I've been trying to generate some product videos with opus 5.5 and I use the API because I don't like subscriptions.

I burned about $150 of tokens over a few hours of chatting, although opus 5.5 did generate some 10-30kb html files at a time, containing the "videos".

I think subscriptions are extremely subsidized still and what happened yesterday was just a small dip of what's to come.

You can just cancel the subscription...

Dear god, you can use sonnet for that.

opus was the only one who did well, argon too

you don't even know my specifications, why are you parroting something useless?

skill issue. i genuinely can’t think of a video you’d need to use opus for. unless your specification is “make it look cool”

Ask questions instead of making half-baked assumptions. Learn something new everyday.
