Lighthouse SVG: Opus 5.5 vs Sol 6 vs Astra vs Fable 5.1

A user compared four AI models—Opus 5.5, Sol 6, Astra, and Fable 5.1—for generating a static SVG of a detailed lighthouse. Opus 5.5 produced the best visual result but was the slowest and most expensive, consuming over 2000 AIU. Sol 6 was the fastest and cheapest at 126 AIU but yielded the worst artistic outcome. Astra cost 378 AIU and looked "cool," while Fable 5.1, at 811 AIU, was deemed second worst. Opus 5.5 repeatedly refined its output, suggesting that lower effort modes might be more efficient.

This comparison uniquely details the cost and artistic output trade-offs across four specific SVG generation models, unlike general performance reviews.
