Claude isn’t a great Pokémon player, and that’s okay
- Claude, an AI chatbot developed by Anthropic, struggles to play Pokémon Red on Twitch, failing to beat the game despite multiple attempts.
- David Hershey, the lead developer, considers the project a success as it helps him understand how Claude handles long-term tasks.
- The project, inspired by Twitch Plays Pokémon, showcases Claude's evolution with each major model release by Anthropic.
- Claude's latest version, 3.7 Sonnet, demonstrates improvements in decision-making and adaptability while playing the game.
- Unlike traditional AI systems, Claude was not pre-trained to play Pokémon Red and learns strategies on its own.
- Hershey assisted Claude with tools like an overlay to interpret the game's interface and overcome its limitations in visual perception.
- Claude's ability to plan, develop new strategies, and adapt when assumptions fail showcases a step towards artificial general intelligence.
- While Claude shows potential, it still faces challenges in short- and long-term planning, sometimes getting stuck in loops of bad decisions.
- Hershey remains intrigued by Claude's progress and plans to continue exploring its capabilities with future model releases.
- Anthropic streams Claude Plays Pokémon on Twitch, inspiring other developers to create similar projects like Gemini Plays Pokémon.
- The project serves as a learning experience for both the development team and the audience, highlighting the complexities of AI in gaming contexts.
