Anthropic's Claude Plays Pokémon has failed to beat Pokémon Red for the past month .

The project was inspired by Twitch Plays Pokémon , which debuted in 2014 and saw 1.16 million participate in a crowdsourced attempt to beat the game using only the inputs viewers typed into the chatbox's chatbox.

The lead developer David Hershey says the project has been a success for Anthropic .

Claude 's "poor vision" is one of the primary reasons it struggles with Pokémon Red .

The chatbot doesn't "see" the way we do, and it can't "hear" when its inputs cause him to crash into a tree.

The project has been successful enough to inspire an independent developer to program a Gemini Plays Pokémon stream.
