Opus leads the early Artificial Analysis benchmarks. Sol and Luna make everyday AI work much cheaper. Which improvement will you actually notice in your business?I walk through the published results, the six-out-of-ten benchmark lead, professional work scores and the demos people are sharing. Then we look at API prices, cost per task and why maximum reasoning effort can burn through your budget without improving the answer you need.I also show how I compare models using a repeatable task from my own work, what Simon Willison's pelican test reveals, and where these models are available at launch. These are first impressions from published tests, other people's examples and my own early experience. Use a task you know well before moving your whole workflow.The 50% price reduction discussed here is API pricing versus the previous Sol and Luna generations. Subscription prices and usage allowances are separate.*RESOURCES*Build one AI brain across your tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqkglPK9SUEMy Instinct walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9UD7Vs3APE*CHAPTERS*00:00 Claude vs GPT: what changed02:48 Opus 5.5 benchmarks04:55 What the demos actually show08:39 GPT-6 Sol and Luna10:08 The API price gap13:46 Test models on your own work15:51 Effort levels and the pelican test17:27 Update your prompts18:48 Where to get the new models20:42 Which model should you use?*KEY POINTS*- Opus 5.5 leads the early Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.- Sol and Luna cut API prices by 50% versus their previous generations.- Compare completed-task cost as well as token prices.- Try several effort levels on a repeatable task from your work.- Check model access and refresh old prompts before switching.*SOURCES AND TOOLS MENTIONED*Anthropic announcement: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-opus-5-5OpenAI announcement: https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-6-sol-and-luna/Artificial Analysis, Opus results: https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2102438210798514391Artificial Analysis, Sol and Luna: https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2102462962758033624Matthew Berman's Unreal demo: https://x.com/MatthewBerman/status/2102483668468195539Ethan Mollick's shader demo: https://x.com/emollick/status/2102441628661080384AI/ML API visual comparison: https://x.com/aimlapi/status/2102515672710533417Simon Willison's tests: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/22/opus-and-sol-and-luna/Lance Martin's prompt audit: https://x.com/RLanceMartin/status/2102575471502528989Model availability: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/models#recommended-models*LISTEN TO AI WITH KYLE*Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6pnwfIJvxfC8jlX891XBiEApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-with-kyle-daily-ai-news-and-updates/id1825779580*CONNECT WITH KYLE*Website: https://aiwithkyle.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamkylebalmerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkylebalmerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylebalmer/#Claude #ChatGPT #AI

Get your Instinct invite: https://aiwithkyle.com/instinctInstinct is an AI assistant you can message through WhatsApp or iMessage, and it’s free right now. I’ve been using it to work through the jobs I keep putting off: sorting priorities, organising projects, bookkeeping and the small bits of admin that pile up. Here’s what I like about it, how it responds, and where I’d start if you’ve never used an AI assistant before.I also walk through other people’s examples, including getting footage from the US Open, negotiating a lower internet bill and finding an apartment. Those are their results, alongside my own experience. Then I look at Instinct Files and the account access this kind of assistant can use. You can start with one ordinary job and limited access; forwarding a single email is an option before connecting your whole inbox. I’m not sponsored by or affiliated with Instinct. Access is invite-only, and its current free pricing may change.*RESOURCES*Instinct: https://instinct.com/Instinct privacy policy: https://instinct.com/privacy-policy*CHAPTERS*00:00 Instinct, an AI assistant in WhatsApp02:20 Get an invite03:32 How Instinct works06:33 An AI that knows when to stop talking07:43 Projects, priorities and bookkeeping11:17 What other people use it for16:20 Instinct Files17:48 Accounts, data and privacy20:55 Start with less access22:07 Try one job*KEY POINTS*- Message Instinct through WhatsApp or iMessage.- Give it one real job you’ve been putting off.- Use projects and daily briefs to keep track of your priorities.- Check what access you’re granting before connecting accounts.- Start small and check the result.*SOURCES AND TOOLS MENTIONED*Olivia Levine — getting US Open footage: https://x.com/oliviaalevine/status/2095705075633000815Eli Weiss — lowering a FiOS bill: https://x.com/eliweisss/status/2099833405181436387Tamara Winter — apartment search: https://x.com/tamarawinter/status/2099859471237361962Instinct Files demo: https://x.com/noahrshinn/status/2101080443667767385Forwarding an email without full inbox access: https://x.com/noahrshinn/status/2097443135177798060*LISTEN TO AI WITH KYLE*Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6pnwfIJvxfC8jlX891XBiEApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-with-kyle-daily-ai-news-and-updates/id1825779580*CONNECT WITH KYLE*Website: https://aiwithkyle.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamkylebalmerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkylebalmerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylebalmer/#InstinctAI #AIAssistant #PracticalAI

Want to build with AI but have no idea where to start? https://aiwithkyle.com/join-freedom-osJoin my private WhatsApp group: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-with-kyle-group-chatMedia/Sponsorship Inquiries: https://aiwithkyle.com/media-kitGet my daily AI newsletter: https://aiwithkyle.com/Donald Trump called Jensen Huang during the All-In Summit and called fears about AI a “hoax”. Days earlier, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei had proposed slowing the development of the most powerful AI systems. China has now responded too, and a global agreement looks a long way off.I walk through the original call, China’s answer, Dario’s proposal, Mark Zuckerberg’s response and the safety measures OpenAI is putting forward. Dario’s own essay says full global pacing is unlikely any time soon. So what happens when the labs raise the alarm, politicians refuse to slow down, and development carries on?My suspicion is that this outcome suits the labs rather well. That’s my interpretation of their incentives; it doesn’t establish that anyone coordinated it. I also look at the work that could still make a difference: independent evaluators, safety cases and reports of models behaving in unexpected ways. OpenAI’s published examples give us something concrete to examine. The decisions these companies make next will tell us more than their promises.*RESOURCES*My earlier video on the AI slowdown proposal:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPJsX12AdLI*CHAPTERS*00:00 Trump responds to the AI warnings00:24 Trump’s call to Jensen Huang02:09 What Dario proposed03:49 China responds06:50 Dario’s warning about a global deal09:19 Zuckerberg’s response14:34 Jensen and Nvidia’s incentives16:54 What could actually change?18:31 OpenAI’s misalignment reports20:39 Who verifies and enforces the promises?22:22 More on the AI pacing proposal*KEY POINTS*• Trump wants the US to win the AI race.• China rejects the framing behind the proposed slowdown.• Dario already described full global pacing as unlikely soon.• Meta, Nvidia and the frontier labs have different commercial incentives.• Independent evaluation and incident reporting can proceed while talks continue.• Watch the labs’ decisions as well as their public statements.*SOURCES AND TOOLS MENTIONED*Trump and Jensen’s original All-In call:https://x.com/theallinpod/status/2099621431621607829Dario Amodei — We Must Pace the Frontier:https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontierChina’s Foreign Ministry response:https://cy.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/fyrth/202609/t20260914_12021997.htmMark Zuckerberg’s response:https://x.com/finkd/status/2099997096896274533Sam Altman on safety cases:https://x.com/sama/status/2099348812305473766OpenAI’s model misalignment reporting framework:https://openai.com/index/model-misalignment-reporting-framework/*LISTEN TO AI WITH KYLE*Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6pnwfIJvxfC8jlX891XBiEApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-with-kyle-daily-ai-news-and-updates/id1825779580*CONNECT WITH KYLE*Website: https://aiwithkyle.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamkylebalmerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkylebalmerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylebalmer/

Get my daily AI newsletter: https://aiwithkyle.com/Anthropic wants to slow AI development down, and Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis are backing the direction of Dario Amodei's proposal. These are usually fierce rivals. Now they're calling for a slower pace, outside evaluators and shared safety standards. I'm sceptical about what the biggest AI companies stand to gain.I go through Amodei's essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier", and the full posts from the people supporting and challenging it. David Sacks tells the labs to slow down themselves. Cohere's Aidan Gomez calls out a possible cartel. Donald Trump wants America to stay ahead of China.We also look at recursive self-improvement, OpenAI's growing use of coding agents, METR's role as an evaluator, and the problem of verifying an international agreement. AI safety deserves serious attention. So do the costs of delaying useful tools and making it harder for smaller companies to compete.Recorded 14 September 2026.*RESOURCES*Previous video on Jacob Coxon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gcpXBLmwPESelf-improving AI explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os-s26O_W08*CHAPTERS*00:00 AI rivals suddenly agree01:32 Dario, Sam, Musk and Demis02:52 The Jacob Coxon connection04:12 What does AI pacing mean?05:21 Embedded evaluators07:05 Pacing within democracies08:36 Can a global slowdown work?09:54 Recursive self-improvement11:45 David Sacks: then slow down16:19 Aidan Gomez and the cartel accusation18:40 Who checks the checkers?

Now what? The 3D worlds, video games and ridiculous renders are very cool. But unless you're trying to make GTA 6, what do you actually do with it? I've put together four practical briefs for your health and fitness, business, money and life plan. These are projects you can give ChatGPT Astra using your own files, calendar and goals.I start with a voice conversation to work out what you actually want to tackle. Then I show you how to brief Astra like a capable outside team, with enough context, checkpoints and a clear definition of done. The examples cover a personalised fitness app, a plan to grow owner profit without adding hours, a household finance model and three possible futures for your life. I also cover Ethan Mollick's five-day personal wiki project and the permissions I'd set before letting AI agents get to work. Pick one big job, gather the files and get it moving. Check the outputs and keep consequential decisions under your control. Get qualified advice for medical or financial decisions.—— Time Stamps ——0:00 You've Got Astra.
