Overview

• Claude AI, developed by Anthropic, is livestreaming its attempt to beat the classic Game Boy game Pokémon Red on Twitch, attracting over 2,000 viewers.
• The AI uses general reasoning abilities, image recognition, and dynamic note-taking to navigate the game without specialized Pokémon training.
• Despite early struggles, such as getting stuck in loops and misidentifying key characters, Claude has defeated gym leaders Brock and Misty in its recent progress.
• The current version, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, represents significant improvements over earlier iterations, which often wandered aimlessly or failed to plan effectively.
• Viewers have been entertained by the AI's slow but steady learning process, with moments of humor and unexpected challenges, like a persistent Jigglypuff battle.
