Claude Opus 5.5 Beats GPT-6 Astra on Higgsfield Video Workflow Time and Cost

Anthropic's newly released Claude Opus 5.5 is being tested against OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra in agentic video workflows, with Higgsfield reporting a commercial-production run that took 60 minutes and $50 on Opus versus 82 minutes and $97 on Astra. The comparison lands as both frontier-model companies are pitching their latest systems for long, tool-using creative and software tasks, where cost, latency and reliability matter as much as benchmark rank.
