GPT-6 Astra vs Opus 5.5 on a one-shot GTA hot pursuit game
Given the same one-shot prompt, Astra finished faster and used fewer tokens, while Opus 5.5 produced better visuals and ran about four times faster in TPS.
🚨 claude and codex users!! I asked OPUS 5.5 and GPT-6 ASTRA to make my own GTA hot pursuit 😂 Compared on a $200/month budget. Same one-shot prompt. I LOVE OPUS: the water, the chase, the variety. GPT-6 ASTRA (HIGH) vs OPUS 5.5 (HIGH) → Time: 23m39s vs 30m07s → TOTAL Tokens: 793K vs 3.27M Astra is STILL SLOW TPS (23.4 TPS vs OPUS 98.7 TPS) API COSTS would have been $5.40 for Astra vs $5.84 for Opus. Astra finished SOONER. OPUS made the BETTER looking one. YOU CAN DO ~100 similar runs per week with Claude. WEEKLY USAGE is 1.5% for Astra vs 1% for OPUS. Which one is better? What should we test next?
