Claude Opus 5.5 generates 500 clock web pages
What happened
A Show HN post on the Hacker News front page on October 18 shows a developer generating 500 clocks with Claude Opus 5.5 across several sessions in the Claude chat interface, then packing them all into one self-contained 6.3 MB HTML file. The author calls it a personal version of the "pelican on a bicycle" test, meant to probe how well frontier models produce self-contained web pages, and singles out the variety and quality of the Opus 5.5 clocks. The project has so far only been shown publicly.
