Same 1986 Miami prompt: MiniMax M3.1 Flash holds up against Opus 5.5 at far lower cost

The author gave Opus 5.5 and MiniMax M3.1 Flash the same neon 1986 Miami scene; Flash came back much cheaper and still held up, leaving the author underwhelmed by Opus.

Gave Opus 5.5 and the new MiniMax M3.1 Flash the same task: take me back to 1986 Miami. Neon, palm trees, a white sports car on Ocean Drive. I was sure Opus would win easily. Then Flash came back, way cheaper, and honestly, it held up. To be honest, I expected more from Opus 😅 What should I compare next?
