Google Sets New AI Defaults as Mozilla Draws a Line

Gemini 3 Flash becomes standard — Firefox says AI will stay optional.

In partnership with

Hey Creator,

Google made two concrete moves this week: it set Gemini 3 Flash as the default model inside the Gemini app, and it brought Opal, its vibe-coding tool, directly into Gemini. Users didn’t opt in — the defaults changed.

Mozilla, meanwhile, said the opposite. Its new CEO confirmed that AI features coming to Firefox will remain a choice, not something switched on automatically.

When AI is on by default, “choice” becomes a branding claim, not a setting.

What are your thoughts?

Google is folding its Opal app builder directly into the Gemini web app so anyone can describe a workflow in plain language and turn it into a reusable “Gem” mini‑app, using a visual editor to rearrange steps and link tools together without writing code, with an advanced editor still available at opal.google.com for power users.​

YouTube is expanding its Portraits experiment so a small group of creators can offer AI versions of themselves that fans can “Talk to” on desktop, letting viewers ask questions and get responses in the creator’s style while the system is trained on content the creator has explicitly provided and approved.​

Mozilla’s new CEO Anthony Enzor‑DeMeo says Firefox will “evolve into a modern AI browser” with optional AI features, as the company tries to compete with Arc, Perplexity, and others while still appealing to users who chose Firefox for privacy, control, and a lighter, less AI‑heavy experience.​

Google has launched Gemini 3 Flash and made it the default model in the Gemini app and AI mode in Search, promising cheaper, faster multimodal reasoning that can understand videos, images, and audio, generate more visual answers, and even spin up app prototypes, while Pro remains available for heavier math and coding tasks.​

A new Creators’ Coalition on AI brings together writers, animators, VFX artists, and other entertainment workers to demand clear consent, credit, and compensation when their work or likeness is used to train or power AI tools, aiming to shape studio policies and legislation before generative tech fully remakes the industry.​

Adobe’s latest Firefly update adds a more capable video editor, better motion and style controls, and access to new and third‑party models, while offering unlimited AI generations on many Creative Cloud plans through mid‑January 2026 to encourage editors and creators to experiment with AI‑driven video workflows.

Tool Spotlight

Imagine launching a working app — web, iOS, Android — without writing a single line of code, just by telling a tool what you want. That’s the promise of CreateAnything (branded as Anything): an AI-powered app builder that turns plain-English prompts into production-ready software.

What it is, in plain English

CreateAnything is an AI app builder that turns prompts into full-stack apps: data models, backend, UI, auth, payments, and deployments. You chat with “Anything,” it reasons across multiple AI models, writes and refactors large codebases, and keeps iterating as you say things like “add a Kanban board” or “let users log in with Google.”

Who It’s For

This tool is ideal for:

  • Solo founders who want to prototype or launch an MVP fast

  • Non-technical creators who have ideas but no engineering team

  • Small teams and agencies testing product concepts

  • Side hustle builders creating niche digital tools or micro-SaaS
    You describe functionality — like a dashboard, social feed, or niche utility — and CreateAnything builds it.

How It Helps Creators

Instead of spending weeks wiring services together, beginners and experienced makers alike can turn concept to product in hours. It:

  • Eliminates manual coding for most features

  • Generates design, logic, and infrastructure in one pass

  • Lets you publish instantly to the web or app stores

  • Exports code you can extend later if needed
    This lowers the barrier between your idea and something real people can use.

Key capabilities
  • Text-to-App generation: Describe what you want and get a complete app blueprint.

  • Cross-Platform Output: Build for web, iOS, and Android from the same prompt.

  • Built-In Services: Backend, databases, authentication, payments, and hosting are generated automatically.

  • Private Projects & Custom Domains (on paid plans) let you launch branded products.

  • Exportable Code: The apps aren’t locked in a sandbox — you can continue to develop them.

  • AI Integrations and Templates speed up logic like chat, analytics, or user flows.

Pricing Snapshot
  • Free — $0/month; 3,000 credits per month, basic creation, publish and AI integrations.

  • Pro 20k — ~$16/month; 20,000 credits, private projects, remove branding, custom domains.

  • Pro 50k — ~$40/month; 50,000–55,000 credits, more usage and project capacity.

  • Pro 100k — ~$80/month (and higher tiers); 100k+ credits, even more capacity and priority features.

Credits limit how much generation you can do each month — the more complex the app, the more credits are used.

Final Take

CreateAnything is one of the few tools that genuinely shrinks idea to deployment from weeks to hours, without code. For creators who’ve ever been stuck between inspiration and implementation, this tool promises to eliminate that gap — letting you validate, iterate, and ship with minimal friction.

💡 Creators Pro Tip For Createanything

Use private projects and custom domains: Only once you’ve validated the core app idea — that way, you don’t waste credits on early iterations.

Don’t worry about people stealing your design work. Worry about the day they stop."
