March 2025 saw an explosion of activity in the AI industry. Major companies released cutting-edge AI new technologies. From OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 to Google DeepMind’s new Gemini-powered features, the AI landscape is rapidly evolving. Below, we highlight the most significant launches and announcements, drawing insights from top news and official sources.

OpenAI GPT-4.5 and New Agent-Building Tools
OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 – released as a research preview on Feb. 27, 2025 – is the latest evolution of the GPT series. It delivers more human-like conversation than its predecessors (OpenAI noted it “feels like talking to a thoughtful person”). The model is currently accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers via a model picker, and through the OpenAI API and developer playground. It also produces fewer factual errors (hallucinations) and offers more context-aware responses than prior models.
In addition, OpenAI introduced a Responses API that allows GPT-4.5 to use built-in tools (like web search or file retrieval) within a single API call. This new capability lets developers build AI agents that can perform more complex tasks by automatically invoking these tools when needed, simplifying the creation of powerful AI-driven applications.

Google DeepMind’s Gemini and the Launch of Astra
Google’s AI division, now unified under Google DeepMind, responded with its own advances. Having unveiled the Gemini 2.0 model earlier in the year, Google focused on bringing its AI into real-world use cases this March. Google also announced Project Astra, an AI assistant coming to Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android that can analyze a user’s shared screen or live video feed and provide contextual help in real time.
At the same time, Google made waves in the developer community by releasing Gemini Code Assist as a free offering. This AI-powered coding assistant, powered by the Gemini 2.0 LLM, had previously been an enterprise product but is now available to individual developers at no cost. Gemini Code Assist provides up to 180,000 code completions per month – vastly more than other free coding assistants – and integrates with popular development environments (e.g. VS Code, JetBrains)
Meta’s Generative AI Expansion with Llama and Emu
By March 2025, Meta’s AI assistant (called Meta AI) became available across WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, bringing conversational AI features into apps used by billions. This assistant is powered by Meta’s Llama-family LLMs and has access to real-time information; it can even generate photorealistic images from text prompts within seconds via Meta’s image model Emu.
On Instagram, new Restyle and Backdrop tools use Emu’s generative tech to apply artistic styles or change the background of photos. Meanwhile, AI Stickers in Meta’s messaging apps turn text prompts into custom sticker graphics, using the same Llama 2 and Emu models
Anthropic’s Claude Advances and New Entrants
Anthropic, an AI startup focused on safety and reliability, has been rapidly improving its Claude LLM. In late February 2025, Anthropic released Claude 3.7 (Sonnet), touted as its most intelligent model to date. Claude 3.7 introduced an “extended thinking mode” for chain-of-thought reasoning and showed strong improvements in coding tasks.
Now Anthropic is widely expected to launch Claude 4.0 in this period, aiming to push AI reasoning even further while maintaining its “Constitutional AI” safety principles. If delivered as anticipated, Claude 4.0 would directly challenge OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 in capability. Emerging contenders are joining the fray as well – Elon Musk’s startup xAI introduced its own Grok model in February.

Google Gemini 2.5
Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is a reasoning-based AI model that, according to Google, is particularly strong in developing web applications and coding assistants. However, it falls short in one widely recognized coding benchmark when compared to Claude Sonnet 3.7. To use this model, a Gemini Advanced subscription costing $20 per month is required.
ChatGPT-4o image generator
OpenAI has enhanced its GPT-4o model, expanding its capabilities beyond text generation to include image creation. The upgraded model quickly gained attention online for its ability to convert images into Studio Ghibli-style anime, though this raised concerns about potential copyright issues. Access to GPT-4o requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription, which starts at $20 per month.
Stability AI’s Stable Virtual Camera
Stability AI, a company specializing in image generation, has introduced a model designed to create 3D scenes and dynamic camera perspectives from just a single 2D image. Despite its impressive capabilities, the model still struggles with complex elements such as human figures and moving water. It is currently available for non-commercial research purposes on HuggingFace.
Cohere’s Aya Vision
Cohere has launched Aya Vision, a multimodal AI model that the company claims excels in tasks like generating image captions and answering visual-related questions. Unlike many other models, Aya Vision is also highly proficient in languages beyond English, according to Cohere. Users can access it for free via WhatsApp.
Dreamona.ai: AI Video Generation Goes Mainstream
Dreamona.ai is an emerging generative AI platform that turns text prompts and images into short videos, offering a creative way to bring ideas to life. It uses advanced AI algorithms to animate scenes based on a description or picture, and the results are delivered as polished video clips with no watermarks added. Key features include text-to-video transformation, the ability to animate static images, a library of styles and templates to choose from, and a user-friendly no-code interface accessible to non-technical users.
Unlike many free AI video tools, Dreamona outputs videos without any branding or watermark overlay, which is a big plus for professional content creators. The service can be tried for free and offers subscription plans (weekly, monthly, yearly) for users who need higher resolution or longer videos once they’ve tested its capabilities. For instance, describe a scene and Dreamona will visualize it in a video within minutes.
Conclusion
In summary, this flurry of AI new technologies in March 2025 – from GPT-4.5 and Claude to Google’s Gemini and beyond – highlights the breakneck pace of AI innovation. More powerful and accessible generative AI capabilities are rapidly moving from lab to mainstream, with no signs of slowing down.
