Transcript

I built the same app with three different models. Here's how much each one of them cost and which one performed the best. Each model to build me a front end clone of Airbnb with a modern luxury cinematic aesthetic. First up is Claude Sonnet which cost me 2.5 million tokens. It produced a clean output, the tabs seem to work well, the navigation seems to work as well, but there's not much originality. Overall, this is a good job. Next up is Composer 2 which is Cursor's latest AI model. This one only cost me 870,000 tokens, which is about a third of the price as Claude Sonnet. Output is really clean, it's much closer to a cinematic luxury aesthetic. The different tabs seem to work and most of the buttons do as well. Overall, I'd give this a very solid rating. Next is GPT 5.5 which cost me 1.3 million tokens. It looks very similar to the original Airbnb website. It's pretty clean and modern, not all of the buttons work perfectly, but it does have some nice animations. This video is sponsored by Cursor.
