Lenny’s AI Builders

Opus 5.5 leads the Artificial Analysis chart. GPT-6 Sol has a lower published API list price. The half-price comparison refers to standard short-context API input and output list rates, not subscriptions or cost per finished task. But which one should you use for your own work? i look at the launches, the chart, cost per task, and one Sol miss in my own Notion planning. Then i show how to set up a five-task test for the jobs you actually do. i have not run Opus 5.5 or scored BuilderBench yet, so this episode does not pick a real-work winner. try this prompt: help me build a small benchmark for the work I actually do. Ask for my five recurring tasks. Turn each into one repeatable brief with a useful finished output, checks I can perform, and the time and cost to record. Mark what is still untested.

less scrolling. more “oh shit, i could use that”

i’m Lennox. five days a week, i dig through AI Twitter, pick the updates worth your time, and bring you one thing i’ve tested myself. what worked, what broke, and what you can try with it.

for people making products, content and useful systems with AI. you don’t need to write code to build something worth using.

each episode is under 15 minutes. grab the field notes for the prompts, steps and bits to watch out for.
