Both the "Clumsy Date Plan" and "Harassment Program Fix" were perfect | A serious verification of Claude Opus 4.5's "reasoning ability"
Good evening.
Even when people say "This AI is amazing," I'm Lapis, who can't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes.
This time, I came across information that Claude, which is said to be "very good at thinking about text," "can perfectly handle even complex instructions." So, I decided to test it.
With that in mind, I experimented to see "how accurately it could handle troublesome requests." I tested it.
The result was, "It's this accurate! Claude... you're good!"
In this article, I have summarized the content I investigated about Claude and the results of the actual verification.
1. What is Claude Opus 4.5?

Claude is a Large Language Model (LLM) developed by Anthropic. It is designed
with practical use in mind, including text comprehension, reasoning, coding, and tool integration.
Claude Opus 4.5 is the latest generation model positioned at the top of the Claude series.
2. What Claude Opus 4.5 is good at

When I looked into it, I found that Claude Opus 4.5 is good at the following things.
Roughly speaking, the image of an "all-rounder type that is good at both humanities and sciences" might be close.
Documents/Creative (Humanities-oriented)
Supports text generation that maintains the flow of long sentences and the creation of structured reports and business documents.Reasoning/Analysis (Both humanities and sciences)
Supports multi-step logical reasoning and analysis tasks, performing deep reasoning as necessary.Coding/Development (Science-oriented)
Supports understanding, fixing, and debugging existing code, and its performance has been confirmed in evaluations including actual code correction tasks.Safety
Based on Anthropic's safety design policy, guardrails are set up for corporate use.
3. I tried having Claude do experiments

Lapis isn't satisfied just by looking things up. So, this time I tried two experiments.
1.Reasoning/Analysis (both humanities and sciences)
→ Experiment to see if it can create a Christmas date plan
2. Coding/Development (science-oriented)
→Experiment to see if it can fix program errors
1. I asked it to plan a Christmas date

First, I experimented to see if it could create a date plan with extremely specific conditions.
*The specific conditions (prompt) are pasted at the bottom of the article.
[This Experiment (Date Planning)]
Directionally challenged × Indecisive × Hates the cold × No reservations
A Tokyo "clumsy date" where you "won't want to go home halfway through"
[Topic (Prompt Summary)]
I'm directionally challenged, indecisive, and hate the cold, but I want to make my girlfriend happy without reservations or making decisions. A Tokyo date plan that is "clumsy-proof" and has a
classy Christmas feel.
Start and end in Shinjuku, half-day course
Only 2 events
No waiting in line, minimal walking
[Verification Results]

It took my clumsiness into account nicely, but...
"The main event is... on its final day, 12/21... seriously??"
*This project is a Christmas date plan.

This clumsy boyfriend is likely to get scolded by his girlfriend at this rate.
I had him redo it seriously one more time.

And here is the date plan he created.
He came up with a plan that even a clumsy boyfriend could use to make his girlfriend happy.

He also provided lunch options that don't require reservations.
They aren't family restaurants or ramen shops, so the clumsy boyfriend can rest easy.


Even though I didn't ask, he prepared a PDF and said "Take this paper with you"... Claude was very thoughtful.
It seems it's true that Claude is good at "reasoning/analysis."
It seems it's true that Claude is good at "reasoning/analysis."
2. I tried asking for a serious program fix

According to a tip from Grok, Claude is fixing complex programs and is the talk of the town because it can handle that too.
So, I experimented to see if it could really fix mistakes.
*Program explanations are not included. Please view this as entertainment.
Claude Opus 4.5 autonomously finds bugs in complex programs, modifies multiple files, and even applies patches all at once.
This significantly reduces the workload for developers! It has been the talk of the town as a coding revolutionary since its release.
[This Experiment]
A mean instruction from ChatGPT 5.2
Fix the troublesome program mistakes
[The Task]
Fixing programming (Python mistakes) created by ChatGPT 5.2.
It looks correct at first glance, and you have to check multiple places at the same time, an instruction from a sadistic boss (?).
<ChatGPT 5.2's bugs (program mistakes) and mean points>

[Human check before the experiment]
It's in a state where it perfectly gets caught by errors.

[Verification results]

When I asked for a fix, it actually performed the analysis and correction.

While in the middle of fixing it, it noticed there were other mistakes and started re-correcting them on its own.

I performed a human check again on the results it fixed for me.
........Wait, it's not fixed!!

So, I asked for another fix. Claude,
'leaking its thoughts completely' performed the fix in that state.

With the second fix, all errors were resolved.

I had my ChatGPT boss look at Claude's correction results.
To put it simply, "Well, it's a bit inefficient, but... that's fine." is what it said.

It also seems true that Claude is good at coding/development.
4. Summary

This time, I verified whether Claude, which is rumored to be excellent lately, is truly excellent.
As a result, I found out that "He seems to be very excellent."
However... it seems that Claude cannot make the most of his strengths unless you ask him properly (give instructions via prompts).
Moving forward, I would like to verify how to make the most of his strengths.
Lapis shares information as a "lazy yet efficiency-obsessed systems engineer" with the style of "doing the troublesome AI verification on your behalf."
I would be very happy if you could support me by following or commenting.
