Simon Willison tested whether Claude Opus 5.5 could compose video-game music, asking it to create a simple text-based music format and a playable artifact with example tracks inspired by *The Secret of Monkey Island*. He says the results were surprisingly good and wonders whether competent music composition is a newly emerged capability in text models, though he has not yet compared it with other models.
