Episode notes
Opus 4.5 Tops Coding And Benchmarks
- Opus 4.5 achieves state-of-the-art results across many benchmarks, including over 80% on the SWE bench. Jaeden Schafer highlights that Claude Code remains popular but Opus is closing gaps versus Grok and Gemini.
Validate Models With Product Demos
- Try demo products to validate model claims because Anthropic releases concrete tools (Chrome, Excel) that showcase real capabilities. Expect premium tiers initially and wider rollout later as capacity grows.
