Opus 5.5 vs DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Same prompt. One costs 26x more. Opus 5.5: > 20 mins > ~$6 > animation, sound, tiny details all on point DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: > ~1 hour > $0.23 > got surprisingly close, just a few errors Opus cooked, as expected. But a Flash model getting this close for 23 cents is wild. Which result is actually more impressive? https://x.com/marcthecreatorr/status/2111427716142571554/video/1
