About this episode

Send us Fan MailLast week we were asking whether you should move from Claude to ChatGPT. This week Anthropic hit back with Opus 5.5, and Gael ran it for two and a half hours of intensive use on the $20 plan while using just 8% of his weekly limit. But the lead is going to flip again. So instead of telling you to switch, we talk about how to run your business when the best AI model changes every few weeks. In this episode we break down: → Why Opus 5.5 beats Anthropic's own top model on most benchmarks → How Claude went from the worst value plan to arguably the best → Why OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol is cheaper but not any smarter → How to run Claude and ChatGPT from the same folder with one agents.md → ChatGPT's new voice mode, now connected to your email, calendar and Stripe The best model will keep changing. Your setup doesn't have to. 🔗 AI Accelerator: https://www.authorityhacker.com/ai-accelerator 💻 Learn Claude Code: https://www.authorityhacker.com/resources/learn-claude-code/
