From Generative AI to Action-Oriented Agents
2025 was a period in which AI technologies evolved from being tools that only generate text or images into systems that can autonomously perform complex tasks. Large Language Models (LLM) gradually gave way to Large Action Models.
Image and Video Processing Technologies
The models released this year made major progress, especially in physical consistency and editing capabilities.
- Nano Banana (Google DeepMind): Using the Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 3 Pro infrastructure, this model stood out particularly in 3D modeling and stylization. With its "3D Figurine" mode, it can turn objects and people into highly accurate modeled figurines.
- Sora 2 (OpenAI): Unlike the previous version, audio generation, actor control, and editing capabilities were added. Thanks to the "Cameo" feature, users can integrate their own faces or specific characters into videos.
- Veo Series (Google): Focused on professional content production, Veo 2 and 3 offer high realism in lighting, shadow, and fluid mechanics with physics engine support.
Gemini 3 and Software Development Processes
Gemini 3, introduced by Google, has a structure that can plan complex tasks and build its own tools by writing code with "Thinking Mode". Working integrated with the Google Antigravity platform, the model accelerated the transition from a no-code structure to AI-assisted coding (AI-Code).
Autonomous Browsers: Atlas and Comet
Browser technologies evolved from passive page viewing to active task management.
- OpenAI Atlas: This Chromium-based browser autonomously carries out user commands (for example, product comparison and adding to cart) with "Agent Mode".
- Perplexity Comet: Specialized in information-focused tasks, Comet can scan academic sources and documents and generate reports with verified references.
