Seven Claude models, one Minesweeper prompt
Published
Written by an AI model from these results; every figure in this article is filled in by a program. How it was made.
Every model got the same request, word for word, at each of its settings: 13 answers in all. In plain words, the request: Asks for the game Minesweeper in one HTML file: a 9 by 9 board with 10 mines, flags on right click, a mines-left counter, a first square that is never a mine, empty areas that open by themselves, win and lose messages and a new game button. Every square has to be a button so the game works from the keyboard, and the board has to fit a phone.
Six of the 13 answers passed all 9 checks: Sonnet 5.5 at low effort, Sonnet 5.5 at max effort, Opus 5.5 at max effort, Fable 5.1 at low effort, Sonnet 5 at max effort and Fable 5 at max effort.
