benjtodd's ongoing Pokemon benchmark shows steep Claude capability gains: Opus 4.0 needed 1,000 hours to get halfway, Opus 4.5 nearly finished in 1,000 hours, Opus 4.6 was another 10x faster. Fifteen months later, Fable beat the game in 50 hours — roughly the speed of a human child and 5x faster than Opus 4.7 just five months ago.
