Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 solves Rubik's Cube via screenshot benchmark

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 has successfully solved a complex Rubik's Cube puzzle using a new benchmark called TWIST. This benchmark requires the AI to interpret screenshots of the cube and issue commands, simulating a real-world scenario without direct access to the cube's state. Claude Opus 5 completed the 20-move scramble in 44 minutes, utilizing 73 screenshots and approximately 240,000 tokens, with the majority of the time spent in 'thinking' rather than cube manipulation. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates advanced visual reasoning and problem-solving capabilities in LLMs, potentially impacting robotics and complex task automation.
