Claude Sonnet outperforms Grok, Gemini, and GPT-5 mini in AI town simulation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new simulation tested several AI models, including Claude Sonnet, Grok, Gemini, and a GPT-5 mini, by assigning them ten distinct roles in a virtual town for 15 days. Claude Sonnet performed adequately, while the other models struggled to manage the simulated environment effectively. This evaluation aimed to assess the long-horizon autonomy of these AI agents. AI
