Opus 5.5 vs DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 Same prompt. Same task. Build a cinematic 3D animation explaining how a Tesla-style electric motor works. Is Opus in trouble?

deepseek did amazing for the price

Deepseek really surprised me this time

DeepSeek just delivered a cleaner Tesla motor animation for $1.25 than Opus did for $16 the premium model might need a new strategy.

For sure, next time Im going to ask deepseek to try to improve even more with 1 or 2 more iterations

woah, i think deepseek cooked

The price is impressive

I always wonder if the cheaper models can reach the same fidelity with a second pass, or if they reach a certain upper limit. Sometimes it matters, most of the time it doesn’t

I agree with you man...if with only one pass was able to achieve something 15 times cheaper maybe with 1 or 2 more passes it can reach something better but keeping the price low

Yeah in your price example 3x at $3.75 is still really cheap 👍🏻

For sure

Deepseek won here

I agree man

Deepseek did good job

Good price/performance ratio

The cost to performance ratio is crazy

Opus has better quality, but the price difference, crazy

I still like Argon output more. But it's clear here that DeepSeek was trained on ekhem.. very similar set of data. 😅

fo you think they are still distilling us models?

I mean, those outputs are very similar, other than Opus being obviously a bigger model. Do you have DeepSeek vs Haiku? :)

I dont have but it is completly possible to do...let me work on that

这波deepseek更新真的很接近opus，不知道bug发现和修复能力怎么样。

Cost to performance is incredible tantalizing

Its amazing

Mind sharing the prompt?

For sure my friend: Create a high-end cinematic and educational 3D animation in Three.js explaining how a Tesla-style electric motor works. The animation must have an EXACT FIXED DURATION OF 40 SECONDS. Do not make the animation shorter or longer than 40 seconds. Final output: Exact duration: 40.0 seconds Resolution: 1920x1080 Aspect ratio: 16:9 Frame rate: 30 FPS Total frames: 1200 High-quality anti-aliasing High-resolution textures Smooth deterministic animation Extremely realistic visual quality The overall visual quality should resemble a premium automotive engineering visualization or a high-end technical product commercial. Build a detailed electric motor assembly inspired by the permanent-magnet AC motors used in modern Tesla vehicles. Do not use Tesla logos or branding. FIXED TIMELINE 0–5 seconds — Hero introduction Show the fully assembled electric motor suspended in a dark premium studio environment. Use: cinematic lighting realistic brushed aluminum copper steel magnets insulation bearings realistic reflections ambient occlusion realistic shadows subtle depth of field Use a slow cinematic orbit around the motor. During the final part of this section, make the outer housing partially transparent to reveal the internal structure. 5–11 seconds — Internal components Move the camera closer and reveal the internal motor components. Clearly show: stator copper windings rotor permanent magnets motor shaft bearings housing cooling channels electrical connections Highlight the important components one at a time. Use floating labels with short technical names. Keep non-highlighted components slightly darker or semi-transparent. 11–19 seconds — Exploded view Create a dramatic and highly detailed exploded-view animation. Separate the motor into many individual mechanical components along the motor axis. Include: outer housing front cover rear cover bearings shaft rotor core rotor magnets stator core copper windings cooling components seals electrical connectors fasteners Keep every component perfectly aligned. The viewer must clearly understand where every piece belongs. Move the camera slightly through the exploded assembly while highlighting the major components. Near the end of this section, smoothly begin reassembling the motor. 19–28 seconds — Electromagnetic operation Finish reassembling the motor. Explain how electricity creates rotation. Visualize three-phase AC current flowing through the stator windings. Use animated electrical pulses inside the copper coils. Visualize the rotating magnetic field around the stator using elegant semi-transparent magnetic field lines, arrows, or vector effects. Show how the rotating magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnets inside the rotor. Clearly visualize magnetic attraction and repulsion. The rotor should begin rotating slowly and gradually accelerate. Display these short explanations: "Three-phase current creates a rotating magnetic field." "The magnetic field interacts with the rotor." "This interaction generates torque." 28–34 seconds — Technical close-up and power flow Show a close-up cross-section of the stator and rotor. Visualize: magnetic north and south poles rotating stator magnetic field rotor magnetic field electric current direction torque direction rotor rotation direction Optionally show three small animated sine waves representing phases A, B, and C, separated by 120 degrees. Then visualize the complete energy conversion process: Electrical energy → stator current → rotating magnetic field → electromagnetic torque → rotor rotation → mechanical output through the shaft. Use clean animated arrows to show the energy flow. 34–38 seconds — High-speed operation Show the motor operating at high RPM. The rotor should spin smoothly while the stator remains stationary. Add subtle motion blur. Show cooling flow through the housing using translucent fluid paths. Visualize heat being removed from the stator and copper windings. 38–40 seconds — Final hero shot Transition back to the fully assembled motor. Show a slow cinematic rotation. Briefly use a transparent cutaway so the spinning rotor can still be seen inside. Finish with the text: "Electrical energy → Electromagnetic torque → Mechanical rotation" The animation must end exactly at 40.0 seconds. VISUAL QUALITY The animation should be: photorealistic cinematic technically believable futuristic premium educational clean and uncluttered Avoid cartoon styling. Use realistic: machining details bolts screws copper winding geometry segmented magnets bearing geometry cooling channels metallic surfaces manufacturing details Use physically based materials with: metallic properties roughness variation normal maps realistic reflections subtle surface imperfections CAMERA Use only smooth cinematic camera movement: slow orbit shots macro close-ups controlled dolly-ins exploded-view fly-throughs cross-section shots internal motor views Avoid: shaky camera movement sudden cuts excessive zooming unrealistic camera acceleration ANIMATION REQUIREMENTS All transitions must be smooth and deliberate. The exploded-view sequence should be one of the main visual highlights. All mechanical components must separate and reassemble with precise motion. Electrical currents, magnetic fields, torque indicators, and rotor rotation must remain synchronized. The entire animation must use the same fixed 40-second timeline on every execution so the prompt can be used as a repeatable benchmark between different AI coding and 3D generation systems.

Close man, very close

i built a 3d explainer of the tesla roadster with claude, same idea. what made opus win or lose for you: the realism or keeping it consistent across the whole video?

Deepseek looks really robust and great, like how they boost their AI

They are evolving very fast for sure

Damn deepseek is holding the line quite good

Very good price per quality

To be honest, I don't see the point in overpaying, DeepSeek does this job very well

I agree, the opus price was not justifiable

DeepSeek did a very amazing job here, how long did it take to output this?

Opus was an old test so Im not sure but Deepseek around 1h50

the winner is whoever builds the best result with fewer retries.

I need to start measuring that man

Of course it's in danger.

Well it's astounding how it outputs soo good with such low costs

Yeah man, deepseek is very cost effective

V4.1 Flash is insane for that speed. Opus might be in trouble on 3D stuff.

For sure man, for the price deepseek is better

Dang deepseek looks really good

both look very good

yeah, what made me impressed was deepseek price

Opus is toast its over

opus result is better no doubts, but look at deepseek price :)

what is the max length of animation they can create? or it just depends on the top-up you have for that model?

Im not sure there is a limit man, I used to create animations from 30 sec to 1 min but im not sure if there is a limit

Did u use higgsfield for this?

No, 100% three.js

Wow, that can't be.

Better than any textbook.

This is the future of learning

It is a great output. DeepSeek is holding its own.

I agree the cost was really good

deepseek is underrated bro and half the cost

I want to do the same test with more interations you know...give an opportunity to deepseek try 2 or 3 more times.

Wait, a "Flash" model is trading blows with Opus 5.5 now? 😅 You ran the exact same prompt to build a 3D Tesla motor animation on both. I think Opus isn't dead, just way too pricey for this.

If this was a blind test, I might have picked Deepseek! But now looking at the cost....

Deepseek very cost effective

It’s not industrial espionage, it’s just high-tech plagiarism with better margins. I see Opus 5.5 flash, must try this out on my videos this is SUPER exciting for one of my projects.

Amazing Deep seek is very awesome

It is good price/performance

wow deepseek is just amazing

The price/performance ratio is incredable
