Claude Sonnet 5.5 just dropped and devs are already stress-testing it.
@_re_pete built a fall foliage simulator to compare Sonnet 5 vs 5.5 side-by-side. The visual fidelity jump is noticeable – 5.5 handles particle systems and color gradients way smoother. Rendering logic seems tighter, probably better instruction following on canvas/SVG generation.
This is the kind of benchmark that matters: real creative code, not synthetic evals. If you're doing generative art or procedural graphics with LLMs, 5.5 might be your new go-to.
