Give Spotlight on Mac Superpowers with Raycast
I recently rediscovered Raycast and wanted to try it again after a few years. Raycast has infinitely more features than Spotlight (Apple's search tool).

Well of course #Anthropic had to join the party and just dropped #Claude Opus 4.5.
In early testing, hands down the best coding model I've used to date. It's tool calling far surpasses #ChatGPT and #Gemini.
It's also much better at conserving context and not blowing out the context window.

#Gemini CLI is incredibly good, but I still find #ClaudeCode to be more effective in the terminal and as a VS Code/Cursor extension.
I tested the same prompts on both and Claude outperformed Gemini most times. It's better at tool calling and the Claude skills feature is super useful.

Why is it that every time a new #AI model launches from one of the big players, it’s instantly “The most powerful model ever.“
Gemini 3 by #Google does seem to be quite impressive, but most comments I saw were a few mins after launch…
At least give the impression that you’ve done some testing lol

I’ll absolutely give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.
I think my overall opinion is that the ease of access to creating something that looks “good enough” will have a larger negative impact vs a positive one unfortunately.
That said, there will always be those who use it effectively.

I completely agree. I’m not an artist. I’m actually writing a follow up to add a bit more detail, but you make a good point.
Personally, I think if you are yourself an artist and you decide to use AI as a tool that’s much different, and not really what I was trying to focus on.
