What's up, Carat crew here. 🙂 Today: AI built a full 6-minute drama, Codex started editing websites on its own, and 36 million students are studying with AI voices.

🔥 AI just built a full 6-minute TV drama

Video AI company Pika says it built a 6-minute TV pilot end to end inside one platform. The experiment, called Director's Suite, runs on an agent that understands and handles every part of a video project.
You describe a scene in words, and the agent handles everything from casting to footage. A short drama, made start to finish by AI.

📌 3 things happening today

1️⃣ Codex can now run your browser on its own?

OpenAI's coding agent Codex can now control Chrome directly. Hooked up to Chrome DevTools, a demo shows it opening a website, inspecting it, and editing it. In the demo, Codex changed the text color and wording on the ChatGPT page itself. It's still a very early build for now.

2️⃣ 36 million students are studying with AI voices

India's education service PhysicsWallah added ElevenLabs' AI voice to its AI doubt-solving tool. The call came after data showed 52% of students learn better by listening than by reading. Over 36 million students in India alone prep for exams with this tool, and now a text-only tool has a voice.
You can make AI voices on Carat too. 👉 Create it on Carat

3️⃣ A cat that topped every AI benchmark

One fake AI model flipped X this week. A fake leaderboard showing a fat white cat named 'Le Chaton Fat' topping every AI benchmark spread around, and it looked convincing enough that some people thought it was a real new model.
It's a parody playing on the name of Mistral's chatbot Le Chat (the cat). Mistral leaned into the joke and added the cat as a mascot in its Vibe app: a laid-back cat in chat mode, and a tie-wearing one in work mode.
