petergyang · x · 2026-09-23
Tech creator Peter Yang published a video review of Claude Opus 5.5, calling it his most exciting Opus release since 4.6 and saying "Claude is finally back."
As a demo, he used Opus 5.5 to build his own version of Disney's Soaring ride: a flight over the Alps, the Northern Lights, the pyramids, the Great Wall, and Paris at night with fireworks.
The video also covers:
- Whether Opus can rival Google's Astra at building 3D scenes like the Golden Gate Bridge
- How Opus handles computer use, UX design, and video editing
- Whether talking to Opus finally feels good again
His verdict: Opus 5.5 impressed him across these tasks; details are in his video walkthrough.
