As of now, the AI chatbot only understands text-based prompts, but we expect it to support uploading pictures for video generation. Since the feature has already been used by many, the AI video generation is taking slightly longer than usual to generate videos. Due to the surge in traffic, Ask Perplexity account also said, 'I've read through your video request DMs. Some of y'all need help.'
Previously, X was only capable of generating images with its own Grok AI chatbot. However, with Perplexity AI, users can also generate intuitive videos. The AI startup also ensures that the AI videos will be integrated with content filters to prevent any misuse of the new feature.

Why Jane St ban may not hit trading
SEBI MUMBAI: Markets regulator Sebi's Rs 4,850-crore disgorgement order against global algo-based trader Jane Street group and its temporary ban from Dalal Street - for market manipulation - is unlikely to deter proprietary (prop) firms from trading on domestic bourses. Rather, the clampdown is expected to improve compliance and corporate governance among brokerages and funds that trade with prop funds, market players said. Despite concerns about drop in futures & options volumes in the backdrop of the ban on the US-based foreign fund, Sebi remains steadfast about its stand about strict adherence to its rules by market participants and non-tolerance of any attempt of manipulation, its chairman said. One of the fallouts of the Sebi order was the sharp slide in the stock prices of some of the broking houses and market infra institutions that analysts feel would be affected by a drop in F&O volumes, at least in the short term. On Friday, the day after Sebi's order was released, Nuvama Wealth Management that also has a broking arm, lost over 11% while Angel One, another tech-heavy financial services firm with a robust broking outfit, lost nearly 6%. Among the institutions, BSE, the biggest among the listed bourses, closed 6.4% down while CDSL, the biggest depository, lost 2.3%. Angel One chairman & MD Dinesh Thakkar said, in an email, that over the past few years, retail participation in India's F&O segment had surged about 20 times, something that has fuelled liquidity, volatility, and opportunity. "Proprietary trading desks thrive in such environments, leveraging high-frequency and algorithmic strategies. With millions of active retail traders and deepening institutional activity, India's market opportunity is structural and not cyclical. Also, this is not dependent on any one firm." Sebi officials also feel that there should not be any major market impact from the enforcement action."In the long run, the growth in market confidence, and a free and fair market, should aid responsible investing and capital formation," a Sebi source said.

PSBs may remove min balance fines
Savings a/c slowdown: PSBs may scrap min balance fines MUMBAI: Public sector banks are reconsidering the need for customers to maintain minimum balances in savings accounts, following discussions with the finance ministry over the declining share of current and savings accounts in total deposits. Canara Bank , Bank of Baroda , Punjab National Bank and Indian Bank have recently dropped this requirement, which means that customers who fail to maintain the minimum prescribed balance will not have to pay a penalty. In a recent meeting, finance ministry officials are understood to have questioned banks on the need to penalise customers who do not maintain minimum balance. The concern stemmed from the slowdown in low-cost current and savings account deposits. RBI in its financial stability report noted that "banks' liability profile is changing with the share of higher-cost term deposits and CDs growing compared to low-cost current account and savings account (Casa) deposits" According to bankers, Jan Dhan data suggests that while many of these accounts were initially dormant, balances rose steadily. This experience appears to have influenced the policy shift. SBI was the first to eliminate minimum balance requirements in 2020. The move followed public criticism after an RTI revealed that penalties collected for non-maintenance of balances exceeded the bank's net profit, which had been offset by provisions for bad loans. Traditionally, public sector banks had lower balance requirements compared to private banks with the requirement waived for Jan Dhan accounts. Besides the mandatory exclusion of Jan Dhan accounts, private banks also waive minimum balance requirements on salary accounts and on those accounts where the customers maintain a threshold in terms of 'relationship value' which includes fixed deposits and other investments. Historically, banks have been using returns generated from low-interest savings accounts to cross-subsidise banking services which were provided free of charge. However, incremental costs for banks have reduced as most banking services are now provided through digital channels. The new approach is to recover the costs of maintaining accounts through other means - such as debit card fees and charges for transactions beyond free limits.

Donald Trump's tariff letters to hit 12 countries as trade deadline chaos looms
President Trump has signed "take it or leave it" letters to 12 countries on Monday, slapping new tariffs of 10% to 70% on their exports to the U.S. These taxes kick in August 1 unless deals are made by Wednesday's deadline. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned 100 smaller nations they'll face April's original tariffs if they don't hurry up. "If you don't move things along, you'll boomerang back," he said Sunday. Only the UK and Vietnam have deals so far, everyone else faces chaos. Businesses worldwide are panicking, unsure if their goods will get taxed . Vietnam relatively got the best deal: Its exports to America face 20% tariffs (down from 46%), but "transshipped" Chinese goods will get hit with 40%. The UK kept its 10% rate but opened its markets to U.S. cars and aircraft. Meanwhile, Japan was called "spoiled" by Trump and may face 35% tariffs, higher than April's 24%.The EU is sweating over threatened 50% taxes on its cars and cheese. All weekend, EU leaders argued: Germany wants any deal to avoid disaster, while France refuses a 'bad deal'. India might get last-minute mercy, but Trump grumbled, 'Letters are easier than talks'.Canada escaped the letters, at least for now. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra promised a "real deal" by July 21, but warned Canada might still pay some tariffs. Thailand offered a last-minute deal: more U.S. farm sales and Boeing jet buys to avoid 36% tariffs. South Korea begged for extra time, even offering factory House adviser Kevin Hassett hinted some countries could get deadline extensions if they're "close to a deal," but Trump snapped, "Not really" when asked about flexibility. The confusion is crushing businesses. "You can't plan costs when rules change weekly," said trade expert Clark Packard. The tariffs could make everything from electronics to groceries pricier for Americans. Though Trump claims "foreign countries pay," experts confirm U.S. importers foot the bill and pass costs to consumers. A 10% baseline tariff has already been in place since April, but jumps like Japan's potential 35% would cause bigger price hikes. Legal battles might save some: A U.S. court already ruled most tariffs illegal, but the decision is on hold. For now, the chaos continues. "We'll see," Bessent teased about Wednesday's deadline, adding deals might pop up "very quickly." But with 200+ trade partners, most will likely face taxes or empty promises.
