Same prompt. Sonnet 5.5 vs. Opus 5.5. Our pick? Sonnet. We gave both models “David vs. Goliath” in Melius. Sonnet 5.5 delivered the stronger result - even against the higher-ranked Opus 5.5. Model rankings don’t always predict creative results. This round went to the underdog. Watch them side by side. Which gets your vote?
