1) Things Are Getting Better

2) A New Best AI Every Month

Last week, I called Grok 3 the best LLM yet. Then Anthropic dropped Claude 3.7 as expected, and benchmarks show it beats Grok 3 in spots, especially coding, though not everywhere. And to my surprise, it feels like the vibe of Claude isn’t as good as it was before. I now prefer the tone of Grok.

Now, based on leaked screenshots, it sounds like OpenAI’s GPT 4.5, codenamed Orion, hits tomorrow. I’m convinced from here on out there’s going to be a new “best AI’ every month.

Here’s my take on it:

We’ll dive into this madness on The Next Wave podcast soon, breaking down each model’s edge with our friend Matthew Berman. You’ve been asking for that, and it’s on the way.

Right now, Grok 3 is my pick for daily chats, Claude 3.7 crushes coding, and ChatGPT leads on deep research. That could flip tomorrow with GPT 4.5.

My take? Don’t stress over which model to use. Use the one you like the most or that works best for a specific use case you have.

Looking forward, LLMs will probably get more specialized. Claude’s pushing hard on coding but slipping on writing. Grok, with Twitter data and killer search, has taken over my Perplexity use. That shift to distinct roles is only growing stronger over time.

4) Alexa+ Powered By Claude

It’s been two years since the AI boom started, and I’ve been thinking lately about how it’s crazy that Alexa hasn’t evolved. When it came out, a lot of people in Silicon Valley assumed it was going to be the first example of AI in your house and that it would just keep getting better. But it never did.

Compared to the modern LLMs, it feels stuck. But today, Amazon dropped exciting news. They’re teaming up with Anthropic to launch Alexa+ in the coming weeks, powered by Claude.

This could finally give us a truly smart in-home device you can talk to, mixing Claude’s conversational skills with Amazon’s voice tech. I’m super excited.

The acceleration continues.

5) Most Interesting Things This Week

New LLM based on Diffusion called Inception Labs. Faster than any other LLM, but definitely in the experimental phase. Not clear if it’ll be as reliable as how current LLMs are built.

It’s now possible to create anime quality videos with Luma AI’s Ray 2 Img-to-Vid model. Going to be using this myself to create some killer game cutscenes.

Snake game powered by Claude where the snake starts to have a mental breakdown.
