> Claude’s Opus performs best, though it’s not Opus 5.5 but rather Opus 5 which does so. The difference doesn’t appear to be pure chance, Opus 5 is better at interpreting the spec. Some models like Fable 5.1 and Gemini 4 Argon do poorly due to their overly sensitive safety guardrails. The best open-weight model is MiMo-V2.6-Pro.

So the models _can_ use the programming language.

A somewhat flippant reconstruction of this argument is something like,

Can humans code? Or do they just remember the words? I created a programming language called Brainfuck that shows they can't program.

And then reporting results that shows some humans can in fact program in Brainfuck, just kind of poorly.

It's just not very interesting.
