Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Get ready for a delightful and slightly chaotic Twitch experience as Claude AI takes on the world of Pokémon.
On Tuesday afternoon, Anthropic unveiled ‘Claude Plays Pokémon’ on Twitch, showcasing their latest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet. In this interesting livestream, the AI tackles the classic game Pokémon Red, providing a unique glimpse into AI capabilities.
This stream isn’t just about gaming; it’s an enchanting experiment illustrating how modern AI interacts with video games and people’s responses to it. Claude 3.7 Sonnet is particularly compelling, demonstrating reasoning skills as it navigates through various in-game puzzles.
Unlike its predecessor, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which struggled from the beginning, Claude 3.7 has already secured three gym leader badges. But don’t be fooled; it still faces challenges, like getting stuck on a rock wall for an extended time, which brought some humorous commentary from viewers.
In the spirit of nostalgia, this stream harkens back to the thrilling days of ‘Twitch Plays Pokémon,’ where viewers contributed to gameplay in the most chaotic ways possible. While Claude plays solo, it evokes fond memories of that teamwork as AI models showcase their skills against the challenges many of us conquered as children.
So grab your Poké Balls and popcorn, tune into Claude’s journey, and let’s see how this AI can outsmart a rock wall!
