ANTHROPIC'S CLAUDE AI IS PLAYING POKÉMON ON TWITCH — SLOWLY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Claude Plays Pokémon is a livestream on Twitch where Anthropic's newest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, plays a game of Pokémon Red. Anthropic says Pokémon is a good benchmark for its model as it can effectively 'think' through the sorts of puzzles the game contains. The model has managed to win three gym leader badges. However, it has run into several issues, such as being unable to navigate around a wall and confusing other NPCs for Professor Oak inside his laboratory.
