Opus 5, Max, Fast: Prompts: 8 Input (cache write): 1,181,215 Input (no cache): 227,275 Cache read: 70,291,242 Output: 302,449 Total tokens: 72,002,181 Cost (USD): $117.7400 Most of the money was spent on trying to get the body and the swing not to look insane. I had to link like... 8 stage of swinging golf swings.show more

also i love that the ball gets relatively bigger to my body the further i hit the ball. Somehow that just makes me so happy

Woh, thats crazy. you know back in 2002 this game would have made $5,000,000,000,000 on steam and now you can make it for $117

wow dude 5 yrs ago this would have been worth $15m total at least and you did this for only $117???

Is this supposed to be good or bad? Looks like wasted time and money to me.

Just don't tell your wife on what you spent this $117

I just one shotted that shit with Gemini 3 flash preview for $0.02. Output Tokens: 5,729 Total Tokens: 19,589 Total Cost (USD): $0.021740

there's something sad about the fact people are spending 72 million tokens on what is essentially a crappy flash game from 2001

“Vibe coding” prompts? Or were you in the loop?

/loop

The future is here! We can finally make 2005 flash games again. Thank you AI overlords!

it’s so over

and yet this is what golf games looked like on donkey hardware 36 years before ai...

i can't overstate how bad this looks

@naymur_dev time to do this with open models using @CommandCodeAI :P

You know back in the day you could have made it for free over a period of months and no one would have cared. Now you spent 117 $ over a few hours and no one cares.

Try creating the same thing using Grok 4.5 high in Grok Build. Compare the time it takes and the cost.

Please god tell me you're making a golf game but with qwop controls for the golfers arms/legs/swing.

Wasted time and money I would prefer Opus 5 and Fable 5 for prototypes not for the final product Also geni 3 is good too

Its only me or is 117$ a lot of money?

And this seemed like a good use of money?

$117, is more than my infra bill. See this kind of ui/frontend/design with AI, I feel like AI is very far behind at building frontend.

Can I add your game as an Easter egg in my app website? It’s about golf. I would keep this like an art piece generated by @ThePrimeagen Now that anyone can build, like painting, we may get more people that admires good craftmanship…

It's these dumb things usually that eat up all of the tokens I swear LOL

Love all your stuff, Prime. No hate from me here; I default to agreeing with your takes on most things. Just wanna ask: is this you saying “look how good this model is!” Or “look how bad this model did here!” ? I can’t tell. I could just be dumb tho

Campfire ( ) generates a cost card per session: backend, model, token breakdown, USD total. Shareable with the team. Cost-cascade mode runs the same task across multiple backends in isolated worktrees, so you can see what each one actually costs before committing.

Lmfao what is this slop 😭

72M tokens for $118. Cache reads completely change what token count means.

this is where I am puzzled; I see this slop and I am like well those are similar results to what I get; but then I see in X some people claiming they one shot a Call of Duty with 3d?! someone must be lying 😛

People: "Look at this absurd golf thing I made for $117!" Also people: "$90 for GTA 6 is too expensive!"

$117? That’s wild

I have a 20 subscription Used cliproxyapi To serve my own agent Did a similar test run yesterday Total token cap set to 10m It works fine, not even trigger the 5h limit. API price is not for individuals...

I think at this point the best AI workflow pipeline is scaffold stuff → tweak a few things → ce-simplify-code → ask the AI to explain to you the codebase and get back to tweak a few things manually The smallest details you want changed live in a few easily identifiable files, it makes no sense to get an AI to take like 3 minutes for a 20 second surgical change you can Ctrl-F / rg

Yeah you'd need some skills you know.

Are you content with using this AI model?

hope there's room for 1 million ads
