This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 24 November 2025
Summary: I spent most of this stream dissecting the Claude Opus 4.5 rumours—apparently it's hidden in the API and might drop today or tomorrow. The thing is, Anthropic has this annoying habit of making their best models practically unusable with severe rate limits. Opus could be brilliant for coding, but if you hit your daily cap after three prompts, what's the point? Meanwhile, OpenAI's Codex 5.1 Max and Gemini 3 are chipping away at Claude's coding advantage, so it'll be interesting to see if Anthropic can actually make this one accessible.
We also touched on the UK government's AI plans—£14 billion going into infrastructure, which sounds impressive until you realize it's mostly about data centres and compute rather than anything transformative for the public sector. I ranted a bit about HMRC's labyrinthine login system (because I spent my weekend drowning in Gov UK authentication layers), discussed why Grok's Flux-based image generator is surprisingly good, and flagged Google's Movember campaign where they'll donate £11 to charity for every AI-generated moustache photo. Not a bad way to end the stream, really.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
