OUR NOTEA vertical explainer showing a self-taught 2048 agent failing at 128 in game one, hitting its first 2048 at game 497 and reaching a near-99% win rate, with a curve of wins against games played.
Always wondered if you can win every game of 2048, so i gave Claude Opus 5.5 one prompt. It built an AI that learns from zero, on my laptop!
Game 1: dies at 128
Game 497: first 2048
Game 3,915: first 8192
Game 98,299: first 16384
Can it win them all? No. After 2M games: 99%!THE PROMPT
Partial prompt — the creator shared only part of it.
