Four models, one front-end prompt: Astra, Gemini 4, Opus 5.5 and Haiku 5.5
Given the same prompt to build a draggable holographic CD that shatters on click, Astra and Gemini came out clean, Opus added the most detail, and the author notes cheap models are closing in on flagships.
holy sh*t. 4 models, one prompt. and one of them costs pennies. GPT-6 Astra · Gemini 4 Argon · Claude Opus 5.5 · Claude Haiku 5.5 same prompt: build an interactive holographic CD, drag to tilt, shatter on click. zero edits, zero cherry-picking. Astra and Gemini went clean and crisp. Opus leaned all the way in - depth, glow, the holo catching light like a real disc. then remember the bottom-right is Haiku. the cheap one. the model you run by the thousand. and it’s standing in the same frame as three flagships. that’s the part nobody prices in. the gap between the best and cheap enough to run all day is closing fast. which disc would you actually ship? and did you clock which one was the budget model? follow if you want to learn to build stuff like this, I break down the models every week.
