I asked Opus 5.5 to create a short film on the meaning of life

An experiment tasked Claude Opus 5.5, GPT 6 Astra, and GPT 6.1 Sol with creating 60-second films on the meaning of life, including storyboarding, illustration, and animation. Opus 5.5's film, described as "ridiculously beautiful" and "human and full of hope," was particularly highlighted. The models used an iterative tool-enabled harness with xhigh reasoning, and the workflow involved Blender, HyperFrames, and ElevenLabs V4 narration. All films, the brief, and method are available at nikitavorontsov.com/lab/meaning-of-life.

This experiment uniquely compares the creative outputs of Claude Opus 5.5, GPT 6 Astra, and GPT 6.1 Sol on an abstract philosophical theme, unlike typical benchmark comparisons.
