I don't know how you rate, but the Opus 5.5 is literally stuttering and lagging when scrolling on a Macbook Air M3 (for me).

(Chrome, also incognito)

More info on this - I ran a few tests on my mac and linux systems with chrome/firefox. I highly suspect this is due to gpu acceleration being disabled. https://image.non.io/e7165331-432b-45c3-986e-c2973f12d377.we...

As soon as gpu acceleration is disabled, the webpage goes from 60fps across the three systems I tried to ~7-20fps when software rendering is forced.

I suspect if you go to chrome://gpu you'll find something different from what I have here: https://image.non.io/a47a1b03-1b87-4fd5-92a2-b39e62b1cfd9.we...

    Nice research, you are right! Seems that low power mode was on. I have been using the web, Netflix, Apple TV app, and anything else just fine without ever noticing a thing though.

    So that all being said, a normal website should work totally fine on low power mode, and this should definitely be a negative on the Opus implementation.

      > and this should definitely be a negative on the Opus implementation.

      I would disagree with this based on two things:

      1. the prompt, which explicitly states to render the planets in the background in 3js (thus the gpu implementation).

      2. the purpose of this, which is a test of its ability to convert an image design into a html/js/css implementation that matches it as closely as possible. I've talked about this before when it's come up[†]. The purpose is to be a good test, not a good design or website.

      For reference, here's the full prompt used:

    Even after ensuring GPU acceleration is enabled on Firefox on Linux, it's still sluggish.

The Opus 5.5 implementation is noticeably slow on my machine as well (Firefox, Fedora, Gnome Wayland, AMD 6800U).

Interesting! Do you have webgl disabled for incognito or for chrome in general? I wonder if it's trying to do software rendering.

FWIW, I have literally the exact same configuration (M3 air, google chrome). Here's a recording on mine where I'm seeing 60fps: https://non.io/video/video-3587018401.mp4

    Mine doesn't stutter on on Firefox on M1 Max, but it pins 7 cores the entire time the page is open, not just while loading. It also uses 50% of GPU in addition to that.

    Edit: The argon built site pins 1.3 cpu cores. The Sol 6.1 site uses 0.18 cores.

    Unless it is something with the playback on my end, your animations and scrolling are a bit jerky too.
