Hangsiin shares impressions of outputs from models presumed to be Opus 5.2 or 5.5: "while the model still lacks the judgment or taste of its human overseers, executives don't expect that gap to last long." Also quotes a demo of an Opus 5.2 Max cartoon about Claude and Codex, one-shotted from a short prompt and running for 5 hours. Version numbers are unverified rumors.
