My conclusion is the opposite. If benchmarks were meaningless, surely Meta would be able to find some benchmark that shows they are better than Sol and Fable. The fact that they can't do that tells me that benchmarks still do mean something.
Opus 5 is incredible at making games. Almost like a generation better than other models from my experience. You won't see that if you just look at the popular benchmarks..
You have to test each model on your actual use case to see how well it really performs.
This is a bit vague. What sort of games with what technology?
I doubt the OP meant something like creating the whole tech stack for WOW.
I was just asking what kinds of games and with which technology.
Neither is stated in the original comment, and the answer obviously isn’t “every kind with every technology”.
Benchmarks are one data point, not the only one, but the easiest one to compare.
