🛎️ We Tested GPT-5.4

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

Biggest news today: the Pentagon put Anthropic on its supply-chain risk list, and Donald Trump said they should be “fired like a dog.” The rift between AI and the military is widening.

NEW LAUNCH

AI Secret Test: GPT-5.4 Built For OpenClaw Agents

👀 What’s happening: After a full day testing GPT-5.4 inside MyClaw.ai workflows, author Magna reached a fairly clear conclusion. The model behaves like it was designed for agent execution. With Peter Steinberger now inside OpenAI, GPT-5.4 reads less like a routine model upgrade and more like a system tuned for OpenClaw-style automation.

🌍 How this hits reality: The capability profile matches agent work unusually well. It reasons, codes, browses, and operates software from screenshots in a single loop. In these tests, designing and executing tasks through MyClaw.ai, performance landed slightly above Claude Sonnet 4.6. It still lacks the unsettling “beyond human” leaps seen in Opus 4.6, but reliability stayed high across multi-step agent runs.

🛎️ Key takeaway: GPT-5.4 may not be the smartest frontier model, but it might be the most practical agent brain right now. With far lower cost than Opus-class systems, it looks positioned as the everyday model for OpenClaw-style execution.

Run the GPT-5.4 Version of OpenClaw on MyClaw.ai

GPT-5.4 just dropped — and MyClaw.ai is FIRST to ship KEY-FREE access.

No API key. No setup. Switch model → done.

But we're going bigger:

• 💰 $1M Token Subsidy Event
• ⚡️ GPT-5.4 at 50% OFF Official Pricing
• ⏰ 24 Hours Only

While others are still configuring API keys, MyClaw users are already running GPT-5.4 at half price — and deploying it on OpenClaw before everyone else.

GLASSES

Meta Built a Surveillance Machine You Wear

👀 What’s happening: Investigations by two Swedish newspapers found that footage captured by Meta’s AI smart glasses has been reviewed by contractors in Nairobi, Kenya. Annotators say they have seen recordings of bathroom visits, naked people, and intimate situations. The clips appear when users interact with Meta AI features that sometimes enter human review pipelines for labeling and training.

🌍 How this hits reality: More than 7 million pairs of Meta AI glasses were sold in 2025. That means millions of camera-equipped devices quietly collecting daily life. Workers say blurring often fails, leaving faces, homes, and even bank cards visible. The result is a global annotation pipeline where private moments become raw material for AI training.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Meta did not just ship smart glasses. It shipped a distributed surveillance machine. The glasses are only an early example. As other AI assistants move into glasses, earbuds, and pins, everyday life risks becoming permanent training data.

STARTUPS

Cluely Admits Fabricated ARR

👀 What’s happening: Cluely CEO Roy Lee admitted on X that the $7 million ARR he publicly shared last year was fabricated. He later tried to frame it as an offhand response to a “random cold call.” Records show the interview was arranged by Cluely’s own PR team. The company later posted Stripe screenshots suggesting actual revenue was several million lower.

🌍 How this hits reality: Cluely built its early fame around a product designed to secretly help people cheat during video interviews. That viral positioning helped the startup raise $5.3 million in seed funding and later $15 million in Series A capital. The irony is obvious. A company selling cheating tools ended up cheating its own growth narrative.

🛎️ Key takeaway: This is startup theater taken to an extreme. Cluely turned cheating into a brand, then applied the same logic to its metrics. Viral growth games may attract attention, but credibility remains the real currency.

DAILY TL;DR

• The Pentagon formally labeled Anthropic a “supply-chain risk,” restricting contractors using Claude from defense contracts.
