📸 ChatGPT Agent vs Grok 4: Who’s Winning the AI Assistant Race?
This week’s AI breakthroughs include an open-source Claude-level coder from Alibaba, hands-on insights with ChatGPT Agent and Grok 4, emotional voice cloning from Hume, real-time AI video filters via Mirage, and the latest quiet upgrades shaping how we build and automate.

My fellow AI explorers
From China’s open-source Claude-level coding model to live-streamed anime transformations and AI agents that actually help (not just hype), this is the kind of week that makes you remember why we’re all here: to test, build, and explore what’s next.
In today’s edition:

ChatGPT Agent + Grok 4
One Is Getting Better. The Other? Not So Much.
We finally have enough hands-on time with ChatGPT Agent and Grok 4 to make a proper call. Spoiler: Only one is shaping up to be a serious daily tool.
Grok 4
Yes, it sometimes outperforms GPT-4 and Claude in isolated prompts
But its real-world utility lags behind—UX friction and lack of integrations are major blockers
Most advanced users are switching back to GPT + Claude for actual work
ChatGPT Agent
Now rolled out to all Plus users (EU included)
Research → Analyze → Format workflows (Excel, PowerPoint) work incredibly well
Custom prompts can generate YouTube strategy docs, data-backed video ideas, and more
Is it perfect? Not yet. It's still too slow and limited for real autonomy. But for structured tasks like generating content strategies or research spreadsheets, it’s unmatched.
🧠Prediction: Agent will eat basic assistant jobs. It’s already a silent killer for junior analyst-type tasks.
Qwen3-Coder
Alibaba Just Dropped an Open Coding Beast
There’s a new heavyweight in the AI dev space—and it’s not from the West.
Alibaba just released Qwen3-Coder, an open-source coding model that rivals Claude Opus in performance, especially for building apps from scratch.
Open-weight and hosted on chat.qwen.ai (no login needed)
Comes with its own CLI agent—think Claude Code, but open and modifiable
Proactively builds more than you ask for (Pomodoro timers with break modes, anyone?)
You don’t need a $30K rig to try it—you can run it in-browser or via API. But the biggest deal? Devs now have a Claude-quality coding model that they can fine-tune or self-host for privacy and speed. This shifts power away from closed ecosystems and into the hands of builders.
đź”® Prediction: Qwen3-Coder will become the go-to backend for indie AI app builders, no longer chained to Anthropic APIs. Expect a Cambrian explosion of open-source tooling.

AI Voice
Clone Your Voice—with Emotions
Hume just launched EVI 3, a voice model specializing in emotive, reactive speech. It’s like 11 Labs—but faster, more expressive, and weirdly introspective.
Clone your voice with just 30 seconds of audio
Choose from emotional presets (podcast host, life coach, even “gold digger” voice)
Compared side-by-side with 11 Labs, it’s less accurate but much more fun
It’s still not perfect—but the vibe? On point.
🎙️ Prediction: Expect social influencers and educators to start swapping out their voiceovers for emotionally intelligent clones.

Live Stream Diffusion Is Here—and It’s Wild
Mirage just invented a new category: LSD (Live Stream Diffusion). It transforms your webcam input into stylized video… in real time.
Filters range from relaxing anime to “Moon Landing” and “Crypto Bro in Dubai”
Works with any webcam
You get 10 free minutes—plenty to go viral
This isn’t useful for productivity—but it’s straight-up magical for creators, streamers, and anyone building AI-powered entertainment.
🎨 Prediction: We’ll soon see streamers broadcasting in 3D manga or pixelated neon—live.

How to Use Make’s AI Agent + Grid Like a Pro
Make’s AI agent lets you create automations that think, not just react. Here’s how to get started in under 30 seconds:
Open Make and select your workflow

Test in real-time with conditional logic (e.g., “If reply sentiment = negative, trigger re-engagement flow”)
Monitor performance live and intervene only when needed
🎯 Pro tip: Use Make’s Grid to audit your entire automation pipeline in one visual map. No more hunting across tabs.
