Notable quotes
- "I've spent $3,000 in tokens over the past two weeks trying to test these new models, implementing these new tools in my business." [00:40]

Assessment
This is an independent creator review and hands-on demonstration of newly released models, tools, and consumer agent hardware. The live demonstrations of ChatGPT Voice interacting with Slack and Notion and Claude Opus 5.5 rendering code and design artifacts appear genuine and unedited, though footage from Meta Connect and external developer animations are sourced directly from keynote clips and social posts.
