One watermelon, a bunch of rubber bands, and quite a price gap 🍉 Claude Opus 5.5 vs ChatGPT-6 Astra Both did pretty much equally well: add rubber bands, watch the watermelon squeeze, and eventually it bursts into pieces But Opus clearly wins on price. Estimated API cost: Opus - $7.70 Astra - $12.95 Pretty similar results, but Opus costs about 40% less. Easy choice for me this round 👀
