Like &amp; Sub. xoxox</p><p>Anthropic just dropped Claude 4.5 Opus and it might be the best AI model of 2024. In this episode, we compare Claude 4.5 Opus vs Gemini 3 Pro vs GPT-5.1, breaking down the new API features including effort parameters, context management, and computer use updates. We also test Microsoft's new Farah 7B parameter model for computer use - with hilarious refusal results. Plus, we react to McKinsey's controversial report claiming AI agents could automate 57% of US jobs by 2030. </p><p>We dive deep into Anthropic's pricing (3x cheaper than Opus 4.1), why Claude is now beating Google and OpenAI on agentic coding benchmarks, and whether MCP-UI apps in ChatGPT are a step backwards for AI workflows. Is Claude 4.5 Opus the new king of AI coding assistants? Should enterprises be worried about AI job replacement? And why did Microsoft's Farah model refuse to draw a moose? All this plus an AI-generated diss track roasting Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Sundar Pichai.</p>
