The author tests Opus 5 against GPT-5.6 Soul Ultra using a viral game-generation prompt, finding Opus 5 produces better visuals but less playable games. Other news includes Meta AI gaining calendar/email agent features, Jack Dorsey's Buzz app enabling multi-agent Slack-like collaboration, xAI's Grok Build Mode, Google's Gemini Nano integration in Google Earth, MidJourney v8.2, HeyGen's video podcast feature, LinkedIn's 'seems like AI slop' button, and Google's Gemini Robotics ER2 model. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
