Opened Claude today... let's see what Opus 5 is all about! https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5

Ideogram 4.0 just dropped, and it's their first ever open weights release. This is HUGE!! If you do any image work in your builds (thumbnails, ad creative, lead magnets, social graphics), pay attention to this one. What's actually new: - First Ideogram model you can download and run yourself. Every version before this was closed API only. - Native 2K output with text that renders correctly, baked in. No patching it in after the fact. - Ranked #1 among all open weight models on the DesignArena leaderboard. The only models scoring higher are closed ones from OpenAI and Google. - Don't want to self host? Run it through fal.ai. Pricing starts around $0.03 per megapixel in Turbo mode, and anything you generate through the API is yours to use commercially. The text rendering is the real story. That's the thing a lot of image models still botch, and it's exactly what matters for design and ad work.

Don't let AI-written code go to team review until you can pass a 5-question quiz on what it does, no cheating. It's a speed regulator, catches gaps in understanding you'd otherwise miss, and keeps you moving at the speed of comprehension instead of just the speed of output. I just thought this was an interesting take. Watch video here: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAFDYHpH/

This one's a bit late. But in case you don't know, Sonnet 5 is the new default in Claude. It's a very capable model 👍

I made a 45 min video on where I actually stand on AI. Not hype, not doom. A data center they tried to build an hour from my house, in a drought. Some things I've caught myself doing wrong. Where I think this tech genuinely helps people and where it's just greed with better branding. Cautious optimist, but I don't hold back.
