GPT-6 Astra Is 92% Cheaper Inside MiniMax Design: Full AI Commercial Workflow
I tried running GPT-6 Astra directly and burned through my credits on the first attempt. Then I found the same flagship model inside MiniMax Design, where a complete AI food commercial cost roughly 92% less. In this step-by-step tutorial, I build an entire KFC-style crispy chicken ad from scratch using GPT-6 Astra, GPT Image 2.5 and MiniMax H3, without writing a single technical prompt myself.
This is a beginner-friendly AI video workflow. If you can type a sentence, you can follow along and create cinematic product ads with consistent visuals, clean camera moves and realistic motion.
