Introducing Claude 4—here's where it shines and how to use it alongside ChatGPT and Gemini

I really did feel like Christmas came early when I got early access to Claude 4 this week. I will have more on this in a few days as I start to really dig in, but my first impressions are extremely positive.

We are a stage these days where all the models are good, but there are very meaningful differences between power models for power users. My focus here is to give you a lived sense of how a power user is engaging with these models, and where I see Claude 4 bringing extraordinary value right away.

These models take time to live into, so expect more in a few days as I start to push farther on the coding and writing side especially. That said, I already see immediate practical applications that are game-changers, and I lay those out here!
