Goat Riding a Tractor Compare Models - turns out that level of effort Max seems to be a deciding factor (mostly)
A user compared different models for generating an image of a "Goat Riding a Tractor," noting that the effort level of the "Max" version was a significant factor. They spent an additional $2.78 in usage credits to try the Fable Max model, hoping for a better result than the Medium version. The user manually assembled the final image because they ran out of tokens and were unwilling to spend more credits on a Claude-stitched version, eager to share the results.

Tier is a per-source editorial setting, not a per-item score.
I even spent another $2.78 in usage credits to give Fable Max an opportunity to make something better than the Medium version. The rest of the prompts were evidently spent within my Pro allowance.
- **Original Prompt: "Draw a goat riding a tractor, animate the scene"** - It turns the animation into a SVG file.
- **GIF Prompt: "Turn the animation into a gif -- do not change anything"** - I had to add "do not change anything", because Claude would make improvements even without asking.
Sorry for the choppiness of the GIF repeat! The animation was smooth until I messed up the stitch. I am not great at gif editing.
Edit: For those of you wondering why I didn't ask Claude to stitch them together... I ran out of tokens, and wasn't willing to spend my credits on the Claude stitched version. I was so excited to post the results that I just put it together manually.
