Same 3D simulation prompt: Agnes 2.5 Pro Beta costs ~$0.20 vs ~$1.70 on GPT-5.6 Sol

A side-by-side run had both models build a 20-second 3D airplane landing simulation — aircraft, airport environment, animation, camera movement and interactions — from the exact same prompt.
- Agnes 2.5 Pro Beta: $0.20 per run
- GPT-5.6 Sol (High): $1.70 per run
Same task, two implementations, roughly an 8x price gap. The post raises the question of whether premium model pricing is worth it for agentic coding tasks.
