AI Weekly: Claude 4.7, Token Costs, Open Models, Backlash, and Practical Ways to Use AI In this weekend "Project Synapse" episode, the hosts review major AI developments, including Anthropic's release of Claude Opus 4.7 (with rapid complaints about lying and token/cost issues) and discussion of the broader shift toward tighter token economics, enterprise budgeting pressure, and Microsoft's evolving M365 licensing that bundles Copilot and agents. They note growing AI backlash ranging from local resistance to data centers and concerns about profitability to reports of attacks on Sam Altman's home. The conversation covers open and Chinese models (agentic coding and multimodal image generation) and the strategic impact of open weights. They also highlight real-world uses: automating documentation, internal Q&A knowledge bases, customer service (including Starlink using Grok), research and editing workflows, book marketing, document drafting, email/search, and accounting/expense automation—while emphasizing hallucinations and verification.
