Opus 5.5 on high effort generates a full manim explainer video on Pointers, music included
Hesamation · x · 2026-09-26
Hesamation asked Opus 5.5 (high effort) to build a video explaining C pointers using manim, giving only loose instructions for examples and colors.
Everything else was done by the model itself — including the background music. The demo highlights how far frontier models have come at end-to-end generation of code, animation sequencing, and even audio in one shot.
