Claude Plays Pokemon was the original concept and inspiration behind "Gemini Plays Pokemon". Gemini arguably only did better because it had access to a much better agent harness and was being actively developed during the run.

- montebicyclelo 1y agoNot sure "original concept" is quite right, given it had been tried earlier, e.g. here's a 2023 attempt to get gpt-4-vision to play pokemon, (it didn't really work, but it's clearly "the concept") https://x.com/sidradcliffe/status/1722355983643525427 https://x.com/sidradcliffe/status/1722355983643525427
- archon1410 1y agoI see, I wasn't aware of that. The earliest attempt I knew of was from May 2024,[1] while this gpt-4-vision attempt is from November 2023. I guess Claude Plays Pokemon was the first attempt that had any real success (won a badge), and got a lot of attention over its entertaining "chain-of-thought".

- silvr 1y agoI disagree - this is all an homage to Twitch Plays Pokemon, which was a noteworthy moment in internet culture/history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon
