Gemini 4 vs Opus 5.5 on a plush watermelon animation: six revisions vs one shot
For the same plush watermelon animation, Gemini 4 Argon needed six revisions and still had off physics, while Opus 5.5 nailed it first try at 6.6x the cost ($0.77 vs $5.05).

Gemini 4 Argon made a beautiful plush watermelon. But first, it tested my patience 🍉 It took SIX revisions to get close to what I wanted. And the physics still aren’t quite right. The watermelon looks great, but the movement needs work Claude Opus 5.5 nailed it on the first try. But it cost 6.6 times as much: Gemini 4 Argon - $0.77 Claude Opus 5.5 - $5.05 So here’s the choice: save money and spend your patience on revisions, or pay more and get the result you wanted straight away Are we paying for intelligence - or peace of mind? 👀
