Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5: The AI Upgrade We’ve Been Waiting For?

https://www.crafterslab.dev

Is this finally the AI agent solo devs can actually trust? In this episode, I break down Opus 4.5 from a real indie workflow—no hype, no corporate talk, just what actually matters for solo devs using Claude, Cursor, or Codex to ship real projects.

We’ll dig into the new pricing, the wild “effort” switch, and why efficiency matters more than benchmarks for solo builders. I’ll show you how Opus 4.5 actually stacks up in day-to-day coding, and why this one might be the turning point for agent workflows that don’t just look good on paper, but actually help you ship.

And yeah, if you’re ready to see behind the scenes—my full dev setup, live docs, prompt libraries, and all the agent-powered workflows I actually use—check out crafterslab.dev. It’s not just a tutorial dump. It’s my real home base for solo devs who want to treat AI like a teammate, not just another magic button. Full video walkthroughs, downloadable ZIPs you can drop into your own stack, Notion teamspaces with the actual systems and .md files that keep my workflow humming, a curated SwiftUI library, and the Ops Lab where I share every agent automation, template, and indie dev experiment as it happens.
If you’re building solo, this is your spot. Would love to see what you’re shipping—drop a comment or join the crew at crafterslab.dev.
