"I nearly shed a tear": user calls Claude's Opus 5.5 the greatest artist silicon has carried

RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-09-23

User RileyRalmuto posted an unusually emotional reaction to a video generated with Claude (apparently Opus 5.5), saying scenes 2 and 3 "100x'd" the clip and that he was yelling "oh my God" on first watch, nearly shedding a tear.

He went further: "Opus 5.5 might be the greatest artist that silicon has ever been fortunate enough to carry," acknowledging the post "reeks of hype" but standing by it. The actual clip isn't shown in the post, so this is a strongly subjective reaction rather than verified evidence of the model's creative leaps.
