With all the craziness last week of Gemini 3.0, Nano Banana Pro, Grok 4.1, ChatGPT-5.1 Pro, ChatGPT-5.1-Codex-Max... Anthropic needed to catch up! They released Opus 4.5 today, and it sounds like it's a beast of a model. According to their benchmarks, it's outperforming all those other new models in many of the metrics, plus it's considerably cheaper that Opus 4.1 (but still pretty expensive) at $5 in and $25 out. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-5 Let's see if it takes the lead...

ChatGPT-5.1 Pro launched and it's slow but smart, solving problems that people thought couldn't be solved by AI. ChatGPT-5.1-Codex-Max also launched for the vibe coders. It supposed to be able to focus on a single task for up to 24 hours working on it's own in the cloud. Gemini 3.0 Pro also went live this week, pumping insane landing pages and simple video games in a single prompt. And Nano Banana Pro also released right after Gemini 3.0 Pro, and it finally may be here. Photo-realistic images from a single prompt. Let me know if you end up trying one or all of them!

Feels like I just posted about 600 members and we're already on to the next milestone. Thank you to everyone for being here! More automations coming soon, like a certain course generator... But there's been some huge model releases so the power of automation is improving simply by connecting to smarter AI nodes. And the vibe coding possibilities are only expanding at this point, so there will be plenty of content to cover for a long time. Keep the comments and suggestions rolling in and keep automating with AI!

This is Part 3 in Automating YouTube video to Shorts using self-hosted n8n, Whisper, FFmpeg, and ChatGPT-4o. Finish up the series I'll walk through combining all the clips from Part 2 into one full short, and wrap up that short with some automatic subtitles.

This is a deeper dive into the basics of n8n in case you're just catching up. Now is the perfect time to build your first workflow and connect it to Google's new Gemini 3.0 AI model. Let me know if you have any questions!
