'Might be the greatest artist silicon has carried': Opus 5.5 stuns with 46K-char math-and-code short film
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-09-23
- User RileyRalmuto posted a viral thread saying Claude Opus 5.5 nearly moved him to tears: a test short film generated by pure math and code (not a video model) in just 46,000 characters.
- He describes the experience as "visual telepathy" — unable to articulate what he imagined, yet Claude nailed it and improved on it in ways he couldn't have conceived.
- The full short film isn't released yet; this is a personal experience account, not a formal eval.
