🚨 Claude Haiku 5.5 costs 5x less than Opus 5.5. Look at the same 3D scene from both and tell me where the gap is the scene: a koi canal you float down in a boat. lily pads, a stone bridge, lanterns, a day to night cycle top: Claude Opus 5.5, $26.84 bottom: Claude Haiku 5.5, $5.31 Opus has more atmosphere. the lanterns glow warmer, the night scene feels richer Haiku keeps the same layout, the same bridge, the same mood, for about a fifth of the price and that's just one test. Haiku 5.5 also went up against GPT-6 Luna on a sailing ship at sunset, a running zebra and a koi pond. the koi from Haiku are more colorful and varied, the ones from Luna look paler the gap exists. but is it worth 5x? would you pay for the premium version? 👀
