Opus 5.5 vs Astra on a 3D floating-island HQ benchmark
Given the same prompt to rebuild a company HQ on a floating island in a single HTML file, Opus 5.5 produced more detailed visuals but took 38 minutes, while Astra finished 50% faster.
OMG. Opus 5.5 is unironically better AND cheaper than astra gave both models a creative 3D benchmark: recreate their company HQ on a floating island + render their CEO (altman vs amodei) in lego style both on native harnesses, both running on basic $20 tiers, both in single html. results are completely different: opus 5.5 (clear winner): + textures look insane + island terrain & office buildings are 10x richer + lego dario amodei actually looks recognizable + only burned 3% of my weekly quota - only major L: took 38 minutes to generate lmao astra: - way simpler island layout - altman looks nothing like altman lol - camera movement felt super awkward + but finished 50% faster than opus which trade-off are u taking: 38-minute perfection or faster but more expensive outputs?
