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.
