Quiet week in terms of model releases with Anthropic's Opus 4.5 being the major one followed by Black Forest Labs Flux.2. Number of AI tools, subscriptions offered Black Friday discounts. I expect there will be a final push of some model updates before the end of the year with a lot of expectations for an updated model from Deepseek

1 | Poster: ndcern Hey all, I wanted to share a vibe coding platform called Nullshot.ai that turns chat into applications. The twist is that it takes it further by also serving as a launchpad that helps to tokenise these products They are currently running at hackathon (https://nullshot.ai/hacks), where you can participate and win $30,000 USD just by jamming, ya'll should give it a try |

1 | Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.5 topping benchmarks like SWE-bench at 80.9% for coding and agentic tasks, ahead of rivals including Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5.1. It excels in computer use, tool handling, and reasoning through ambiguity, with pricing now at $5 per million input tokens—two-thirds cheaper than before. Developers note its ability to manage complex projects independently, from design tweaks to full code sessions, while safety tests confirm strong alignment. |

Black Forest Labs launched FLUX.2 their most advanced AI model yet for image generation and editing. It supports outputs up to 4 megapixels, text-based edits, and variants like pro for speed, flex for control, and the open-weight dev version with 32 billion parameters available on Hugging Face.
The model excels in photorealism, accurate lighting, and style consistency, with quick integrations on platforms like FAL and Replicate.
Early tests show it rivaling top systems in quality and affordability, exciting developers and creators for custom visuals and local runs.
I've been a user of MacWhisper since a couple of years and purchased its lifetime use license when it was around 20 Euros, since then the developer Jordi Bruin has continued to add features, bug-fixes and there is a sizable community on its sub-reddit where he recently announced a Black Friday sale of 25%
we're doing a 25% Black Friday discount from now until next week. Will send out an email to all users tomorrow, but you can already get it now through this link. The price of the app is increasing around new years, so if you've been on the fence this is a great time to lock in the lifetime option

I have been using Handy (free / open source) with parakeet V3 and it's been pretty great, I get better results than with OpenAI's Whisper (probably because of the French accent )
