Summary
5 posts on X run this test with Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, Claude Haiku 5.5, GLM 5.3 Flash, Gemini 3.8 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GPT-5.5. @vib3coded, @kinderlayer, @Rohit_115 report per-model numbers (see the table). According to @vib3coded, Opus wins for its water and palette changes, though Astra's night mode is lovely. (The author’s view.) According to @kinderlayer, Opus is more detailed, but Haiku got the whole scene for a twelfth of the price. (The author’s view.) According to @Rohit_115, GLM 5.3 Flash nailed it; Gemini 3.8 Flash did a decent job. (The author’s view.)
