Ep. 011 - GPT 5.5 vs Claude 4.7: OpenAI's Comeback From the Brink (Tokenomics) | Jordan Nanos, Dylan Patel, Doug O'Laughlin, Max Kan

Deskripsi

OpenAI was in serious trouble at the beginning of this year. Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 release had triggered a wave of developers to start using Claude Code, pushing Anthropic's revenue past OpenAI's on a like-for-like basis by April. OpenAI's GPT 5.4 response was such an embarrassment they didn't even compare it to Claude in their model release card. Then came GPT 5.5 - finally back on the frontier, but is it enough to reclaim the crown?Jordan Nanos (@JordanNanos), Dylan Patel (@Dylan522p), Doug O'Laughlin (@FabricatedKnowledge), and Max Kan (@maxkan_) break down the latest AI model wars, from Claude 4.7's coding dominance to DeepSeek's long-delayed v4 release and what it reveals about China's AI capabilities. They analyze token efficiency, benchmark gaming, and why fast mode might be fake news.
