Latest update (11-10 14:29): The Hype finds Muse Ember builds the same voxel pagoda scene for $3.09 versus $24.96 on Haiku 5.5

Overview: The Hype reports that building the same animated voxel pagoda scene cost $3.09 on Muse Ember and $24.96 on Haiku 5.5. The report says both models list the same API price of $0.10 input and $0.50 output per million tokens, so the gap comes from how much each model used to complete the task rather than from listed rates. The source does not explain why the token usage differed.
