  • I Built My Own Link-in-Bio Page With AI in Five Minutes
    2026/09/28

    Do you need another service just to put your links in one place? In this episode of Stack Snacks, I use Zo Computer to build a link-in-bio page for my YouTube channel, website, podcast, TikTok, and Threads. One prompt gave me a live page. I caught a wrong Threads link while testing it and fixed it with one more sentence.

    In this episode:

    What I asked Zo to build and why I made the page mobile friendly

    How I checked every button before sharing it

    When a simple page you control may be enough, and when you might want the extras from a dedicated service

    Try it yourself: Explore Zo Computer. Add your own links, then test each one before publishing.

    The Zo link is an affiliate link. If you sign up through it, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

    What small tool should I try building with AI next? Reply to the Stack Snacks newsletter or leave a comment on YouTube.

  • Opus 4.7 Just Landed — Here's What Actually Changed
    2026/04/20

    Anthropic quietly shipped Claude Opus 4.7 last week, and for the first time it feels like a coding model you can actually hand real work off to — not babysit. We break down what's new, what's hype, and what's worth changing in your workflow today.

    In this episode

    00:00 — Cold open: why 4.7 is different from a routine bump

    00:30 — The three coding upgrades that matter: self-verification, longer autonomous runs, and better tool use

    01:15 — SWE-bench results and the "low-effort 4.7 ≈ high-effort 4.6" claim

    01:45 — Four more upgrades worth knowing

    3× vision resolution

    Instruction following (so good Anthropic is warning people about it)

    Better cross-session memory

    Higher-quality creative writing

    02:45 — Pricing stays flat ($5 / $25 per million) — but mind the new tokenizer

    03:05 — What else launched: Project Glass safety framework + Claude Code Max auto mode

    03:25 — The bigger picture: unsupervised coding, capability shaping, and the model treadmill

    03:55 — Who should actually switch today

    Key takeaways

    Hand-off, don't hand-hold. 4.7 is pitched as the first Claude you can leave running on multi-step coding tasks and trust the output.

    Self-verification is the quiet killer feature. The model checks its own work before reporting back — fewer "looks done, actually broken" moments.

    Re-tune your prompts if migrating. Instruction following got so sharp that prompts tuned for 4.6 can misfire. Loosen overly literal language.

    Same price, different tokens. Dollar cost is unchanged, but the new tokenizer can use 1.0–1.35× more tokens for the same text. Watch your bills.

    Vision got real. 3× resolution makes screenshot-driven agents and UI workflows meaningfully better.

    Project Glass > disclaimers. Anthropic is shaping capabilities at the model level instead of bolting on warnings. Worth watching if you care about AI safety direction.

    Should you switch?

    Daily Claude coder: Yes. Upgrade and re-tune prompts.

    Building agents: Yes — vision + memory + longer autonomy are all wins.

    Casual user: No rush. 4.6 is still excellent.

    Watching safety: Read the Project Glass notes.

  • Why ChatGPT 4.1’s Web App Debut Matters
    2025/05/20

    OpenAI's recent release of ChatGPT 4.1 to its web app marks an exciting development in AI accessibility. Previously, this version was exclusive to API users, making its transition to the web app significant. The rollout not only broadens access but highlights 4.1's capabilities, particularly in code generation and comprehension. Testing reveals clear improvements in handling code-related tasks, signaling enhanced performance and potential for developers and tech enthusiasts.

    The introduction of 4.1 to the web app also hints at a future where more specialized AI models might emerge. These niche models could cater to specific domains, providing tailored support and solutions. As the ChatGPT web app becomes integral to many users' workflows, keeping it updated with new releases seems crucial. The investment of users, whether through subscription fees or time, necessitates the inclusion of the latest updates to maintain its value and utility.

    For those who have access to ChatGPT 4.1 currently, it's worth exploring its capabilities, especially if you're involved in coding projects. The enhancements are significant and could offer impressive results. As OpenAI continues to refine and expand upon its models, the experience for end-users is likely to improve, making tools like ChatGPT indispensable in the digital toolkit.
