Made entirely with Opus 5.5 + $3.21 of OpenRouter API usageClaude Code Workflow

Jaw literally dropped. I ran the prompt from the "Made entirely with Opus 5.5" post on my own project. Here's what Claude Code made on its own for about $4.Claude Code Workflow
How far away are we from “build a startup that generates $1M MRR, my openrouter key is in my .env”?
Fable was a huge leap in terms of model persistence and raw intelligence, but it still had terrible taste for human writing and code architecture. It would constantly keep making decisions which would achieve the desired objective (and make the code correct), but would bite you n years from now, and n years from now isn't RLVR checkable.
Opus 5.5 has a very different "feel" than anything else I've seen in this generation, though GPT-6 does seem to be moving in a similar direction. They have finally solved the writing part, and architectural taste also seems to have improved significantly.
I did a review of some GPT 6 Sol's code with Opus 5.5 yesterday, and it went "the code is correct, but there's a bunch of things here that could be simplified, and the split of responsibilities doesn't follow your established architectural layers" (which was true and exactly what I've noticed myself when reading the diff). I don't think I've ever seen a model do this before and actually be on-point.
Does the js stuff render real-time?
Did you get script/dialog and voice settings (again, for making other films in same series/theme) - or just the rendered audio?
It was good enough that our CEO and marketing team are in a room trying different ideas with it after I showed it to them an hour ago.
The one shot video was brilliant and polished. It would need minor refinement before presenting to a customer, because it used some of that internal vocabulary Claude makes up to describe parts of a system it's working on.
However: I found the explainer astoundingly useful to me. Now, finally, I understand some of that internal vocabulary Claude's been burying me with. The visuals really helped round out my understanding of what it's been talking about.
What is it that makes it "better" versus simply asking for an animated video? Is it the ability to later do some adjustments programmatically?
If it's unusually skilled with one tool, but it's not the default tool for a job, then you have to put it in their hands before they reach for something else.
The Opus 5.5 javascript-art + art direction definitely seems to be one of these surprise capabilities jumps. Maybe strong enough that providers will start to nudge in that direction in the system prompt, so that the user request doesn't need to specify it.
I love LLMs in research, programming, email cleanup—the list goes on. I want the word guessing program to give me lessons I can test and verify. But I’ll ask humans to give me opinions on unanswerable questions. I don’t want a confident dead bot telling me about life. FO. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone created something with LLM that rankles. /rant
I did one for our company and showed it to the CEO and now I am talking him out of just yeeting it directly onto social media.
I don't care how "good" the graphics become - it will always just be slop. This isn't the part of our lives we should be trying to replace with technology.
I mean, ever since AI was a research program, it was assumed it will some day achieve its goal -- in particular, make computers be creative.
I rather live in a world where society decides the nature of technological change, for better or worse, in a democratic fashion than the current iteration we have which is mostly about lighting trillions of dollars on fire while never providing basic needs for civilians (free school lunches, medicare for all, universal childcare, free community college) only to be force fed on what to use by a group of people that do not care about me or my community that always seem to espouse anti-human beliefs.
It's a sick anti-human ideology and it's not shocking when you look at how anti-human tech leaders truly are.
Right now, looking like an AI did it (even if it was actually a human) is a sign of being un-professional. To a limited degree, one can prompt an AI better and get something that doesn't look as cliché as the default settings, but even then there's often someone who can spot a tell. "You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time" applies here.
Art is at least two different things, for at least two different groups: nice to look at etc. is one of them; the human equivalent of a peacock's tail (i.e. the effort is the point and cheating is worse than having nothing) is the other.
Making frozen pizza doesn't get close to eating pizza at an authentic Italian restaurant, but frozen pizza is still pretty good. So if someone says "introducing frozen pizzas will enable anyone to eat a good pizza at home, no need to go to a restaurant" then it's a half truth. The true restaurant experience will still have its role, but the frozen product is still pretty good compared to not having that option at all. But your friends will not be at awe at your culinary skills if you make frozen pizza. But they'll still likely eat it and appreciate it when hungry and chilling at your house.
Who are they gonna sell those to, though, if everyone is unemployed because they're not needed?
Exactly who, do you think, will remain employed, and what will they do?
