Summary: Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.5, and honestly, it's brilliant. I've been testing it overnight and this morning, and it's smashing through coding problems that had me stuck for ages. The benchmarks are predictably stellar—37.6 on the ARC AGI test versus Gemini 3's 31.1—but more importantly, the usage limits actually seem reasonable this time. Unlike Opus 4.1 which was basically unusable after a handful of attempts, you can now actually integrate this into your workflow without hitting walls constantly. The interesting bit is watching these labs leapfrog each other week after week. We've had three state-of-the-art models in seven days, and whilst I'm desperate to actually build things with these tools, keeping up with the releases is becoming a full-time job. Anthropic's staying laser-focused on coding and writing rather than chasing video generation or voice modes, which I respect. I also covered Andre Karpathy's thoughts on AI in education—basically, we might need to flip classrooms entirely because we can't trust homework anymore. Plus OpenAI's quietly rolling out shopping research just before Black Friday, which feels like the first move towards inevitable AI advertising.

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.
