More importantly, the Sora app is powered by OpenAI’s newly released Sora 2 model, featuring two huge leaps in generative video:
- Synced audio → speech and sound that finally match the video
- Sharper, smoother quality → realism that feels production-grade

Why Sonnet 4.5 matters:
- If your product involves AI agents writing or reasoning about code, Claude just became the SOTA baseline.
- If you’re deploying AI into high-stakes, specialized domains, Sonnet 4.5 is now a serious contender.

Sonnet 4.5 shows ~9 point gains in comprehension + reasoning across finance, law, medicine, and STEM.
- Great news if you’re building in technical verticals.
- This is on a non-standardized benchmark, so external direct comparisons can't be made. Test it and see.

Sonnet 4.5 eclipsed GPT-5 Codex in coding performance:
- 77.2% accuracy on agentic coding tasks (vs. 74.5%)
- 82% accuracy with increased compute
- For Claude Max: this beats Opus 4.1’s coding ability — at 5x lower cost.
- Still 2-3x more expensive vs Gemini 2.5 Pro

If you are one of the people saying "well, I wouldn't scroll AI content for hours", I agree with you. But answer this - what about a generation of children who already use TikTok daily?
Its obvious where this is going. Social media should use algorithms to amplify people, not replace them.

The most prevalent form of social media is 7-second videos served by AI. If companies can generate those directly, they unlock:
1. Hyper-personalized videos to maximize engagement
2. Infinite creator-side scale
3. Perfectly crafted ads

Newsflash - there is a reason that:
- Meta offered $100m signing bonuses, before announcing a partnership with Midjourney in August
- TikTok's owner, Bytedance, keeps releasing SOTA generative video models, with the latest being Seedance 4.0
- Grok app already has a feed of generative posts

(3/4) What’s happening in the industry?
Startups are swapping models weekly.
Big companies are still deciding what to use.
🔒 For large companies, committing to a model now feels like marrying a cloud provider. Choosing one and locking to it is hard when models drop weekly.

(2/4) What does rapid AI improvement mean for devs?
Scoping clearly.
Designing architecture.
Debugging ruthlessly.
More and more, you need to think about workflows, product, and the big picture.
Routine can be abstracted.

4. And Gemini 2.5 Pro is cheaper. Much cheaper.
↳ Gemini Pro 2.5: $1.25 in / $10 out per million tokens
↳ GPT-4o: $10 input / $40 output → 4–10x more expensive
↳ Claude Opus 4: $15 input / $75 output → ~13x more expensive
⚡ Great for startups trying to supercharge developers

2. Gemini Pro 2.5 is built for developers working with AI
↳ not for teams trying to fully replace them
↳ lower performance in agentic coding without human input
↳ higher performance in collaborative code editing
↳ 🚀 ideal for teams using Cursor, Windsurf, etc.
