative Tracks - Lyria 3 writes lyrics automatically and lets users guide genre, tempo, and vocal style while producing more realistic and musically complex tracks than earlier versions.

2. Create From Text, Photos, or Video - You can describe a mood or memory, or upload visuals, and Gemini will compose a matching soundtrack complete with AI-generated cover art for easy sharing.

3. Built-In Watermark and Verification - Every track includes Google’s SynthID watermark, and Gemini can analyze uploaded audio files to check whether they were created using Google AI tools.

4. YouTube and Global Rollout - Lyria 3 powers Dream Track for YouTube Shorts, helping creators customize soundtracks, and is now available in multiple languages with higher limits for Google AI subscribers.

Gemini is turning AI into a pocket music studio, blending creativity, safety controls, and platform reach. For creators and casual users alike, expression is getting faster, easier, and far more interactive.

🎬 How to Generate 500+ High-Converting Videos in Minutes with Buzzy

Most brands spend weeks producing creatives. Some are now generating hundreds in minutes.

Here’s how to use Buzzy Viral Scaler:

1️⃣ Start with one core idea: Upload your base concept, product angle, or existing winning ad.

2️⃣ Let Buzzy scan viral patterns: It analyzes trending ads, breaks down the “viral recipe,” and identifies structures that convert.

3️⃣ Auto-generate variations at scale: Background swaps, hook changes, pacing tweaks, character swaps. Hundreds of versions, optimized for performance.

4️⃣ Export and test immediately: Each video costs a few dollars, making mass testing actually viable.

Instead of guessing what works, you scale what’s already proven. You can try it here 

🎨 From Code to Canvas in Real-time

Figma has rolled out a new Code to Canvas integration with Claude, a new workflow designed to bring development and design closer together.

The Shift:

1. Capture Live UI into Figma - It lets teams take interfaces created in Claude Code and instantly turn them into fully editable design layers inside Figma, without rebuilding anything from scratch. 

2. Edit, Compare, and Explore - Teams can duplicate screens, test variations, compare flows side by side, and annotate decisions while even capturing full multi-step journeys in one session for shared review.

3. Close the Loop Back to Code - With Figma’s MCP server, edited designs can move back into coding environments through a prompt and frame link, helping developers rebuild with full context intact.

This rollout also comes at a tense moment for Figma, with its stock down roughly 85% from last summer’s high amid broader SaaS selloffs tied to AI coding fears. Being able to move fluidly between building and exploring changes how teams think. The real advantage is not just speed, but the ability to shape better ideas before they harden into code.

Wall Street Just Named the Most Crowded Trades of 2026

AI stocks. Metals. Crypto.

Surprise, surprise; gold crashed 16%. Silver plunged 34%. Bitcoin dropped to 1 year lows.

All supposedly "uncorrelated" assets moving in lockstep largely because of overleveraged margin.

JPM strategists warn that the same leverage is still a risk.

Those markets may be recovering now, but cascading liquidations could trigger quickly across several asset classes simultaneously.

So much for diversifying away risk, right?

But get this–

70,819 everyday investors have allocated $1.3 billion fractionally across 500+ exclusive investments. 

Not real estate or PE… Blue-chip art. Sounds crazy, right?

Now it’s easy to invest in art featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, thanks to Masterworks.

They do the heavy lifting from acquisition to sale, so you can diversify with the strategy typically limited to the ultra-wealthy.

(Past sales delivered net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% on works held longer than a year.)*
