Claude Opus 5.5 builds a Three.js carousel in a three-model comparison
One prompt asked Claude Opus 5.5, ChatGPT and Kimi K3.1 Pro to build a dusk carousel loop in Three.js; Opus took 13 minutes and about $2.12 and added a whole park around it.
KIMI SAYS IT'S 1 POINT BEHIND OPUS 5.5 ON CODING. SO I GAVE ALL 3 THE SAME F*CKING CAROUSEL. One prompt: a vintage carousel at dusk in Three.js. Striped canopy, 12 horses going up and down, warm bulbs, a seamless 12-second loop. / Claude Opus 5.5: 13 min, ~$2.12. Built a whole park around it, sunset, trees, string lights between the lamps. / ChatGPT: 19 min, ~$0.60. The most ornate canopy of the 3, gold trim and painted shields. / Kimi K3.1 Pro: 15 min, $0.41. Biggest carousel in frame, sitting on a plaza in total darkness. All 3 worked. Kimi did it for 1/5 of the Claude price. Which one would you ride?
