Vendor Lock-in and Platform Strategy

Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 4.7 with better vision, better coding and… better everything. And, along with OpenAI's new Codex, AI is accelerating ever faster.

This week on AI For Humans, Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7, a major step up from Opus 4.6 with better visual reasoning, improved software coding and even makes presentations for cavemen.

Benchmarks put Opus 4.7 between 4.6 and the unreleased Mythos preview, and the new default xhigh reasoning level means more token burn but more reliability on hard problems. The same day, OpenAI updated Codex with better computer use, an integrated browser, and a bunch of new tools.

Then Jensen Huang's epic Dwarkesh Patel interview broke the internet, with Jensen explaining why NVIDIA keeps selling AI chips to China and dropping the instantly iconic "you're not talking to someone who woke up a loser" line.

Plus, Reese Witherspoon is now in on AI, Doug Liman's Killing Satoshi got made for $80M using AI tools (would have cost $300M without them) and we got our first look at AI Val Kilmer.

OPUS 4.7 HAS LANDED. CODEX GOT UPGRADED. IT'S ALL HAPPENING
