Good morning. Google I/O is next week and Veo 4 is looking very likely. Kling AI is spinning off at a $20 billion valuation. And people are turning their most unhinged text threads into full songs with AI. What's the craziest AI text song you've seen? Hit reply and tell me. We cover all three below.
📺 Veo 4 Is Expected at Google I/O Next Week and the Specs Are Wild
Google I/O 2026 runs May 19-20 and multiple signals point to a Veo 4 reveal. Prediction markets are giving it ~69% odds of launching before June. Google has used I/O for major Veo announcements twice before, Veo 1 in May 2024 and Veo 3 in May 2025. The pattern is hard to ignore.
Rumored specs include 30-second video generation, native 4K output, built-in storyboarding, and improved character consistency. If those land, this is a generational leap, not an incremental update. Veo went from Labs to Google Vids to your actual television in a matter of months. A Veo 4 drop would put even more pressure on Runway, Kling, and everyone else in the space.
If you're thinking about locking into an annual plan on any AI video tool right now, hold off. Wait until after I/O. Whatever Google announces next week will either change your workflow or change the pricing of everything else. Either way, you want to see it first.
Kling AI Is Spinning Off at a $20 Billion Valuation
Kuaishou, the Chinese short-video giant behind Kling AI, is planning to spin off the video generation unit as its own company and take it public by 2027. The target valuation is $20 billion. For context, Kuaishou's own market cap is about $25 billion. They're valuing the AI video tool at nearly 80% of the entire parent company.
Kling launched in June 2024 and generates 1080p video up to two minutes long from text prompts. It's been one of the most competitive alternatives to Runway and Sora. Revenue has been growing fast, with an annual run rate reportedly north of $300 million as of early 2026.
For creators, this is mostly a signal story. When a company spins off its AI video unit at this kind of valuation, it tells you where the money thinks the industry is going. AI video generation isn't a feature anymore. It's becoming its own category. Keep using whatever tool works best for you, but know that the investment behind these platforms is only accelerating.
🎤 People Are Turning Their Text Messages Into Songs and It's Taking Over TikTok
There's a new trend where people screenshot their text message threads, paste them into Suno, and the AI turns the conversation into a fully produced song. Choruses, bridges, vocals, the whole thing. One husband turned his pregnant wife's texts into a punk track and it got millions of views. Other people are turning their toxic ex's messages into rap diss tracks. The range is unhinged.
The reason it works is that real text conversations already have natural rhythm. Short lines, repetition, emotional swings. Suno picks up on that structure and builds around it. You don't need to know anything about music production. You paste the texts, pick a genre, and the tool handles the rest.
For creators, this is a content format sitting right there. The barrier is literally copy-paste. If you have a funny group chat, a chaotic family thread, or a customer service exchange that went sideways, that's a video. The trend is still early enough to ride.
