Summary: I've been testing ChatGPT Images 2.0 against Google's Nano Banana (Gemini's image model) across five real business use cases: YouTube thumbnails, Facebook ads, explainer comic strips, event posters, and LinkedIn carousels. This isn't art generation or anything photorealistic. It's about what actually saves time and produces usable assets when you're running a business and need things to look good without hiring a designer every five minutes.

The short version: ChatGPT won all five tests, which I genuinely wasn't expecting. What set it apart wasn't just image quality — it was consistency across sequential prompts, the ability to generate a functional QR code and embed it into a poster, and LinkedIn carousel slides that actually tell a story rather than vague abstract imagery. Imagen is still cheaper and faster via the API, so I'm not writing it off. But if you've been sleeping on ChatGPT's image generator, this is the video that'll change that.

Summary: Yesterday Anthropic quietly ran an AB test that removed Claude Code from the $20 Pro plan, apparently hoping nobody would notice. They noticed. What started as a pricing page edit turned into a useful window into where AI costs are actually heading, so I put together a presentation on what's going on: why inference is now the bottleneck, how Jevons Paradox means cheaper tokens still lead to higher bills, and why the all-you-can-eat subscription model is living on borrowed time.

The practical bit covers what you can actually do about it right now: Codex as a serious alternative (genuinely good, and embarrassingly generous with limits), local models via LM Studio if you're happy spending on hardware, and a set of prompting habits that will meaningfully reduce your token consumption without slowing your output. If you're building anything with agentic tools, this is the context you need before prices stop being theoretical.

Summary: Claude Design just dropped, and yes, people are already calling it the Figma killer. In this video I walk you through what the tool actually does, how to use it to design websites and app mockups from scratch or from an existing project, and why the "Figma is dead" crowd almost certainly don't use Figma. I cover the full workflow: connecting a GitHub repo, working with the built-in design system, adding inline comments, and iterating on designs the same way you would with a human designer.

The honest bit: there are serious limitations. The usage limits are so aggressive I burned through my weekly allowance on one prompt while on the $200 plan, and every single output defaults to the same Anthropic oyster-cream colour palette that is going to become the new purple-gradient AI tell. I show you exactly how to fight that, including a skill pack that gives Claude Design nine alternative style directions so your work doesn't look like it was built by the same tool as everyone else's. If you're an entrepreneur who wants to get something decent out the door fast, this is worth your time. If you're a working designer, come back in a few weeks.
