Prediction: Opus 5.5 makes many people reconsider their benchmarks, especially when used on max.

@reach_vb Small chance you reply to this, but it is 9:30pm where I am. Willing to stay up to midnight or possibly a little later to see what drops, so 2.5-3ish hours from now. Good plan? Or just go to sleep earlier?

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

This is such a brilliant idea. Especially when their always on agent hits. Onboards more students potentially into college years as well who might stick with them as their goals are already there and agents are helping them get things done and advance towards those goals, too.

OpenAI is building "College Plan" - a new section in ChatGPT where students set up a saved profile of their goals, interests, and priorities, add the colleges they're applying to, and track per-school application tasks and deadlines with dedicated chats

@emollick Is there any advice that you give students? I'm a high school teacher and not sure what I should be telling my juniors/seniors who will be entering college soon. It feels nearly impossible to understand the full implications on the job market for them 5 years+ away.

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

@yong_zhengxin Genuinely want to know what to advise high school students who will be entering college in the next few years on what to do. Many of my students want to study engineering or computer science.

@mashiro_2000 In the replies!

Gather fireflies, light up the night.

A brief pixel art game by Opus 5 (routed).

Sounds like official release for this next model is soon. Can't wait.

Maybe reality isn't real and is instead an elaborate SVG benchmark of humans riding a bicycle.

@LexnLin Incredible!

Claude's explanation of how it was made:

"All the art, music and sound effects are generated in code, with no image or audio files. The water, glow and sunrise are custom shaders on three.js."

@devteamdrew So cool

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

@RealFedeURU It's a good model (will be)

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

@notjazii @Ananth7e Yeah my experience was the same. Felt like I had a ton of use on the 200 dollar plan with Opus.

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

I don’t understand framing usage limits from the POV of “all it takes is a few prompts for me to use up my ____ limits.”

A prompt can be a simple paragraph back to you or it could mean an agent doing continuous work for half a day or more spawning sub agents. Not useful context.

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

We need to start thinking of much more challenging tasks for the next generation of models coming out soon. Imagination, creativity, and ambition will all only become drastically more important as the capability of models scales, I think.

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

If you are using the routed Opus 5 or Fable 5.1 (it knows Tibo) then I'd highly recommend using Max reasoning. Seem to go to a different level when I use them max. Behaves differently too. Fable seems way more talkative than it is otherwise as it builds.

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

@MattPRD Any chance you can tell us when this might go international? Or ballpark?

[Sestina @TaylorBereiter]

@alexandr_wang International rollout when? Timeline? Days? Weeks? Months?
