😺 LIVE NOW: GPT 5.5 (The Spud Model??) Just Dropped. Let's Break It.

Welcome, humans.

GPT 5.5 (Spud) is LIVE… and so are we! Come join by clicking here & ask your questions!

Context: This shipped one week after Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.7. The one-line summary: both labs now sell "worker models" — AI built to finish your work, not chat with you. The benchmark scoreboard just got wild, and the pricing gap widened.

Grant and Corey Noles hit record the same afternoon OpenAI launched GPT-5.5 — a model that hit state-of-the-art 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 and 84.9% wins-or-ties against industry professionals on GDPval (OpenAI's benchmark for real knowledge work across 44 occupations).

In our live podcast episode, Grant and Corey break down what's actually new, where OpenAI beats Anthropic (and vice versa), and whether GPT-5.5 Pro at $30/$180 per million tokens is worth 6x the cost of GPT-5.4.

Here’s our brief TL;DR write-up on the website; check it out here.

One more before you go:

A few weeks ago we went live with the "AI for Total Beginners" 5-Level Starter Stack, a full framework for going from "I've never touched AI" to "AI saves me 10 hours a week." No coding required. It's at 5,700+ views and counting.
