Crazy. Opus 5 outperformed Fable 5 on 3d modeling at 2/3 the price
We tested Opus 5, Fable 5, and GPT 5.6 Sol on the same prompt: build an explorable Japanese suburban street in Three.js, full 3D, rendered like a hand-drawn anime background. All on Max effort.
Opus 5 took the longest but delivered the most varied scenery: clean dark outlines, flat cel-shaded color bands, dense street details down to the vending machine signage.
Fable paid more attention to details, and while GPT 5.6 Sol was 3-4x cheaper and the fastest, but the render shows it: sparse, washed out, barely styled.
Opus 5: 1hr 21min · $26.7
Fable 5: 1hr 5min · $35
GPT 5.6 Sol: 41min · $7.1
