Opus 5.5 is verifiably insane 🤯 It built an interactive animated disk space visualiser in SwiftUI from a single prompt Not only does it look great and work as you'd expect, but it can seamlessly morph between a sunburst and treemap layout

This is even cooler than DaisyDisk. How long was the prompt?

"btw id also like a disk visualizer like a sunburst chart. maybe it could animate into a treemap too that would be cool" That was the entire instruction. Alongside like 20 other larger feature requests in the same prompt.

Thanks! It's insane that these models can plan, efficiently manage context and build a first iteration at that level of quality

The animation is impressive. Now the difficult part: keeping those numbers correct while files are changing underneath it. Storage tools earn trust the hard way.

Why limit yourself to 2 dimensions?

Yo this is great! But I'll give you a real challenge: Rebuild this with win32. Let's see how opus deals with it!

Better data visualisation is not the worst use case, but it can't be the only one. For a hobby project though, fantastic.

sunburst to treemap morphing in swiftui is wild

funny - I also built that kind of app with opus 4.6 - it wasn't as nice-looking, but it was similar in feature set. i'm working on a few projects now with opus 5.5 - and it's quite scary how good it is... I think software development is cooked now. Totally and completely.

if it can handle complex layouts like that, imagine the potential for data storytelling

That's not true. Many of such product are open sourced so it basically just duplicate them

BREAKING: GPT-5.5 "Spud" is out and it is a BEAST We've been testing it Every 📧 for the last 3 weeks on everything from coding, to writing, to knowledge work. Here's our day 0 vibe check: - It's a step change in coding AND it's easy to talk to. It's fast and friendly and quickly became my daily driver. But it's also a coding powerhouse—a really rare combination. - It scored 62/100 on our Senior Engineer benchmark. Opus 4.7 scored only a 33/100. (But GPT-5.5 performed best when using an Opus 4.7 plan). Naveen Naidu used over 900 million tokens during testing—and it let him ship production features for Monologue at both high speed and quality. - It has serious conceptual clarity. It can hold a complex plan in its head over hours of work, without getting distracted by existing code. This makes it the first model that we've tested that can perform well on complex refactors requiring deleting and reimagining an substantial existing codebase. - It's a very good writer. This is the first OpenAI model in about a year that got our writers Every 📧 to switch away from Claude. 5.5 has Katie Parrott's seal of approval—not an easy task. Its writing feels more organic and it's better at mimicking a writing style without going overboard. - It's great for agentic knowledge-work. This is the first OpenAI model that manages to be both a stellar senior engineer AND that can be used for everything from spreadsheets to research. It's crazy fast, and it's amazing inside of the Codex desktop app, and got much of our team to switch away from Claude Code and Cowork during the testing period. However, it's not a perfect model. - 5.5 still loses to Opus 4.7 on plan quality. It's plans are extremely readable but Opus has better attention to detail and sharper insight. - 5.5 still loses to Opus 4.7 by a bit on front-end and full-stack product work. Kieran Klaassen found that it wasn't quite as good when full-stack thinking and design are involved. And it's not great writing Ruby. - 5.5 is a great vibe coder but if you're vibe coding without a plan it's worse than Opus. Mike Taylor found that Opus is better at reading in between the lines on underspecified vibe-coding tasks. Overall GPT-5.5 is a massive achievement from OpenAI and it deserves a serious look as your daily driver. Read our full vibe check on Every 📧 here:
