Opus 5.5 Crushes Motion Design

🔥 What happened Anthropic's Opus 5.5 launched a week ago and already tops OpenRouter by token and spend share. The surprise killer app: explainer videos and motion graphics – users generate full 15-second showreels from a single prompt, no After Effects needed. 💡 Why it matters Opus 5.5 leads SimpleBench at 88.4% and beats GPT-6 Sol on vision – at 60% lower cost than Fable 5.1. On Terminal-Bench-Science it jumps from 24% (low effort) to 62% (xhigh), but drops to 59% at max. ⚡ Our take If you're still animating manually, reconsider your career. But beware: the jump from xhigh to max actually hurts performance – Anthropic's reasoning budget isn't balanced yet.
