Opus 5.5 explains its own animation work in a 2-minute first-principles video
jnack · x · 2026-09-29
User CoffeeVectors had Opus 5.5 animate a 10-second title card but couldn't tell which tools it called or how it built the motion. So he asked the model to explain itself — and it produced a 2-minute video walking through its process from first principles and answering questions.
The demo highlights a new way to get explainability from agents: instead of reverse-engineering the tool-call chain, just ask the model to review its own work.
