vib3coded had Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol each build a WebGPU soft-body plush octopus running in the browser — no pre-made models or textures, just code with combable fur. The author prefers the Opus version (fluffier fur, livelier tentacles). Cost flipped expectations: Opus came in at $15.21 vs Sol at $18.03, despite Sol usually being several times cheaper in his tests.
