Grok 4.5 VS Claude Opus 4.8: Who Wins?

from AI News Today | Julian Goldie Podcast · host Julian Goldie

Grok 4.5 vs Claude Opus 4.8: Side-by-Side Game Builds, Real-World Tests (Goldiebench)The video compares Grok 4.5 and Claude Opus 4.8 side by side using Goldiebench, emphasizing real-world performance over benchmarks across multiple game and creative tasks. Grok 4.5 generally produces more playable, smooth 3D games and wins many rounds where Opus 4.8 fails to generate or is too buggy, though Opus performs better in some cases like a driving game, an edited Remotion video, and a flight simulator, and also wins a few specific games. The creator notes Grok can be slow and less agentic in chat and wouldn’t use it for agent workflows unless generating images/videos, while preferring Opus 4.8 for building systems, workflows, and an Agent OS. The video ends by promoting the AI Profit Boardroom for access to Agent OS, agents, tutorials, and community support.00:00 Grok vs Opus Setup00:38 Why Real Tests Matter00:57 Crypt Game Showdown01:34 Dragon Realm Faceoff02:15 Racing and Skyrim Tests03:41 Twilight and VoxelCraft04:43 Runner and Driving Results05:26 Video Edit and Flight Sims06:36 Agentic Use in Hermes07:04 More Games and Scoreboard09:24 Final Verdict and Picks10:39 Boardroom Offer and Outro
