Good morning, In a few minutes, here's what you'll learn today.
Today, you'll discover a new AI video editor that lets you transform footage with plain text commands—no timeline wrestling needed. Plus, we're covering four major stories that matter to you: IBM's new speed boost for enterprise AI that makes customer service actually instant, OpenAI's massive chip partnership with Broadcom that could reshape data center costs, an AI-designed cancer drug showing real promise in clinical trials, and tech companies teaming up with teachers' unions to train educators on AI tools worth millions. Let's dive in.

Today’s AI Tool Breakdown: Pollo AI Video Editor
Quick overview
Pollo AI launched a video editor that lets you change any video by typing what you want—turn day to night, remove objects, or shift camera angles without touching a timeline. Think of it like a word processor for video.
How to use it
Go to pollo.ai/ai-video-editor and sign up (free account gives you 10 credits for ~2 test videos)
Click AI Video Editor from the left menu
Upload your video file (MP4, MOV, or similar)
Type what you want to change in plain English—"make it rainy" or "remove the person in the background"
Pick your video length (5 or 10 seconds) and aspect ratio
Hit Create and wait 30–60 seconds for your edited clip
Copy/paste starter script
Try this: "Change the weather from sunny to overcast and add a vintage film look." Paste that into the prompt box after uploading any outdoor video.
Real-world use cases
Fix lighting in product videos without reshooting
Remove watermarks or unwanted objects from footage
Create multiple style variations of the same clip for A/B testing
Change backgrounds in testimonial videos to match your brand
Pro tips
Be specific in your prompts—"add light rain with puddle reflections" works better than "make it wet"
Start with shorter clips (5 seconds) to save credits while testing
Use the "restyle subject only" option to keep backgrounds unchanged
Free vs paid
Free: 10 credits (roughly 1–2 short videos), watermarked outputs, 1 task at a time, access to all editing features.
Paid: Lite plan at ~$10/month for 300 credits (30 videos), no watermarks, faster processing. Pro at $25/month for 800 credits (80 videos), 1080p output, 3 parallel tasks.
Alternatives
Runway Gen-3 — better for creating videos from scratch but steeper learning curve
CapCut AI — solid all-around editor with more traditional timeline tools plus AI features
Descript — best if you also need transcript-based editing and audio cleanup

Today In AI News, The Top 4 Stories (And Why They Matter)
This matters because: Companies moving AI from pilot projects to real production face slow response times and high costs. This partnership promises to fix that bottleneck.
Quick summary: IBM teamed up with Groq to offer 5x faster AI responses through IBM's watsonx platform using Groq's specialized chips. Healthcare clients can now answer thousands of patient questions at once with instant, accurate replies. Think of it like switching from dial-up to fiber internet for your chatbot.
This matters because: Building custom chips lets OpenAI optimize hardware specifically for their models, potentially cutting costs and boosting performance as they scale up.
Quick summary: OpenAI announced a deal with Broadcom to design and deploy 10 gigawatts worth of custom AI chips starting in late 2026. That's enough power for roughly 8 million homes. Instead of relying only on Nvidia, OpenAI is embedding lessons from building GPT and other models directly into the silicon. It's like designing your own engine instead of buying one off the shelf.
This matters because: Most cancer drugs take over a decade to develop. An AI-designed drug reaching trials this fast could speed up how we find treatments.
Quick summary: Iambic Therapeutics reported that their AI-designed drug for HER2 gene mutations showed anti-tumor activity in heavily treated patients. The AI platform designed a molecule that's 1,000 times more selective than older drugs and crosses into the brain to fight metastases. Like having a GPS-guided missile instead of a shotgun.
This matters because: Four million U.S. teachers need to understand AI fast, but schools lack funding. These partnerships bring real training dollars to classrooms.
Quick summary: Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic are giving over $21 million to the American Federation of Teachers to train 400,000 educators over five years. The plan includes opening AI training hubs in New York and other cities, teaching teachers how to use—and evaluate—AI tools in classrooms. It's like driver's ed for the AI highway that's already here.
