Anthropic has launched a live stream featuring its AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, playing Pokémon Red on Twitch. This initiative serves as both an experiment and a demonstration of current AI capabilities. Unlike its predecessor, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which struggled in the game, the new model successfully earned three gym leader badges. While it occasionally faced challenges, such as navigating obstacles, the stream highlighted both the AI's reasoning process and viewers' engagement with its gameplay. This event marks a significant exploration of AI's potential through the lens of gaming.
On Tuesday afternoon, Anthropic launched Claude Plays Pokémon on Twitch, a live stream of Anthropic's newest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, playing a game of Pokémon Red. It's become a fascinating experiment of sorts, showcasing the capabilities of today's AI tech and people's reactions to them. AI researchers have used all sorts of video games... to test new models - often more for amusement than utility.
While the model's non-reasoning predecessor, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, failed the very beginning of Pokémon Red - exiting the player's home in Pallet Town - Claude 3.7 Sonnet managed to win three gym leader badges.
On the one hand, it's frustrating to watch Claude traverse Pokémon Red with the speed of a Slowpoke, reasoning through each and every step with excruciating contemplation. Yet it's also oddly compelling.
Eventually, Claude realized that it could navigate around the wall... I notice a new character has appeared below me - a character with black hair and what appears to be a white.
