Two new models of the first week of November 2026: Ripple-65B Preview (Ricursive Intelligence, open weights, Apache 2.0, released November 4) and Hy4 (Tencent, November 4, weights promised). On November 8 we gave both, word for word, the six prompts that Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol got on October 12 and Kimi K3.1 Pro got on October 24. One request per build, no agent, no second try. The rivals' builds are the ones from those days, unchanged. Ripple-65B's builds did not run; they are published exactly as written, so you can see why. Everything runs in your browser.
A paper-cut animated short drawn on one canvas, eight life stages, a WebAudio piano score.
No fixes. A minimal paper style: a small figure grows up scene by scene, with titled chapters.
Published exactly as written. The answer starts as code and turns into broken text halfway; the page shows only an empty frame.
From video-39. Fixed (one rename): two functions were both called frame(). Original: life-kimi-original.html.
From video-24. No fixes. Hills, a puppy, a bench, an armchair at night.
From video-24. No fixes. A framed storybook with captions under each scene.
Great hall, seven towers, covered bridge, harbour, day/night slider, free-fly and cinematic camera.
No fixes. A dark castle on a green island in a round lake, a greenhouse, boats and a night sky full of stars.
Published exactly as written. The code breaks off into stray text near the end; the scene stays black, only the control panel appears.
From video-39. No fixes. Castle, covered bridge and greenhouse on a lake.
From video-24. No fixes. Snowy mountains, a round lake with boats.
From video-24. No fixes. Soft fog, an island castle.
Storm at sea, a lighthouse beam, a fishing boat, dawn; title cards and a WebAudio score.
No fixes. A 3D sea with a sweeping beam and falling snow, the boat reaching the light.
Published exactly as written. Several syntax errors, including a note to itself inside the code ("Wait - can't use spread in this old way. Fix below."); only the title card appears.
From video-39. No fixes. Illustrated look, a warm dawn ending.
From video-24. Fixed (one line): a unary minus before **. Original: film-opus-original.html.
From video-24. No fixes. Low-poly sea, rocks and a 3D boat.
The car modelled in code: paint swatches, doors and tailgate, lights, wheels, night city, turntable.
No fixes. Every control works; the opened tailgate swings to an odd angle.
Published exactly as written. More than one syntax error (an invalid material line, a variable declared twice); the page stays black.
From video-39. No fixes. The opened tailgate floats above the car.
From video-24. No fixes. Dark studio with a spotlight.
From video-24. No fixes. A clean brand-style configurator.
Endless cliff road, drifting, traffic, a speedometer, a crash and restart flow, engine sound.
No fixes. Orange sky, cliffs, a speed dial and a CRASHED screen with restart.
Published exactly as written. A C-style line, (void)needPos;, is a syntax error; fixing that one line only reveals the next error, so it stays as written.
From video-39. No fixes. Sunset over the sea and a WRECKED screen.
From video-24. Fixed (one line). Original: drive-opus-original.html.
From video-24. No fixes. Low-poly cliffs.
16-step sequencer, drums and three synths, knobs, oscilloscope, spectrum, and a Generate song button.
No fixes. A big glowing step grid, knobs per track, scope and spectrum; Generate changes the pattern.
Published exactly as written. The interface opens with sliders for every track, but the step grid is missing and Play / Generate stop on an error.
From video-39. No fixes. Three moods that change the tempo and the pattern.
From video-24. No fixes. Compact grid with a big oscilloscope.
From video-24. No fixes. Each generated song gets a title.
