New Grok 4.5 Finally Hits Claude Hard

From the creator

Grok 4.5 just entered the frontier AI race, and it is being positioned as a faster, cheaper Claude rival. SpaceXAI says the new model is built for coding, research, writing, office work, and real knowledge tasks, while offering much better token efficiency than other leading models. At the same time, China’s MiniMax is preparing a massive 2.7 trillion parameter open-weight model, ByteDance just released Seedream 5.0 Pro for serious image generation, Meta is letting people remix public Instagram posts with AI by default, and OpenAI just launched GPT-Live to make ChatGPT voice feel much more natural. 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: collabs@nouralabs.com ✉️ General Inquiries: airevolutionofficial@gmail.com 📌 What You’ll See: 0:00 — Intro 0:31 — Grok 4.5 is being positioned as a faster and cheaper Claude rival SOURCE: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/08/spacexai-releases-grok-4-5-which-elon-describes-as-an-opus-class-model/ 3:26 — MiniMax is preparing a 2.7 trillion parameter open-weight AI model SOURCE: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/chinas-minimax-plans-launch-giant-27-trillion-parameter-model-2026-07-08/ 6:25 — ByteDance released Seedream 5.0 Pro for serious image generation SOURCE: https://eu.36kr.com/en/p/3887236673485574 11:26 — Meta is letting public Instagram posts be reused and remixed with AI SOURCE: https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-new-muse-image-ai-model-default-instagram-sharing-rules-2026-7 12:34 — OpenAI launched GPT-Live to make ChatGPT voice feel more natural SOURCE: https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-live/ 🚨 Why It Matters This is bigger than one new AI model. Grok, Claude, OpenAI, MiniMax, ByteDance, Meta, and ChatGPT are now pushing AI into a new phase where models are becoming cheaper, faster, more open, more visual, and much closer to real assistants people can use every day. #ai #grok #ainews

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
