The author shared part of the prompt.
I TRIED MAKING A 3D MOTION GRAPHIC WITH CLAUDE OPUS 5.5. THIS IS WHAT CAME OUT. The idea was simple: start at my desk and don't stop zooming until we hit a single atom inside the CPU. Opus 5.5 took it and just kept going. Into the PC case. The cooler lifts off. The CPU under it. The metal lid comes off. Then the silicon die, one core, the copper wiring stacked on top, rows of logic cells, the fins and gates of the transistors… …all the way down to one silicon atom, bonded to its four neighbours. One continuous shot, no cuts. The ruler on the right tracks the scale the whole time: from about a metre down to about 2 nanometres. And the part that still gets me: every frame of this is 3D rendered right in a browser, from code. No Blender, no After Effects, no stock footage. A year ago this would have been a studio job. Now it's one conversation. Opus 5.5 is on another level.
Explainers1:00From Cabo da Roca to observable universe.
I gave opus 5.5 old prompt I prepared for Fable but I was not satisfied with the results. I asked model to create a cinematic film that zooms out from a hillside on Earth to the full observable universe using @threejs No external assets.
Time: ~3h
Output tokens: 662,769
Cache: 125.6M read, 2.0M written;
API-equivalent cost: about $54.52: output $13.26, cache reads $25.12, cache writes $16.14
Explainers0:38I asked opus 5.5 in @agnt_gg for the most realistic fire it could build using ONLY javascript.
It wrote a real 3D fluid simulation that runs on the GPU. The flame colors come from blackbody physics, the smoke is real volume, it runs at 96 fps in 1080p, and it critiqued its own renders about 40 times.
Then it shot a 38 second film of it. The sound comes from the fire itself. 🔥
Details:
- Nothing faked. The fire is actual simulated gas that burns, heats up, rises, and swirls. It gives off soot that glows, and the soot that escapes cools into smoke. Every frame is computed on the GPU.
- The…
Explainers0:35I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain how a rocket engine works by building an interactive Raptor 3 you can take apart in your browser.
Cut it open, follow the oxygen and the methane through both turbopumps, then throttle it and watch the shock diamonds move.
