Claude Fable 5 vs GPT-5.6 Sol: The $100 AI Music Video Showdown

$100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol

We built an autonomous harness to let Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol create full music videos for Bruno Mars' 'Uptown Funk' with strict budgets. By logging every tool call, we watched them research models, generate clips, and edit with ffmpeg. While both models produced valid videos, they struggled with story consistency and tempo matching, revealing significant gaps in current frontier AI capabilities despite their impressive tool usage.

"The models take lyrics very literally, so 'Make a dragon wanna retire, man' gets you an actual dragon on screen, which is interesting for a few shots but gets weird after a while."
