Allie Miller: Claude Opus 5.5 is the first to pass her code-meets-poetry test

Allie Miller long considered OpenAI models best for ideation — until Opus 5.5. It's the first model to pass her private "code meets poetry" challenge, which she'd shared with only one lab. In a slide-design test, Codex floundered while Opus 5.5 generated six labeled PNG options via GPT's image 2.5, saved them, opened Finder, stated its preferences, then auto-built her picks as fully editable PPT slides unprompted. She notes earlier tool-call failures appear fixed and calls it a tool-wielding machine, far more creative than prior Claude models.
