Building AI agents that run businesses

[Raz @RazShows]

Everyone's posting about AI agents. I prefer giving them jobs.
Meet Jack. His job: getting you a London tradesperson without three days of phone tag for 40 minutes of work.
Talk to him, show him on camera, or just type. He scopes it, prices it, books a vetted pro.

I would pay good money to watch this England vs Argentina in cinema. Well done @Arminn_Ai and I hope FIFA will lose.

Any extension without a limit reset is a scam

[Raz @RazShows]

@yongfook Aim higher!

[Raz @RazShows]

@thsottiaux Not exactly clear how removing the 5h limit of the weekly rate got 🔥 burned . I’ll ask Claude

[Raz @RazShows]

Nerfing fixed. Must be hard to calibrate intelligence with greed.

[Raz @RazShows]

GpT Sol burns token faster than Fable 5. A bit overrated. ChatGPT Work is also a rushed product. A bit disappointing and whatever influences with 2 months advanced access is a bit BS

[Raz @RazShows]

Guess who’s back!

[Claude @claudeai]

We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19.

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

You're not angry enough. EU parliamentarians explain how the EU leadership used its own abuse of power to push through the law of mass chat surveillance (Chat Control) against its own guidelines. A disgrace.

[Raz @RazShows]

Claude Fable 5 is clearly superior to any other AI model at the moment in terms of intelligence and cost. It’s the gold standard.

Another reset, which is unfortunately necessary as well.

Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly clear that the token burn rate is simply insane. I have never come close to hitting the 5-hour and weekly limits this quickly on the Pro tier as I have with 5.6 Sol. I mostly use High, not Fast Mode.

5.6 is undoubtedly better. The improvement is most noticeable in frontend work. That was where I immediately noticed that they had genuinely caught up. 5.6 also works better and remains agentic for longer. I am very satisfied overall. It is a significant step forward, if it were not for the rapid consumption.

I also still do not understand the “super app” concept. Why should I use the “Work” environment when Codex does exactly the same thing while also displaying more information? And why do I still have the classic ChatGPT app? Perhaps I missed something, but at the moment this is once again creating more confusion.

I am still hoping for resets, because otherwise this will become difficult. As for the claim that 5.6 is 54% more token-efficient, I consider that made up. It does not align with my usage at all. In fact, the opposite seems true. It feels more like 54% less token-efficient.

So, 5.6 is a good update with one major caveat.

We need to reform EU to make Europe great again

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

The video is admittedly pure polemic. But given the EU's "chat control" proposal, I am currently left with nothing but polemic. I am frustrated.

[Raz @RazShows]

Chat control is what Europe can do at the moment. That’s the level. #chatcontrol

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

This week changed the whole game. Seriously. A brief recap:

Until just a few days ago, it was a race between OpenAI and Anthropic, the two dominant frontier labs. Almost out of nowhere, SpaceX appeared with Cursor and released Grok 4.5, a model positioned at the level of GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8, but significantly more cost-efficient. This has increased the pressure on OpenAI and Anthropic, and a third player has entered the race, because SpaceX’s next major model is still in training, and Grok 4.5 has shown that they can truly compete. The Cursor deal is paying off.

But then today Meta Spark 1.1 also appeared out of nowhere and delivered an outstanding performance with its new agentic coding model. After releasing its own image model just a few days ago, Meta has now followed up with a new agentic coding model, and the evals are impressive.

The battle between Anthropic and OpenAI has been reshuffled.

And as if that were not enough, there has been news all week that Chinese labs are now starting to develop their own chips, especially inference chips. At the same time, China now wants to move toward blocking its best models from the West. Whether this is tactics or certainty, one thing is clear: It is not only the domestic race among the US labs, now four giants, that is expanding. The international contest between the US and China is also entering its next round and intensifying.

And what is Europe doing in this race?

Oh. Europe has violated its own rules and laws by using an expedited procedure that involved no urgency and was only carried out to push it through before the summer break, because most members of parliament are already on summer vacation. A law that had already been rejected twice was quickly put to a vote for a third time. In the EU, they keep voting until the desired result comes out, all to enable the mass surveillance of all Europeans’ chats by law. Mass surveillance has now been legitimized.

The US and China are competing in the race for AGI, RSI, and ASI. Europe is creating facts on surveillance. A week full of highs and lows.

[Raz @RazShows]

@signulll Looks like they’re always one step behind Claude

[Raz @RazShows]

Good timing!

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We've reset 5-hour and weekly rate limits for all users.

[Raz @RazShows]

👌

@Andy_AJT Surge pricing on Jack when temperatures get over 30 degrees celsius https://t.co/SJwOGUN0Fs

[Raz @RazShows]

@bindureddy The day is almost over and no 5.6 yet but strangely I have the ChatGPT live voice

[Raz @RazShows]

Same, unfortunately I’ll have to start a YouTube channel to get access to GPT-6

[Tyler @rezoundous]

Seems like I can finally talk about GPT-5.6.

And the fact that everyone had early access except for me.

Adele should be worried, there’s a non negligible chance he will win. He wants to nationalise Adele!
