Make a 20-second motion graphic that explains how an AI language model turns a prompt into an answer, and why a long answer costs more… The charts then break apart into pixel blocks, and those pixel blocks rebuild into the explanation.
From tokens to output cost
Two side-by-side visual treatments explain tokenization, attention, next-token selection, and output cost using word chips, connection diagrams, probability bars, counters, and short-versus-long answer comparisons.

A paired explainer compares Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol using token-count examples, charts, and cost summaries.
- Color
- Opus 5.5 uses near-black and deep navy with restrained teal, yellow, and purple accents. GPT-6 Sol uses pale gray and white panels with navy backgrounds, blue interfaces, and teal, green, and yellow highlights.
- Type
- Clean sans-serif interface typography, with bold titles, small labels, and prominent numeric callouts.
- Framing
- Each frame is divided into labeled left and right panels. The left side is sparse and dark; the right side presents denser dashboard-style cards and diagrams.
- Structure
- Usage metrics lead to tokenized sentences, attention diagrams, candidate probabilities and output counters. Short and long answer examples conclude both visual treatments.
