And people are realizing maybe we don't even need the SaaS products at all.

maybe uh anthropic and claude and what they're doing and some of these tools that they're replacing because they came up with a bunch of different tools are crashing the markets basically because people are going to stop paying for some of these tools so with opus 4.5 claude now is directly inside of powerpoint as a side panel previously users could ask claude to generate a presentation but then you still go export it you had to edit and it was kind of a separate file which was a pain

Now your presentations are going to be built and you can actually go to find them and refine them directly inside of PowerPoint with Claude's assistance.

So that's a cool feature.

In addition, I mean, I have the Claude, I have the Claude Google Chrome extension, which, you know, is a side panel.

And if I was on PowerPoint, I could tell it to go and make edits and it could just like take over my screen and do that.

So that's also kind of a cool feature.

but according to anthropic all of these changes are trying to basically show how opus has evolved beyond just kind of its original niche which was developers what started as a model which was basically known for like software development has now grown into something that can do a lot more it can support a lot more people and doing a lot more different professional tasks uh here's what they recently said they said we noticed a lot of people who are not professional software developers using cloud code primarily because it was a really amazing engine to do tasks

They said that Anthropic is now seeing adoption, not just from engineers, but from a lot of product managers, a lot of financial analysts, a lot of professionals in a lot of different industries.

Now, the competition is definitely heating up.

Anthropic isn't the only one going after the development area.

OpenAI is trying to really pitch heavily for it.

I've recently been testing out Codex, which is a tool that OpenAI has.

They've kind of had this Codex code model for a while, but they recently came out with a Mac app that I downloaded and have been playing around with.

They're trying to compete with Claude Code.

And what's interesting is in this brand new release that Anthropic did, apparently OpenAI and Anthropic were scheduled to release their new coding models at the exact same time.

Anthropic bumped it up by 15 minutes to beat OpenAI to the punch.

And so after, you know, Anthropic did this whole release, 15 minutes later, GPT 5.3 Codex was launched.

So OpenAI says that this new model is going to turn Codex from a tool that can write and review code into one that can handle almost anything developers do on a computer, including professionals as well.

They said that after they tested against a bunch of different internal benchmarks, they say, I mean, this is their claim, that GPT-5.3 codecs can build, quote, highly functional, complex games and applications from scratch over the course of days.
