A project named Opus 5 utilized Claude and Blender to create a 124-second, 4K, zero-cut 3D video in 4 weeks using 26 billion tokens. Key details include:
- Pure Code Generation: No imported assets, hand sculpting, or texture files; everything was code-generated.
- Massive Compute: 17.7 billion triangles evaluated per frame.
- Autonomous Workflow: The model rented 3 RTX 5090s via middleware for 231 GPU hours.
- Cost Breakdown: Rendering cost $229, while "thinking" cost $20,740 (90x more).
- Glitch: The car was rendered inside out for weeks without detection.
