Outrun
Outrun — synthwave horizon driving game with pseudo-3D road.
What I asked each model — the Outrun prompt
Every model on this page got this exact prompt inside the Agent Operating System: Outrun — synthwave horizon driving game with pseudo-3D road.
Single HTML file out. No iteration. No examples in the system prompt. Whatever each model produced on the first run is what's on this page. 3 frontier models have attempted it so far: GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.7, Opus 4.8.
Why this task matters. Outrun is a textbook test of game-class capability — the kind of build that exposes whether a model is doing pattern-matching or actual reasoning. A model that ships this in one shot is usually safe to wire into your agent loop for harder tasks of the same shape.
How each model handled Outrun
Ranked by my 0–10 score from the source comparison guides on agentos.guide. Click any to play the actual one-shot HTML the model produced.
What I saw: GLM shipped the full arcade package — an 'OUTRUN 2086' title, gear, RPM and velocity dials, mountains, the car cruising at 90+. Opus's road curves hard past rumble strips and palms into a scanline sun. Kimi's 'NEON OUTRUN' is clean and on-brief. GLM edges it on sheer completeness.

▶ LIVEHow I scored Outrun — methodology
Three axes, 0–10 each, averaged. Runs: drop the .html in a browser; if it opens to a broken page, it scores zero. Hits the brief: did the model ship the thing the prompt asked for, or a different thing it found easier. Looks good: visual polish, motion, interactivity — where most of the gap between gold and silver lives.
