This is @BenStiller’s creative process for Severence’s plot.

@IAmMicahMillion I may be older than you

@ultraspacemoot I actually love magnum, and recently played through Soul Silver again with chikorita and it I couldn’t believe how useless they were in almost every fight. Charizard at least has been given significant buffs over the years.

Gotta say @rachelchinourir is next for amazing female artists, ngl.
The music goes crazy.

@AnthropicAI When we paste large amounts of information and you see it like a pasted doc, are we supposed to say “see attached” or just carry on like it was pasted where we pasted it?

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

Please @OpenAI @grok @deepseek_ai can we make playing Pokemon a new benchmark standard? @AnthropicAI 👏🏻

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Extended thinking also allows Claude to shine on open-ended, agentic tasks.

One such task is playing Pokémon Red. Claude 3.7 Sonnet progresses further in the game than any Sonnet model so far. One could even say it's the very best.

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

@chrisgorgo It’s amazing, the team did a great job!

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

@alexalbert__ Congratulations - this update seems huge!

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

Ain’t no way Claude 3.6 is 10% to 20% better at coding than o-series models.

Excited to try it 🔥

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is a state-of-the-art model for both coding and agentic tool use.

In developing it, we’ve optimized somewhat less for math and computer science competition problems, and instead shifted focus towards real-world tasks that better reflect the needs of our users.

@awesomeTN @MYSTIC7 Yeah I've told my friends many times "I don't think the developers have ever played pokemon" lol.

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

@awesomeTN @MYSTIC7 oh for sure, I have an inside source that Niantic has basically been completely failing and that Pokemon Go is the only even somewhat relevant game they've produced.

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

@awesomeTN @MYSTIC7 that's why I said "pokemon" lol not "pokemon go".
But it's not going anywhere. It's a huge game. Even if it's sold it will still be supported and exist.

When Charmander was abandoned in Pokemon - it gave up.

When Squirtle was abandoned in Pokemon - it became empowered.

That’s why Squirtle will always be my spirit starter.

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

@NeonLines_ @HiddenPowerPod I agree that generally they are are all better. Greninja being an exception. But not having any gen 1, 2, or 3 seems like a huge fumble.

New regionals for charizard, greninja, and chikorita would go crazy for starters ngl.

There’s a lot of great AI models. But when it comes to creativity and personality, nothing beats @AnthropicAI’s Claude

[Nathaniel Gerdes @GerdesOfEarth]

Being a Pokemon content creator must be so hard because it’s like there’s a ton of content to be made all at once - and then nothing for over a year.
