Claude Opus 5.5 Blew Me Away. Best AI Model of 2026?
10:41

Aaron MakelkyGUEST
And they don't tell you which one it runs on, but it's got to be because even fast models, like what Ryan and I would say is fast, this blows out of the water.

Aaron MakelkyGUEST
And you can tell when they stream the output to you, they're purposely slowing it down so it doesn't overwhelm you because it's way faster than you can read it.

Aaron MakelkyGUEST
yeah so this is what i'll just show you first i get asked a lot let's say i put 10 on open router i want to try glm 5.3 flash i heard it's really good for the money where do i use it at like how do i go open an app because i can't open clod code and use that or the codex app You can in the CLI if you fork it.

Aaron MakelkyGUEST
But most people say, what do I do with it? Where do I go? I like Hermes for this.

Ryan DoserHOST
That's another quick and easy way to do that, where you're plugging and playing the different open source versus closed source.

Ryan DoserHOST
What is your take on all this hype between Astra versus, you know, Fable? I think ChatGPT Pro is the best bang for your buck right now at $100 a month personally.

Aaron MakelkyGUEST
So I'm using their models through OpenRouter and a couple other places like Cursor.

Aaron MakelkyGUEST
So I've used them, but it's because I don't see any value in anything clawed except Fable usage.

You know, the list goes on and on and on, but I'm going to stop sharing my screen here and I'm going to give you the floor now, Aaron, to kind of talk about any real world use cases that you're using Fable 5.1 or maybe Astro or some other open AI models for.

And even though you can generate an AI avatar of like a ship captain, I've seen that or upload your own.

Ryan DoserHOST
What are some real-world marketing or content workflows that you have running through here, maybe?
