Claude Opus 5.5 just ONE SHOT a Mario Kart game.
The result is way better than Fable 5.1. The attention to detail is on another level.
Opus 5.5 actually created real characters. Mario, Luigi, in the game, playable. Fable 5.1 has never done that.
Insanely impressed. This model is different.
Unfortunately, it looks like Grok 4.7 won't be anything crazy.
While it seems once again very token efficient - and it'll be cheap - it gets cooked by the upcoming new Opus in my testing, and it's not all that competitive.

@farzyness Grok 4.7 needs a few more days to cook.
We might have penalized response length too much (or something) in RL, as it still gives up on hard tasks (that it can do!) too early and isnโt yet sufficiently rigorous in checking its work.
Union Alpha has been running for 3+ hours and has processed only 34K tokens so far. The slowdown is likely due to the large number of users currently using the model
GOOGLE ๐ฅ: When Gemini is about to change its background, something big is brewing.
Meanwhile, a new "Deep Think Mathematica" model has been spotted in internal testing!
> Last year, Google shipped the Deep Think IMO model to selected institutions, capable of solving complex Math problems, and it seems its successor is in the works.
> Recently, OpenAI announced their solution for Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem which was generated by their next-gen AI model.
Today weโre unveiling Odyssey-3, a big step forward for foundation world models.
It can control robots, power humanoids, drive cars (on the roads of India!), train AIs, pilot drones, and even play video games.
We canโt wait to see what intelligent systems it enables.
Say hello (literally) to Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, our new SOTA live audio models, available with frontier price + performance.
3.8 Live supports 97 languages (can seamlessly switch), async tool calls, and more!
Introducing our most advanced Gemini Audio models yet ๐ฃ
Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking let you speak, collaborate, and execute tasks seamlessly, meaning conversing with AI just got a lot more natural.
So, whatโs the difference between these two models? Letโs break it down:
โ Gemini 3.8 Live is built for scale, speed, and cost efficiency. It can handle mid-sentence interruptions, transitions across 97 languages on the fly, and understands visual context. Figure out how to fix a broken bike chain, or deal with a leaky pipe just by pointing your camera at the problem area in Search Live for step-by-step audio instructions.
โ Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking goes one step further to bring increased intelligence to your most complex tasks. It reasons and speaks in parallel, even narrating its progress as it works. This lets it handle multi-step, behind-the-scenes projects, like planning an event, without ever losing the conversational flow.
Watch how Gemini 3.8 Live combines real-time video and voice inputs in Search Live to tackle hands-on DIY plumbing tasks step by step ๐
Weโre introducing Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking โ our best conversational AI.
The models talk, think, and handle tasks in the background without breaking your flow. ๐งต
Say โhiโ to our most advanced audio models from @GoogleDeepMind yet built for natural, production-ready voice applications.
