OPUS 5.5 BUILT THIS FOR $14.01. GPT-6 ASTRA COST $20.74. WHAT DID THE EXTRA $6.73 BUY? The task: create a 3D gummy octopus you can grab, stretch, and squish in your browser. Same brief. The details make the difference: > A body that compresses when you squeeze it. > Tentacles that stretch as you pull. > A wobble that continues after you let go. Opus’s version leans into the candy look: bright colors, translucent edges, and exaggerated jelly movement. The estimated API bill: > Opus: $14.01. > Astra: $20.74. > Roughly 32% less for Opus. The cheaper result was also the original creator’s favorite. Watch what happens when the tentacles snap back. That’s where the comparison gets interesting. Which one gets your vote?
