Design Comparison: GPT 5.6 vs Claude
rmors_ · reddit · 2026-07-14
The author used the same prompts to have GPT 5.6 Sol (Ultra) and Claude Fable (Max) create 4 sets of designs for a drum machine/VST interface:
- The prompts were: a classic vintage console, a teenage engineering-style fun retro look, and two other free-rein concepts.
- Both started from the same base UI but were allowed to completely redesign layouts, controls, and SVGs.
- The author concluded that both had similar overall creativity levels. Sol was bolder in completely changing layouts, but its detail quality was unstable, frequently showing text overflow, alignment, and consistency issues.
- Fable was better in detail polishing and overall finish, especially in the second "fun/retro" concept.
The author's final verdict: Fable wins, though neither particularly blew them away.
