Kimi K3 Just Knocked Claude to Third Place — Chinese AI Is Here Now
2d ago00:15:12Tap to summarizeChinese AI isn't a future threat — it's already in the top three. Get the full breakdown (Free Guide): https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/chinese-ai Get AI-Ready with Kyle's 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Kimi K3 dropped this week and knocked Claude Opus to third place in the AI rankings. It's not the best model in the world overall, but it's within striking distance of Fable and GPT - and it costs about a third of what Claude charges on the API ($3 in / $15 out versus $10 / $50) - and China's cheaper models like GLM, DeepSeek and MiniMax run at up to 20x less. It's a deliberate strategy. Xi Jinping got on stage the same week and committed China to open-source AI. Six hundred million people in China already use AI - about half the country - adoption is growing at 142% year on year, and the gap between Chinese and American frontier models has closed from six-to-nine months to a month or two. The practical shift here is about where you spend attention and money. If you're building anything token-heavy, automations, coding agents, content pipelines etc., Chinese models deserve a serious look right now. At the same time, you need to understand the difference between cloud and local deployment, because "open source" does not mean "free on your laptop". This video gives you the full map: who's building what in China, why the pricing is a genuine existential threat to OpenAI and Anthropic's trillion-dollar valuations, and what you should actually do with any of this today. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Hook: Claude Just Fell to Third Place 0:29 Kimi K3 Explained: What the New Rankings Actually Look Like 1:43 The Benchmark That's Going Viral — and Why to Ignore It 3:14 20x Cheaper Than Claude: The Price Weapon China Is Using 4:09 Chinese AI Map 101: Moonshot, DeepSeek, ZAI, Qwen, ByteDance 5:04 Why Cheap AI Is Existential for OpenAI and Anthropic 6:14 Trillion-Dollar IPOs vs. a Model That Costs a Dollar Per Task 6:59 Xi Jinping's Open Source Pledge: What It Actually Means 7:39 Open Source Does Not Mean Free on Your Laptop 8:34 The Real Enterprise Threat: Local Fine-Tuned Models for Almost Nothing 9:57 Cloud vs Local: The Chinese Privacy Paradox Nobody Talks About 11:22 600M Users and a Beijing Bookshop: China's AI Reality 12:46 What to Do Now: Kimi Subscription, Local LLMs, Front-End Testing 14:16 Where to Go Next —— Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

4d ago00:15:18Tap to summarizeGet AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Premium AI is about to get more expensive. Build one small, useful asset while it's still cheap. Grab the fix kit (Free Guide): https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/build-while-it-lasts Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Right now everyone is using AI like it's about to vanish, and honestly, it might. Anthropic just extended Fable 5 again, and within the hour OpenAI reset every Codex limit in response. In this video I break down why the whole industry is behaving like this, why the intelligence you're paying twenty, a hundred, two hundred dollars a month for is heavily subsidised, and what happens the moment that subsidy ends. I share what one billion tokens actually cost me in a single day once you take it off the subscription and put it through the API. It is not a small number. That subsidy is the whole story here, and it will not last. I walk through the idea of the permanent underclass, the K shaped economy, and why I think you have roughly six months to build something real before this gets expensive again. I show you exactly where to start if you have never built anything before, including how I personally use Fable as the planner and pass the actual work to cheaper models. No coding required. You do not need to be technical. You just need to start before the window closes. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 OpenAI vs Anthropic: Fable 5 Extended Again 1:53 Why Anthropic Can't Afford to Pull Fable 5 3:32 The $50,000-a-Day Cost of Losing Subscription Access 4:59 The Fable Usage Frenzy & Rob's $800/Month Strategy 7:15 Rented Intelligence & the Permanent Underclass 8:30 The K-Shaped Economy Explained 10:58 How to Build Your First AI Project (No Coding Needed) 11:54 Free AI Business Resources & Monetization 12:54 Get Paid to Teach AI to Businesses 14:29 Final Thoughts: Build Before It's Too Late — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

What it actually is, how ChatGPT Work compares to Codex and Chat, and which one you should actually use depending on what you do. There is plenty of confusion out there right now, three modes, a moving model picker, and power users asking what the point is. I cut through all of it and explain why this update is aimed squarely at the billion people who use ChatGPT every day, even on the free plan. The bigger shift is this: stop chatting with ChatGPT and start giving it jobs. Instead of asking questions and getting answers, you hand it a task, it spins up sub-agents, does the research, checks its own work, and delivers a finished result. The presentation in this video was built by ChatGPT Work itself in about twelve minutes, so you can see exactly what it produces. I also show you where to find the new work mode on web, mobile and desktop, and what to use it for in your daily work. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 ChatGPT Work: OpenAI's Biggest Release This Week 0:38 What Is ChatGPT Work?

This week alone we have GPT 5.6, Grok 4.5, a new Gemini and Fable hanging on for a few more days. My answer is to stop switching between models altogether. The model is not the system. In this beginner friendly walkthrough I show you how to get ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini working together instead of forcing yourself to pick a favourite and second-guessing it a fortnight later. The idea is simpler than it sounds. One smart model does the planning and the reviewing, a cheaper model does the grunt work, and they share a single folder plus a few plain text instruction files so every model reads from the same page. I walk through my exact setup, from voice-briefing the planner to pushing the finished work, and why it holds up whether you are shipping code or drafting a book. Once ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are working together like this, the next release stops being a threat and becomes a free upgrade. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Fable Deadline & a Messy Week of AI Model News 0:53 Model Paralysis: Should You Switch AI Models? 2:26 The Model Is Not the System: Model-Agnostic Workflows 3:19 Planner vs Worker: The Smart Model / Dumb Model Split 4:05 The Real Cost of AI: $15,000 in One Day 5:16 Use Intelligence Where It Matters (Not Just for Coders) 6:27 GitHub Repo Setup: Your Central Source of Truth 8:14 README, Agents & Claude MD Files Explained 9:22 Let Your Smart Model Set Up the Whole Project 10:07 Connecting Claude Code & Codex with Plug-ins 11:33 Direct Connection: MCP & CLI Between AI Models 12:48 My Personal AI Workflow: Fable Plans, Codex Builds 15:02 Don't Panic: Use All the AI Models Together 16:38 Free Webinar: Teach AI to Businesses — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

2w ago00:18:07Tap to summarizeGet AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Claude Fable 5 is being taken off the subscription tomorrow and dumped behind API pricing that would cost me thousands a day to run properly. Half my community is in mourning. I get it, because for one week Fable 5 tore through problems that had been sitting on my desk for months and did work I would once have paid three people to do. But grieving Fable 5 is fixating on the wrong thing. The real story is that what feels like science fiction this week becomes ordinary within a year, the models keep getting cheaper and faster, and that is brilliant news if you build things and rather less brilliant if you have a nine to five. So in this one I get on with the useful part: what you actually do next. I cover why the model going away barely matters, what is coming after it, and how to run capable AI on your own machine, free and genuinely private, with nothing sitting on someone else's server. LM Studio, Ollama, Hugging Face, what the parameter counts really mean, the hardware you need before the "run Claude for free" crowd walks you off a cliff, and the small local setup I lean on every single day. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Fable Is Going Behind a Paywall 1:12 Fable's API Pricing: $10 In, $50 Out 2:02 One Week With Fable: Debt Payoff, Book Tools & 15 Builds 3:32 We've Seen This Movie Before: The Model Hype Cycle 4:01 GPT-5.6 Rumors: Sol, Luna & Terra Coming This Week? 5:13 AI Costs Are Collapsing Up to 900x 6:44 The Release Cycle: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google & Open Models 7:54 The Apollo Analogy: 5MB of RAM Landed on the Moon 8:51 The Big Takeaway: Your Job Is Not Safe 11:42 What to Do: Build Something You Control 13:25 Where to Start: Free Courses & Finding Demand 14:55 AI Workshops: The $1K–$3K Per Hour Opportunity 16:24 Wrap-Up: Fable Leaves, Intelligence Doesn't — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

Transcribe →204: What do you ask the smartest AI in the world? (but you only get one shot)
2w ago00:13:55Tap to summarizeGet AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Fable 5 is back on the normal Claude subscription, but only for a few days, and then it vanishes behind a genuinely eye-watering price. Which puts you in an odd spot: the smartest AI in the world is sitting in your app, and you have roughly one prompt a day to use it. So the question stops being what it can do, and becomes what on earth you should ask it. This video is my answer, built around one idea: treat it less like a chatbot and more like the Oracle of Delphi. I walk through the method I have been using all week. Leave the mundane jobs to the cheaper models. Use one of those cheaper models to help you draft the question first, then hand the finished thing to Fable 5 in a single fully specced shot, with a safety net so it never has to come back and ask. And the questions worth your one shot are the uncomfortable ones. Where am I wasting my time. What am I avoiding. What would embarrass me if someone sharp studied my work for an hour. Big model, big questions. It turns out the hard part was never the AI. —— Time Stamps —— 00:00 Fable Is Back: You Have Until July 7th 01:33 Fable Will Be the New Normal 02:07 Two Mistakes People Are Making With Fable 03:23 The Right Mindset: Big Model, Big Problems 04:49 Use a Dumber AI to Write Your Fable Prompts 06:34 Usage Limits & the One-Prompt Strategy 07:45 How I Use Fable: Brutal Self-Challenge Questions 09:26 The Real Skill: Asking Better Questions 10:45 Time-Sensitive: Why $20 Is Worth It Right Now 12:05 Your Homework This Weekend 13:04 Resources & Wrap-Up — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/
