We got Google with the strongest AI model in the world before GTA 6

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@Da7_Tech They have lost all credibility if they hadn't already. Real life and AA benchmarks are 2 different things. There should be a 20 point gap between opus 5.5 and anything else

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@ArtificialAnlys You forgot the "paid promotion" by open ai 😂

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@intheworldofai Only Anthropic can dethrone Anthropic

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@MatthewBerman If the AI subsidies stopped today and we had to pay api prices I think deepseek flash would be the most used AI. It is very capable

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

I dont see how Terra will get people to leave Opus 5.5 when its basically unlimited on the $100 plan. I'm running out of ideas of things to build. I think I might build a small game next 🤔

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@JustinGorya For me personally Opus 5.5 has been so good I could use it forever. I dont have the need for a better model. Not that I won't gladly use a stronger model but Opus has fixed every issues I have had in my projects with ease

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@RobGrieves I got it for free. I used my student email to sign up for cursor free for 12 months and grokbot access is included. Hope this helps someone

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@MatthewBerman Just sounds like it is very capable then?

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@thisiskp_ @claudeai @cursor_ai @Netlify @Gemini Massive week for agents. Computer Use in Cursor is the one I'm trying first. Agents driving actual desktop apps opens up so much beyond just code

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@thsottiaux Same plan over here, except it's Sunday morning in Sydney and the laptop's already open 💻 Weekend bug fixing just hits different

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

Every big lab has a proactive agent now. I've been running a few side by side for personal stuff, and the best ones nail one thing: checking with you before they act. Now the long wait until it is available in Australia 🙃

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@AlexFinn Opus 5.5 behind a proactive agent is a scary good combo. Keen to see how it handles the "check with me before acting" part, that's where the trust gets built

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@rauchg Stealing this for uni. Next time a topic doesn't click, I'm getting an agent to build me an interactive explainer instead of rereading the slides 🔥

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@shakhzod1001 You would literally be able to use opus 5.5 on max and use less usage than that. I left codex a couple weeks ago and have not looked back

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@KrishnaBuildsAI I think your agent just hallucinated GPT-6 Fable

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@thsottiaux This is the bit that gets me excited. Agents handling life admin, not just code. Mine already take care of a bunch of my personal tasks and it still feels like magic every time 🤯

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@jenzhuscott Yes. I am testing it along side grokbot and Hark right now. It has come on top with a couple of tasks. I mostly use them for personal life tasks not work or coding. I prefer Hark for the ui and grokbot for the different agents. Instinct is solid though

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

Every afternoon I have a big choice. Work at the desk on Windows - or work on the couch on my Macbook 🤔

[Scott the Aussie🇦🇺 @slapfiction]

@MiaAI_lab Then we all go to deepseek 🤷
