Opus 5.5 Tested: One Prompt Yields 100 Pages, Animations, and Music

Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 demonstrates autonomous task execution by generating 100 diverse HTML pages from a single prompt, creates JavaScript animations and music, improves writing style by removing em dashes, scores 93.9% on PDF table parsing, but still misses core deliverables in time-boxed tests and shows UI errors despite passing automated checks.
