Awesome AI for 3D modeling & Robotics

Companion survey: On the Opportunities and Risks of Frontier Models for 3D Modeling, Computational Design and Robotics (MIT CDFG), with a searchable gallery of every case in this archive.

Public, source-linked examples of general AI models used for 3D modeling, industrial design and CAD, robot control, and animation, collected from X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Bilibili, Reddit and GitHub; eight robot cases with no announcement post take their paper (six) or code repository (two) as the source. OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra appears in more cases than any other model; comparisons and benchmark tables also cover Claude, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek and vision-language-action policies such as MolmoAct2. Each entry links to the original post, names the author and date, and quotes the author for any number or claim. The demo videos are archived in this repository.

Every link was opened at its original source before the entry was written; media are archived in this repository. Cases are grouped by application, not by model: each case names the model or models in a Model field, and a comparison of several models on one task stays in the case for that task. Where a model identity comes from the author rather than the vendor, the Model field says so. Reposts and commentary are listed under the original case, not as separate entries.

Public demonstrations arrive quickly and from many places, and reviewing each one in full is slow. A public, maintained index is the practical way to keep an assessment both broad and checkable. Within every subsection, posts whose authors published code that runs the demo, or the workflow or evaluation that produced it, come first; then posts with a live demo website; then posts alone. General-purpose tools a demo used, such as Blender MCP, are listed under Agentic tools and integrations and do not count as the demo’s code.

image-blaster: one image to an explorable 3D world, as a Claude Code skillset
Neilson K-S (@neilsonks), X, 2026-05-14
The author writes “open-sourcing a 3D gen toolkit for Claude Code” that turns an “input image → environment, meshes, physics, lighting, & audio”. The repository describes “An image-to-world skillset for Claude”: Claude Code runs skills and subagents that call World Labs’ Marble for a Gaussian-splat environment, Hunyuan 3D through FAL for meshes of the dynamic objects, image-edit models for clean plates and ElevenLabs for ambient and object sounds, in “< 5 minutes” per its README. The thread shows the skills harness, explains that meshed objects are removed from the input image to build the static world, adds a companion app to view and pose the objects and links the code; a post the next day invites people to share what they make. The clip pairs input images with the worlds made from them, such as an attic, a cellar with clay pots and a library, and shows the Claude Code session. The author’s X profile lists product work at World Labs, whose Marble model the skillset calls. The repository dates from April and May 2026, earlier than most cases in this archive.

Floor-plan image to a 2D and 3D home planner in one HTML file
WY (@akokoi1), X, 2026-09-28
The author writes (in Chinese) that Opus 5.5 built the project in about an hour from a single floor-plan image: it rebuilds the plan at the original dimensions, and in 2D furniture can be placed, rooms measured, walls removed or changed and floor materials swapped, before a transition to a 3D bird’s-eye or walk-through view. The clip shows the 2D plan with its furniture list and the furnished flat in 3D. A day later the author released it as a single HTML file of more than 2,000 lines and added iPad support after children took to it as a renovation game. The repository has no license file.

The author writes “I used Opus 5.5 to build & port 3 procedural buildings from Blender geometry nodes to the web” and “The node graphs run live in three.js, a procedural city wraps around them, with light & camera presets.” The clip shows a brick corner building whose shop count and awnings change with sliders, a tower block among white massing blocks and a street corner of the surrounding city. The repository includes the .blend files, states that the port is verified against Blender’s evaluated geometry, and has a commit co-authored by Claude Opus 5.5. The Three.js account shared the page the next day.

AWSM: geometry-grounded agentic reconstruction, mapping and simulation
Yaofang Liu (@stephenajason), X, 2026-10-01 · W. Wang (@wenting_is_here), X, 2026-10-01
The authors introduce AWSM (Agentic World Simulation and Mapping). W. Wang’s thread notes that agents “like #GPT6 #Astra can now build editable 3D scenes straight from visual observations” and that AWSM “grounds this agentic reconstruction in geometric evidence (IMU, metric depth and camera poses), so the resulting scenes can serve as maps and simulation assets for robots”; Yaofang Liu’s post describes the multi-robot demo, in which “four robots follow predefined routes to reception and line up.” The project page compares four routes, from RGB only to ground-truth camera poses, in one synthetic NVIDIA Isaac Sim lobby, and reports that bidirectional surface error falls from 0.376 m to 0.072 m; it adds that “One synthetic scene and one engineering run per route do not establish general superiority or statistical significance.” The rest of the thread covers the study and the robots, real-to-sim-to-real, a phone video of the team’s café turned into an interactive Blender scene and the code, crediting “@stephenajason and Phygital AI Team”; a quote post by Yaofang Liu reads “GPT-6 Astra building 3D scenes is exciting.” The clip moves from the lobby to a route map (“One map. One destination. Four robots.”), the four robots at the reception desk and the café video beside its editable Blender scene.

Arena Aurelia: a Roman amphitheatre and its walled district, with crowds, markets and a day-night cycle
Givros (@givros), X, 2026-10-10
The caption is “My Roman Arena, create with GPT 6 Astra + skill custom” with a link to the demo; the repository describes “An explorable Roman amphitheater and inhabited city district, built in Blender and rendered with Three.js WebGPU.” The 121 s clip flies over a walled town with a river and an amphitheatre hung with red banners, goes down to the arena floor with cages and grates under full stands, walks through a crowded market, backstage passages and streets, and ends over the town at night with lamps lit. A second post the next morning, “Arena Aurelia - A Roman District”, names “GPT 6 Astra Ultra”; its clip shows the crowd at the gates, an aqueduct and a temple, and a panel that moves the time of day to night. The repository’s report says the district extends a reference arena and that “A generated continuation concept supports the unseen districts”.

SF 3D: San Francisco as a real-time 3D explorer with 170,000+ buildings from open data, terrain, sky and clouds, a guided tour and a walk mode
Athrix (@athrix_codes), X, 2026-10-13
The author writes “I built Entire San Francisco with Gemini 4 Argon!” and “I was invited by Google for early access to Gemini 4 Argon and spent hours testing its capabilities across frontend development, UI design, interactive experiences, and creative projects.” The clip follows a tour of the city with captions such as “Golden Gate Bridge from Marin Headlands”, “Lombard Street Crooked Block”, “Salesforce Tower & SoMa Skyline”, “Oracle Park & McCovey Cove” and “Sutro Tower & Mount Sutro” at night, and ends over Alcatraz at night with “MADE BY ATHARV”. An hour later the author posted the same clip with “Entire San Francisco Made by Gemini 4 Argon”, “170,000+ buildings, terrain, live sky and clouds” and “is now opensourced!”, linking the live page and the repository; asked how many tokens it used, the author replied “idk but in total run for 9hr :)”. The live page, “SF 3D | San Francisco Real-Time 3D Explorer”, has tour stops from “Skyline” and “Golden Gate” to “USF” and “UCSF”, daylight, golden, fog and night lighting, a satellite-imagery switch, a walk mode and a “90s Tour”. The repository holds the TypeScript and Vite source, the bake tools and the baked data; its tools/README.md says the data is baked “from 100% free, public-domain / open-data sources” (DataSF building footprints with 2010 lidar heights, OpenStreetMap, and USGS and NOAA elevation and imagery), and its verification ledger, GATES.md, counts “176,777 SF buildings across 36 cells”. The code describes the explorer as “powered by jeantimex/tokyo rendering & shaders”, a public repository with a real-time 3D model of Tokyo, and GATES.md also names wheresryan22/anatomy, the skill of M237, for the “3D Universities & Landmarks”. The repository was created on 2026-10-12, the day before the public rollout; its only commit is titled “Gemini 4 Argon - Cooked!”.

A sunlit concrete library ray-traced from first principles in Python and NumPy, then rebuilt as a WebGL2 room that reshapes as its frame is resized
fofr (@fofrAI), X, 2026-10-13
The author, who works at Google DeepMind, the model’s developer (profile: “Whispering to models at Google DeepMind”), writes “When I was playing with code painting in Argon, I casually asked it to make a realistic scene from pure python.”, “It wrote 5,000 lines of code and built it’s own 3D ray-tracing engine from first principles.” and “Argon also made this video, prompted the TTS and mixed in the music from Lyria.” The clip presents the rendered room, with tall bookshelves, an orange leather armchair, a stone coffee table holding books, a vase, a carafe and a glass, and corner windows over water, in cards titled “Rendering a 3D scene with vanilla Python” (“5,500 lines of Python & NumPy ray-tracing every surface, shadow, and refraction from scratch.”), a prompt card (“Render a photorealistic sunlit concrete library interior from first principles in Python and NumPy”), the code split into “Concrete & Joinery”, “Procedural Materials”, “Daylight & Shadows” and “Glass Caustics”, sunlight focused through the carafe (“Focusing bright caustics on travertine stone”) and the credit “GEMINI 4 ARGON · LYRIA 3.5 · GEMINI 3.8 TTS”. A reply links the code. That evening the author posted “The next prompt: Now convert it to javascript and WebGL. Make it responsive and performant, so I can resize the window. The room needs to adapt in real time.” and “Still no libraries.”, with the page’s code; that clip shows the page “A sunlit concrete library, built from pure math and light” as its frame is dragged wider, narrower and taller and the room reshapes, with snowy mountains outside. Replying to a comment on it, the author wrote “I was thinking, why shouldn’t a room reflow and adapt like a website does?” The repository, in the google-gemini organisation, says “Written by Gemini 4 Argon, the repository includes two self-contained engines that build a sunlit concrete and walnut library from first principles”: python/sunlit_library.py, 5,711 lines of Python with NumPy and Pillow, renders the room at 1600 by 1200, and javascript/index.html is the WebGL2 page, which “needs no build step, bundler, or external library”. Its three commits, by fofr on 2026-10-13, carry no model co-author lines. There is no hosted page; the WebGL2 page ran when opened locally. Google’s YouTube channel had uploaded the scene on 2026-10-12 as an unlisted video, “3D Room Python demo: Gemini 4 Argon” (video).

A LEGO Gyeongbokgung in Three.js from one Korean prompt: Gemini 4 Argon at three thinking levels in the Gemini app against Claude Opus 5.5
코난쌤 conanssam, YouTube, 2026-10-14
The video, 「제미나이 4 아르곤, 사고 수준 올리면 더 잘 만들까? 경복궁 레고 비교 (vs Opus 5.5) 11분 총정리」 (“Gemini 4 Argon: does it build better at a higher thinking level? A Gyeongbokgung LEGO comparison (vs Opus 5.5), an 11-minute summary”), runs one prompt, which asks for Gwanghwamun, Heungnyemun, Geunjeongjeon, Gyeonghoeru and the palace walls in studded LEGO bricks with red, green and blue dancheong, dark grey tile roofs, Korean labels and an assembly button, in the Gemini app and on claude.ai. Its description says 「Gemini 앱에서 같은 프롬프트를 최저가·보통·최고가로 실행하고, claude.ai의 Opus 5.5(노력 중간) 결과와 비교했습니다.」 (“We ran the same prompt in the Gemini app at the lowest, medium and highest levels and compared the results with Opus 5.5 (medium effort) on claude.ai.”), lists each run’s time and block count (lowest about 189 s and 4,691 blocks, medium 173.2 s and 29,080, highest 351.0 s and 4,643, Opus 5.5 385.5 s and 10,804) and warns 「같은 요청도 다시 실행하면 결과가 달라지므로, 일반적인 성능 순위로 해석할 수는 없습니다.」 (“The same request gives different results when it is run again, so this cannot be read as a general performance ranking.”). From 9:15 the video shows the thinking-level menu in the Gemini app and screen recordings of the four palaces, three on dark backgrounds and the Opus one on white, then all four side by side; per the description, the medium level placed the most blocks, the highest added build-stage notes and a camera that moves to each building, and Opus stacked the blocks one by one. The repository keeps the four pages as generated, the prompt and a comparison image; its README says the Gemini runs used Canvas in the Gemini app, the Opus run a claude.ai artifact, that the Gemini pages load Three.js r128 and the Opus page Three.js 0.160, and that its MIT licence covers only argon.py. The same video and repository also show an argon-atom model made through the Gemini API, a 2D page that is not part of this case.

Lab kitchen walkthrough video to 3D assets with joints (kitchen-twin)
Zhiyang (Frank) Dou (@frankzydou), X, 2026-09-11
An agentic workflow that turns one handheld phone walkthrough of a lab kitchen (~20 s) into 3D assets, with no depth sensor, CAD or asset library, in about a day including human-in-the-loop. The author’s description of the loop: ViPE gives camera poses and metric depth; GPT-6 lists the objects, and open-vocabulary detection and tracking gives per-object masks; for every asset GPT-6 writes the object as a program in a small Blender DSL, renders it over the original frames, compares it with the scan points in 3D and iterates; a separate GPT-6 session is the verifier and “must justify every complaint with a frame”; the output is MJCF/URDF with joints. Author’s caveats: “thin and shiny things are still weak, a few objects are drafts, the room shell needs another pass.”

Tràng An boat tour: a first-person sampan ride between the limestone karsts of Ninh Bình, built in Google AI Studio
Chanel Luu (@chanelluuh), X, 2026-10-13
The author, who works on design for Google AI Studio at Google, the model’s developer (profile: “design @GoogleAIStudio”), writes “Have you ever loved a place so much you just want to recreate it to revisit anytime you want?” and “Welcome to my version of Tràng An boat tour, an experience built entirely with Gemini 4 Argon in Google AI Studio :)”. The 26 s teaser opens on “An experience made in Google AI Studio” and then rides in first person from the bow of a rowing boat with oars and a small red flag along a still green river between steep limestone cliffs, past water lilies and mist, towards a temple pavilion on the water, with one view from behind the boat; the corners read “WASD to move” and “Made by @chanelluuh”. Asked to share the prompts and the remix flow, the author replied “You got it! Will share the code in AI Studio asap! This one takes iterations so I’m thinking of a way to share as many prompts as I can, will link here :)” and a minute later posted “Link is live! Try out the experience here” with the page. The live page, “Tràng An — Ninh Bình First-Person Boat Tour”, opens on “Visit Tràng An” and “SCROLL TO CONTINUE”, then runs the same first-person ride with “WASD to move” and a status line that begins “Currently at Bến Đò Tràng An (Tràng An Golden Valley)”. It loads ten plant, water-lily and karst models exported with Blender’s glTF exporter and six image textures (sky, limestone, temple timber, roof tiles and masonry); the posts do not say how these were made, and by 2026-10-15 the author had not posted the code or the prompts.

MUMBAI: THE LIVING CITY, a browser city with the Sea Link, local trains, traffic, a 24-hour sky and a sudden monsoon, from one prompt in Gemini
Dev Khanna (@CurieuxExplorer), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “My first test-run with Gemini 4 Argon… and I am genuinely speechless”, that “I gave it a single master prompt to build” a “living, breathing Mumbai 3D Urban Simulation in the browser”, and lists “100+ simulated Kaali-Peeli taxis, autos & BEST buses obeying traffic signals”, “Clickable 3D vehicles & local trains with live camera lock + authentic horns” and “A real-time Web Audio synthesizer playing Raag Yaman & Monsoon Lo-Fi beats”, “All running at 60 FPS in a single HTML file.” The clip, recorded in the Gemini canvas, opens on the title screen (“MUMBAI”, “THE LIVING CITY”) and moves through a blocky city: the cable-stayed “Bandra-Worli Sea Link” with red buses, a “CITY CONTROL CENTER” panel for sky, rain, traffic and districts, a ride along the local train tracks, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and the Gateway of India, rain over the Sea Link after “Scenario B: Sudden Monsoon” is loaded, and Marine Drive at night. The author’s second post, with the link, shows the “Auto Director” tour, from “SHOT 01: BANDRA-WORLI SEA LINK AERIAL” to “SHOT 05 // WORLI-PAREL SKYSCRAPER CANYON & TRAFFIC PULSE”. In one reply the author wrote “Planning to benchmark it against Opus 5.5 with the same prompt. So far, Gemini Argon looks seriously impressive, even with a simple prompt!”, and in another “Strong on structural orchestration, motion and animation… designs still feel rigid and geometric though, more procedural than Opus 5.5”. The Gemini share link opens the app after a “Continue” screen, without signing in: “MUMBAI: THE LIVING CITY — Interactive 3D Metropolis Simulation” offers “ENTER THE LIVING CITY & ENABLE AUDIO”, “LAUNCH CINEMATIC TOUR (WITH SCORE)” and five scenarios from “Golden Sunrise at Sea Link (06:45)” to “Midnight Queen’s Necklace Lights”, and loads Three.js r128 and no model or image files.

The author writes “I asked Gemini 4 Argon to build an interactive 3D room designer”, with “One-shot prompt”, “Single HTML file”, “Done in ~2 minutes” and “Cost barely $1”, and “With a better harness, this could even compete with Opus 5.5”. The clip shows “ROOM STUDIO” (“INTERIOR DESIGN WORKSPACE”) with “The Calm Living Room”, a cut-away living room with a sofa, a coffee table, a floor lamp, a plant, a media cabinet, framed art and a large window: pieces are selected, moved, turned and given other finishes, the light is set to evening and the “Warm Minimal” preset is applied. A reply links the live page and posts “the exact prompt I used to build it in Gemini” (“One prompt, one HTML file, no backend.”), a long specification that begins “Build a Beautiful Interactive 3D Room Designer in One HTML File” and asks for “an interactive application called ROOM STUDIO” with orbiting, moving, rotating and recolouring furniture, a time-of-day slider, three presets (“Japandi Calm”, “Warm Minimal” and “Modern Contrast”), added objects, a grid, a reset and a PNG screenshot. The live page, a Google Sites page titled “Priy-gemini-argon-test”, embeds the app (“ROOM STUDIO — Interior Design Workspace”), which loads Three.js r128 and opens on the Japandi Calm room with eight furnishings listed.

Pizza TT426: one PDF floor plan of a 42.34 m² pizzeria turned into two interactive 3D layouts, by Gemini 4 Argon and by GPT-6.1 Sol (High) in Codex
Andrej Dunaev (@dun4ev), X, 2026-10-13
The author opens a three-post thread with “Gemini 4 or Codex 6.1 Sol (High)” and “Built an interactive 3D pizzeria layout from a PDF plan using Gemini 4 Argon. Explore the equipment, dimensions and animated menu screens. The anonymized English PDF plan is available to download.” The clip of the Argon version shows an isometric model of the shop, with counters, ovens, refrigerators and bar stools, between panels of zones and equipment, captioned “Turn labels and dimensions on or off”, “Switch to a top view with dimensions and zones”, “Four menu screens with independent slide timing” and “View the 2D diagram and download the PDF plan”. The second post reads “I also built another version in Codex with GPT-6.1 Sol (High).” and “An interactive pizzeria layout with camera presets, wall visibility controls and equipment inspection.”; its clip, in a dark interface, shows the same plan captioned “Show or hide walls and the PVC curtain”, “Search equipment and inspect dimensions and sources” and “Entrance view with four animated menu screens”. The third asks “Which version would you prefer for reviewing a real layout: Gemini 4 or Codex 6.1 Sol (High)?”; asked which one got the dimensions right without fixes, the author replied “Both of them. Later (most likely on another project), I’ll add another version by Claude”. The Argon page, “Pizza / TT426 — Interactive 3D Tactical Diorama & Digital Twin” (“Exact 2D PDF plan geometry (mm) · 57 records · 4 menu screens · Tactical isometric diorama”), draws the model with WebGL in one HTML file of about 151 KB, notes a 0.21 m² gap between the plan’s total area and the sum of its rooms, lists “8 AGREED 3D MODEL MODIFICATIONS” and offers the PDF plan. The Sol page, “Pizza / TT426 · 3D plan” (“Preliminary layout”, 13/10/2026), opens in Russian with an English switch, lists 57 equipment items and notes “Plan geometry from the PDF; heights and materials are illustrative.”; it is a bundled app that includes Three.js r186.

A reply details the steps: images made in ChatGPT, modelled from the images with “GPT-5.6 Sol + Blender MCP”, seamless textures and normal and roughness maps generated procedurally by Codex, several rounds of corrections, gaps closed by hand and a GLB export, “ここまで1時間かからず” (all in under an hour). The splat environment and its weather simulation come from the studio’s earlier work.

Skyward Pagoda: a floating voxel archipelago around a vermilion pagoda, built zero-shot in 33 minutes in Antigravity, sound included

The author writes “Gemini 4 Argon - An expansive multi island Voxel Pagoda…” and “This one took 33 minutes to build in Antigravity.. and yes the audio was generated purely in code too!”, contrasting it with “The one google showcased”, for which “an iterative loop was used where agents critiqued the output over and over”. The clip flies over floating voxel islands around a five-tier vermilion pagoda (“FIVE-TIER SANCTUARY PAGODA”), with waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, sakura groves, torii gates, rope bridges and a red arched bridge over a pond, passes under an island hung with glowing roots (“BIOLUMINESCENT ROOT CAVERNS · NIGHT SKY”) and shows the archipelago at night, by day and at dusk. Asked how detailed the prompt was and how many iterations it took, the author replied “Zero shot ! Will share the prompt and workflow very soon!” and “And yes it was very detailed..”; asked whether the audio was the same pass or a separate build, the author answered “Same pass!”, and that afternoon the author linked the live page. The live page, “天空の塔 · Skyward Pagoda”, opens on the “SANCTUARY ARCHIPELAGO” with five times of day (“DAWN” to “NIGHT”), a list of places and a wander mode; it loads one bundled script and no image, model or sound files.

Kestrel K-1: a humanoid robot built in Three.js and Blender over about 30 hours, with exploded, section and thermal views, named poses and a hand mode
Bee (@thtbee_), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “Gemini 4 Argon - A futuristic humanoid 3D robot..”, “Built with Three.js & Blender..” and “This took around 30hrs of iteration and direction.. Initially, I only planned to build a robotic hand. When I saw how good it was.. I expanded the scope to build a full interactive robot!”, adding “I asked it to add some premade poses (it even added a sassy one ;)”. The clip shows the white humanoid in close-up, its hand alone, an exploded view with labelled parts, a glass cranium with blue internals, a thermal view, poses named on screen (“CONTRAPPOSTO”, “HANDS ON HIPS”, “CROUCH”, “PINCH”) and the hand in the Ember livery making a horns gesture labelled “ROCK”. Asked for the prompt, the author replied “Yup yup very soon I’m readying everything.. i will put it here..” with the repository link; asked how Argon compares with other models, the author wrote “It can do pretty much everything other frontier models can.. (Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1, Astra..)” and “But it needs direction and some iteration to get the polish and result other models especially Opus 5.5 could pull of at once..” The live page, “KESTREL K-1 // by thtbee_”, has eight views (“STUDIO”, “GLASS”, “EXPLODE”, “POWER”, “SIGNAL”, “THERMAL”, “SECTION” and “DRAWING”), four liveries, a body and a hand mode, a walk cycle, named poses and a bill of materials that lists “14,283” parts and “70 DOF”. The repository folder holds the production build: one bundled script and four GLB models, three of whose headers name Blender’s glTF exporter (the fourth, the hand shells, was packed with glTF-Transform); the TypeScript source and Blender files are not included, and the repository README says “The full workflow and every prompt used to make each demo will be shared here soon.” The robot exists only as this browser model; the post does not mention a physical robot or a physics simulator.

Argon 18 Nitrogen Pro: a procedural 3D road-bike exhibit with studio lighting, annotated parts and a wind tunnel, made with a single prompt
Tim Messerschmidt (@SeraAndroid), X, 2026-10-13
The author works at Google: the X profile reads “Agents & Developer Experience Ecosystems Lead EMEA at Google.”, and Google’s own X post of 2026-09-21 introduces “Tim, DevRel Ecosystems Lead EMEA” among “members of our team”. The post, which quotes a video post by Google DeepMind, reads “I make no secret that I love cycling. So when I saw the name Gemini 4 Argon, I knew exactly what I had to build.” and “An Argon 18 Nitrogen Pro demo, made with a single prompt”, ending “Can’t wait to see what you build with Gemini!”; a reply offers “Source code and the prompt”. The clip turns around a black road bike with tan-wall tyres and deep “SCOPE” rims on a dark stage, under a “NITROGEN PRO” header with view tabs (“3/4 Gallery” to “Dropped Stays”), numbered markers, a note on the “Aurora Charcoal & Holographic Foil” finish and panels for the light, an “AERODYNAMIC WINDTUNNEL” and the configuration. The live page, “Argon 18 Nitrogen Pro — Interactive 3D Museum & Windtunnel Exhibition”, has five lighting presets, six camera views, seven numbered hotspots, a wheel-speed slider that also turns the drivetrain and, on W, a wind tunnel with streamlines and a telemetry panel. The repository README says the geometry and textures are generated in code, with no external model or image files, and its PROMPT.md asks for the prompt to be given “along with 3–5 reference studio photos of the target bicycle”; the posts do not say which photos were used. The repository was created on 2026-10-09, four days before the public rollout; neither it nor the prompt names a model.

The post reads “space battleship by Gemini Argon”, “with a fleet of defending ships” and “made in @threejs”, quoting the author’s mechanism post (AETHER-X). The clip shows Cursor previewing “UNSC / SOVEREIGN-IX // 4.2KM KINETIC CARRIER DREADNOUGHT” (“MOTHERSHIP FLEET CARRIER, 320 AUTONOMOUS PATROL STRIKE CRAFT, 8 CIWS SPONSONS & 6 PLANETARY THRUSTERS”): a blocky white, orange and blue warship among streaks of small craft against a starfield, close passes along its hull, and the ship beside a ringed blue planet; the model menu reads “Gemini 4 Argon”. The page is sovereign-dreadnought.html in the repository the author linked under the mechanism post; it has views from “3/4 MOTHERSHIP & SWARM” to “6 STERN VECTOR NOZZLES”, four modes (“01 // SLEEK CRUISE” to “04 // FULL OVERDRIVE”) and sliders for the armour, a cutaway and the swarm’s sortie speed; it is one HTML file that loads Three.js 0.164.1 and runs when opened locally, but the repository has no live page.

The author writes “Tried with Gemini 4 Argon”, “Built this with simple 3 line prompt” and “It took around 30 minutes”, links the live page and asks readers to open it on a desktop. The post’s image shows the page, “KAZE-NO-TANI // 3D SAKURA ENGINE” (“Grand Cascading Mountain River, Multi-Shade Emerald Canopy & Falling Cherry Blossoms”): a river running under a red arched bridge between pink cherry trees and green trees in a canyon, a waterfall behind, petals in the air, readouts of “FPS 24” and “PETALS 2,800”, sliders for wind, petals, waterfall, greenery and light, and camera and atmosphere presets such as “Sakura Bridge”, “Golden Romance” and “Moonlit Sanctuary”. The live page, “Kaze-no-Tani — Grand 3D Mountain River & Sakura Landscape Engine”, runs the same scene; it is a single HTML file with no libraries, whose header comment reads “HYBRID 3D RAYMARCHING + BOTANICAL PARTICLE & ARCHITECTURE ENGINE”, identical to the repository’s index.html and also served on GitHub Pages. The first commit is titled “Its Argon babes”; a README added that evening speaks of a “four line prompt” and about 25 minutes, against the post’s three lines and 30 minutes. The prompt itself is not published.

Chrono Analogue // System 1974: a playable 3D modular synthesiser and direct-drive turntable studio modelled in headless Blender, with a two-minute four-part showcase
Emily (@IamEmily2050), X, 2026-10-14
The post opens “Gemini 4 Argon high / Antigravity” and gives the whole prompt, which begins “Build a complete, photorealistic, playable 3D 1974 modular analogue synthesiser and direct-drive 180g vinyl turntable studio” and asks the model to “direct and integrate the project”, with “headless Blender 5.2 Python (bpy) for editable bevelled 3D assets”, Nano Banana and Python for 16 surface textures, Three.js for interaction, the Web Audio API for sound and FFmpeg for a two-minute 1080p60 showcase video of four symphonies. The two-minute clip plays the studio: a walnut cabinet with four module bays (from “VCO BANK · DUAL OSCILLATOR” to “MODULATION LFO & BBD DELAY”), coloured patch cables and a keyboard, beside a turntable and an LP sleeve marked “CHRONO ANALOGUE LABS”, with captions for each movement from “MOVEMENT I OF IV · BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY NO. 5” as cables are re-patched, knobs turn and the record spins. A reply links the repository; asked for tips on writing so detailed a prompt, the author replied “Write a simple prompt with your idea then use) /grill me) inside Antigravity to help you improve the prompt.” The repository README says the studio was “directed, engineered, verified, and rendered end-to-end by” Gemini 4 Argon in Google Antigravity; the repository holds the Blender source scenes and the bpy scripts that build them, the exported GLB models, 16 textures, the Three.js and Web Audio studio, the showcase video, the prompt in four languages with the original five-turn session, and the verification evidence. There is no live page; the README runs the studio from a local server.

Medieval castles that Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra designed for themselves, with coats of arms and banners
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-09-24
The author writes “I asked Claude Opus 5.5 and ChatGPT-6 Astra to create their own medieval castles: choose the architecture, design a coat of arms, and fly their own banners” and “Opus built an entire kingdom: red rooftops, a moat, a village, and surrounding mountains. Astra went with a pale stone island citadel, emerald banners, and an eight-pointed star”, with “Opus on the left - $11.15. Astra on the right - an estimated $7.07 at API rates, including revisions”. The clip sets the two pages side by side, labelled “Claude Opus 5.5” (“11.15$”) and “ChatGPT-6 Astra” (“7.07$”): “The Kingdom of Opus”, a castle with red roofs inside a moat, with a village and mountains and a panel on its arms, and “ASTRA”, a pale stone citadel with dark conical roofs and green banners on a rocky island; both are shown from above, in their courtyards, with guards on the walls, and at dusk and night. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Build your own medieval kingdom.” and goes on “Your kingdom represents Claude Opus 5.5.”; another reply links the Opus version as a Claude artifact. The same author’s earlier comparisons include the pirate ships.

Taihe Yunque: a voxel palace complex of 15 halls, towers and a pagoda on a central axis, built one-shot in Antigravity during a staged rollout before the release
Leo (@leo114119), X, 2026-10-10
Three days before the public release, the author posts 「Gemini 4 Argon 1010 晚灰测展示：」 (“Gemini 4 Argon, 10/10 evening staged-rollout test showcase:”), 「账号为JIO的18个月Pro，以下内容均为One-shot模式」 (“the account is an 18-month Jio Pro; everything below is in one-shot mode”) and 「中国古典建筑-太和云阙，这效果相当棒啊」 (“Chinese classical architecture, Taihe Yunque; the result is really great”). The 10 s clip circles a walled voxel palace on a green base under a red-orange sky: halls with gold, green and blue tiered roofs, a tall pagoda at the back, corner towers, white stone bridges over a moat and trees with orange leaves, under the caption 「太和云阙」 and 「营造法式 · 体素古建」 (“Yingzao Fashi · voxel ancient architecture”). The author posted the link in the thread; asked whether it was made on Gemini web or in Antigravity, the author replied “antigravity with gemini 3.8 flash exp-a”, and asked the next day whether this was simply 3.8 Flash, answered 「3.8 flash你试试看能不能做出这个效果。。。」 (“try 3.8 Flash and see whether it can make this…”). The live page, “太和云阙 · 3D体素中国古典建筑群” (“Taihe Yunque · 3D voxel complex of classical Chinese architecture”), on the host gemini-4-argon.duckdns.org, reads 「中轴三进院落 · 十五座殿阁塔楼 · 飞檐斗拱琉璃盛景」 (“a central axis with three courtyards · fifteen halls, pavilions and towers · flying eaves, bracket sets and glazed tiles”), counts 15 buildings and 169,267 rendered voxels, and offers six viewpoints, four times of day and an orbit tour; it is one file with Three.js r170 bundled in. Google has not said which model served the “exp-a” label; the Argon attribution is the author’s.

GEM-90: a 3D drum machine that gains or loses drum channels, steps and knob rows as you stretch it, with the pattern and sound changing to match
Kaloyan Kolev (@kaloyaan), X, 2026-10-13
The author, who works at Google Creative Lab, part of Google, the model’s developer (profile: “creative technologist at google creative lab”), writes “used gemini 4 argon to make the stretchy drum machine of my dreams” and “as you resize it, the pattern + sound change to match!” The clip shows a cream drum machine with orange knobs and orange handles on its top and sides; dragging the handles stretches it into a wide machine with many drum channels, 32 step keys and a scope display, then squeezes it into a single narrow column, and the camera moves in on the master section with “START”, “< PTN”, “PTN >”, “AI JAM” and “FILL” buttons. Ten minutes later the author wrote “made a brief cameo in this lovely launch video thanks to @alexanderchen !!”, linking Sundar Pichai’s Gemini 4 Argon launch post, whose montage shows the wide drum machine for a moment; the next day, asked whether it was online, the author replied “you can try it out here” with the live page. The live page, “GEM-90 Procedural Expandable 3D Drum Machine”, opens on the machine with eleven drum channels from “BASS DRUM” to “RIDE CYM” and 16 step keys; its faceplate reads “KALOYAN KOLEV + GEMINI 4 ARGON”, and its script holds 12 preset patterns from “MINIMAL POCKET” to “PEAK HOUR RAVE” and loads Three.js r184 and no sound files. The page is served from GitHub Pages, but its repository is not public.

ARGON AR-25: a Formula 1 car in a Three.js studio, with camera presets, suspension views and a 64-sample still
Sahil Panhotra | Indie Builder (@SahilPanhotra), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “Gemini 4 argon high cooked so hard with this generation in threejs”, with four stills of a silver and orange car marked “ARGON” in a dark studio: side, rear, three-quarter front and a close-up of the front suspension. When a reader called it an image, the author replied “its not image bro its 3d build by argon” and “posting link to it soon”; asked where the author was trying it, the answer was “i have ultra sub” and “so did it on agy cli”, linking a post of the day before in which the author wrote “Logan himself just gifted me a Google AI Ultra subscription”. Thirty-seven minutes after the first post the author wrote “WTF Gemini 4 Argon made this F1 car in Three.js”, “look at the front wing, suspension, rear diffuser and even the reflections on the body” and “some of the geometry is still slightly off, especially around the front wing”, with the link; that clip circles the car from the front wing to the cockpit, halo and sidepods and closes in on the tyres. Asked how long it took, the author replied “like max 1-2 hours i don’t actually remember the time coz i made it last night then continued a bit in the morning”, and added “its one shot too (even this showreel video is made using it ) (that required another prompt)”. The live page, “ARGON AR-25 // Formula 1 Studio Concept” (“GROUND-EFFECT FORMULA 1 STUDIO SPECIFICATION”), has the views “3/4 Hero”, “Side”, “Front”, “Rear 3/4”, “Rear”, “Front Susp” and “Rear Susp”, orbit, pan and zoom, and an “HQ Still” button that accumulates 64 samples (“STUDIO STILL · 64/64 SAMPLES”).

Amberbrook Junction: an HO-scale tabletop railway town whose steam train stops at the station, with bridges over a river and a night mode, one-shot during a staged rollout before the release
Leo (@leo114119), X, 2026-10-10
Three days before the public release and three minutes after the voxel palace (M375), the author posts 「Gemini 4 Argon 1010 晚灰测展示：」 (“Gemini 4 Argon, 10/10 evening staged-rollout test showcase:”), 「账号为JIO的18个月Pro，以下内容均为One-shot模式」 (“the account is an 18-month Jio Pro; everything below is in one-shot mode”), 「铁路小镇-微缩铁路小镇展示」 (“railway town: a miniature railway town showcase”) and 「这感觉至少有opus 5 的水平啊，到不到 5.5 不好说」 (“this feels at least at the level of Opus 5; whether it reaches 5.5 is hard to say”). The 10 s clip circles a tabletop town on a wooden base, under a plate reading “HO 1:87”, 「琥珀溪微缩铁路镇」 (“Amberbrook miniature railway town”) and “AMBERBROOK JUNCTION · HANDCRAFTED TABLETOP DIORAMA”: red- and grey-roofed houses, a clock tower and a square with a fountain inside an oval track, a turquoise river under three bridges, one of them a red truss, a water tower, autumn trees and a steam locomotive pulling red carriages round the loop. The author posted the link a second later; told the next day by a reader that it fell a little short of what Opus 5.5 makes, the author replied 「能和opus 5.5 放一起，已经很强了」 (“to be put alongside Opus 5.5 is already very strong”). The live page, “琥珀溪微缩铁路镇 · Amberbrook Miniature Railway”, on the host gemini-4-argon.duckdns.org, runs the same diorama: by its status line the train slows into Amberbrook station, waits out a countdown and pulls away towards the stone arch bridge, and buttons pause it, set its speed, switch between dusk and night (with lit windows, street lamps and a headlight) and reset the view; it is one file with Three.js r170 bundled in. In a reply under the palace post the author gave the Antigravity label of this staged rollout as “gemini 3.8 flash exp-a”; Google has not said which model served that label, and the Argon attribution is the author’s.

Three minutes after the railway town (M403), in the same series as the voxel palace (M375), the author posts 「Gemini 4 Argon 1010 晚灰测展示：」 (“Gemini 4 Argon, 10/10 evening staged-rollout test showcase:”), 「账号为JIO的18个月Pro，以下内容均为One-shot模式」 (“the account is an 18-month Jio Pro; everything below is in one-shot mode”), 「雨夜便利店-3D 模型展示」 (“rainy-night convenience store: a 3D model showcase”) and 「日漫风十足啊，这个我个人最喜欢」 (“very much in the style of Japanese anime; this one is my personal favourite”). The 10 s clip circles the store on a square black base in heavy rain at night: “SORA MART” signs glowing over the glass front and its lit shelves, utility poles and street lamps, a bicycle by the guardrails, vending machines and bins, crossings and parking bays on the wet road, puddles rippling under the drops, a traffic light and a dark neighbouring building with a red sign. The author posted the link a second later. The live page, “雨夜空マート街角微缩景观 · SORA MART Rainy Night Diorama”, also on gemini-4-argon.duckdns.org, shows the scene with no on-screen controls, to orbit and zoom; up close the fascia reads 「空マート · 24時間営業 · 酒 · たばこ · ATM」 (“Sora Mart · open 24 hours · alcohol · tobacco · ATM”), and the store has shelves and a magazine rack inside and two bicycles, a yield sign and yellow tactile paving outside. It is one HTML file that loads Three.js 0.160.0 with a bloom pass and draws its signs and textures in code; it loads no model or image files.

Later the same evening, in the series that began with the voxel palace (M375), the author posts 「Gemini 4 Argon 1010 晚灰测展示：」 (“Gemini 4 Argon, 10/10 evening staged-rollout test showcase:”), 「账号为JIO的18个月Pro」 (“the account is an 18-month Jio Pro”), 「灰度模型为 Gemini 3.8 flash-exp-a」 (“the staged-rollout model is Gemini 3.8 flash-exp-a”), 「蓝图线稿 3D 航空母舰」 (“blueprint line-art 3D aircraft carrier”) and 「这个也有点高级。。。。」 (“this one is rather advanced too….”). The 10 s clip turns the camera around a glowing blue drawing of the carrier on a dark grid, its azimuth readout falling from “225.5°” to “142.1°” at an elevation of “30.0°”, under the header “CVN-68 NIMITZ-CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER” (“3D BLUEPRINT WIREFRAME & LOW-POLY FLAT-SHADED SCHEMATIC”), with jets parked on the deck, a helicopter hovering beside the hull, a fan of wake arrows and labels such as “LATTICE MAST & ROTATING RADAR”, “FIGHTER TAKEOFF (FULL AFTERBURNER)”, “MH-60R HELO HOVERING OPS” and “STYLIZED KELVIN WAKE”. The author posted the link in the thread. The live page, “CVN-68 蓝图线稿 3D 航空母舰 | Blueprint Isometric Schematic”, also on gemini-4-argon.duckdns.org, shows the drawing “DWG NO.

Japanese Tea Garden Bench: the same voxel tea-garden prompt for 58 models in the author’s own agent harness, every garden live, with Gemini 4 Argon the latest
Mooncast Productions (@MooncastOnline), X, 2026-08-13
The author announced “New benchmark!” with a link to the Japanese Tea Garden Bench; its writeup, signed by Jason Hughes and dated 13 August 2026, says “This is not the first benchmark like this, but this one is mine.” The page gives every model one prompt, which begins “An intricately detailed 3D voxel art masterpiece of a traditional Japanese tea garden, captured in threejs using an orbit camera slowly rotating with mouse controls.”, and says “Each model was asked to build an interactive browser experience using the Beast development harness at medium effort.” The author posted the gardens as they were added, among them GPT-6 Astra Pro on 2026-09-05 (“Beautiful and spare, similar aesthetic to 5.6 Sol, but much nicer”) and Claude Opus 5.5 on 2026-09-23 (“Stepping from Opus 5 -> 5.5 feels like a different model entirely.”). On 2026-09-06 the author wrote “My Beast harness gained vision capabilities about two weeks ago”, and on 2026-10-05 that the gardens made “before September 2nd or so were entirely blind, because image inputs hadn’t been added to my harness until then”, and began re-running the older ones; the page labels each garden “Image Tools” or “No Image Tools”. On 2026-10-13 the author posted “Japanese Tea Garden Bench - Gemini 4 Argon” with “Insane level of detail, quick outputs.” and “Easily one of the best outputs I’ve seen.”; that clip circles Argon’s garden, a square voxel plot on a dark ground with cherry trees shedding petals, raked pale gravel with mossy rocks and a stone lantern, a tea house with a dark tiled roof on a wooden deck, a woven fence with bamboo, stepping stones and a small pond. The page now holds 58 models (by its family filter, 8 Claude, 8 GPT and 3 Gemini models among them) and opens each garden live; Argon’s, “ROJI & KARESANSUI” (“Traditional Japanese Tea Garden Voxel Diorama”), counts “37,148 voxels” and has “Auto-Orbit: On”, “Golden Morning” and “Reset View” buttons, and its card gives the cost as “$0.76”. The page assigns no scores; the comments are the author’s.

NVIDIA’s Omniverse Labs article says Johns “used Astra to assemble publicly available NASA assets—555 exterior meshes and seven interior modules—into an OpenUSD model of the International Space Station”, that “Blender supported conversion and assembly” while ovrtx, ovstage and ovstream “provided rendering, scene runtime, and streaming for a custom web interface with ISS telemetry”, and that “The initial prompt produced the application; a second corrected Earth in the scene.” The screenshot, from NVIDIA Omniverse’s post, shows the “International Space Station” page with live video of the station over Earth, buttons for modules such as Cupola, Destiny, Harmony, Columbus and Kibō, telemetry readings and an orbital track. No public link to the application is given.

Both models drove Blender through the Higgsfield Blender plugin and hooked with Higgsfield MCP, where it can use Nano Banana Pro for images, Tripo for 3D models and more.” and “Both ran on max effort.” The author reports “Opus 5.5: 73 min, 218k output tokens, $27.3in API terms. Working doors, spinning wheels, the strike lands.” and “GPT-6 Astra: 88 min, 136k output tokens, $21.3 in API terms. Skipped the generators and built all 517 objects itself.” A reply adds “GPT-6 chose to generate nothing. Zero images, zero meshes.” and “Opus 5.5 spent $3.6 on generations total, and honestly the result just looks better.” The clip, with panels labelled Higgsfield Claude Opus 5.5 and Higgsfield GPT-6 Astra, shows both rainy night squares with a clock tower and a gull-winged car; lightning strikes the Opus car, and the Astra build is replayed object by object with captions such as “506 / 591 PULSE_05”.

Two hours later a second post said “Let’s test with a Gauntlet Loop”, with a prompt (shown as an image) that splits the work among Fable 5.1 Max subagents and puts each piece through a loop with a separate visual critic against the reference; the result followed with “Gauntlet Loop are genuinely insane” and “Why do we even need image to 3D models if LLMs can do it too?”, and a cost post gave “the total was around $733.56 (Fable 5.1)”, its image timing the loop at 6 h 46 min against 40 min for the first render, and added “So yeah, 3D gen models are still useful”. On 2026-09-06 the author posted “GPT-6 Astra working for more than 5 hours in Blender” and “Much cheaper than Fable 5.1, and in my opinion the 3D model is also better”, with an image of the reference, the GPT-6 Astra model (about $250) and the Fable 5.1 model (about $700).

In the middle of the lake, an abandoned house. Around the lake, a flower-filled French village. Paths connecting the important points.” The author reports “Luna Light: 22 min”, “Sol Light: 29 min” and “Astra Light: 35 min”; Luna’s result “is barely usable”, Sol’s is a “Huge step up”, and “Even on Light, Astra managed to build a dense, coherent environment with a much better use of space and a more complete overall composition.” The Luna Light image shows a tilted green square with a few scattered shapes on it. The Sol Light clip, titled Lac des Fleurs, walks around a lake with a grey house in the middle reached by a wooden bridge; the Astra Light clip, titled Clairval, walks through a larger village of pastel houses with flower beds, a fountain and benches, past a dark house standing in the lake. A reply explains “Astra consumes a lot of power, so I figured I might as well try it out over a week by testing it like Sol in Light mode.”

It then shows the inputs, a painted concept of the cathedral at sunset with an aerial photo and a gargoyle’s-eye view (“CONCEPT REFERENCE — INPUT, NOT A RESULT”), and the prompt under “THE TASK — THIS EXACT TEXT IS THE PROMPT”, which begins “Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris in Blender - specifically the STYLIZED STORYBOOK VERSION as it appears in the famous 1990s hand-drawn animated musical about the hunchbacked bell-ringer, NOT the photoreal cathedral.” To a reader who prefers the shader Opus 5.5 uses, the author replies “But it lacks details, so sad”.

Alix Ollivier (@aollivier82), X, 2026-07-11
In July the author wrote “Just asked Sol to download Blender, set up the MCP, and make me a realistic bat, and then make a video showcasing how it made it” and “We’ve hit a new era with Sol/Fable”; the 125-second clip shows the bat taking shape from primitives. In September the same request to Astra (“make a photorealistic bat in Blender, and it just kept going until I ran out of tokens”) drew about 3.8 million views; that clip shows a furred bat with membrane wings, sculpt passes and a final render. A reply cautions that “this method is super slow and you’d be better off using a diffusion model like Tripo or Meshy to make your model, then have Astra rig and animate it”.

A robot-dog companion and Daifuku, a pet of 1.2 million hairs, then the pet’s bath in UE5.8
KANA｜東京AI映像 (@KanaWorks_AI), X, 2026-10-04
The author writes 「Fable 5.5、ここまでやれるのか…」 (“Fable 5.5 can go this far…”) and that the robot dog’s animation, made with UniMate, was fine-tuned with Fable 5.5 into 「KANAの後ろをついて歩く相棒」 (“a companion that walks behind KANA”). ChatGPT’s Dots character 「大福くん」 (Daifuku) became 「毛120万本のふわふわペット」 (“a fluffy pet of 1.2 million hairs”) that flies up trailing a rainbow when the player stops, and 「モーションもVFXも全部プロシージャル。」 (“the motion and the VFX are all procedural”). The post’s grooming tips include tufts placed by Poisson disc 0.38 cm apart and laid flat about 62° at the root, and it warns that neighbouring tufts flowing in opposite directions cause uneven shading in UE. A reply says “This one was made with Fable 5.5.” The clip shows a rabbit character in a yellow jacket crossing a rainy neon plaza with a robot dog at heel, while a yellow ball of fur flies after them with a rainbow trail. Follow-ups show the fur grown overnight (「なにせ120万本。」, “after all, 1.2 million of them”), a one-minute bath of shower, shampoo, foam, rinse, shake and hair dryer, 「全部ゲーム内のリアルタイム描画（UE5.8）です」 (“all rendered in real time in the game, UE5.8”), with ten techniques such as a shared 32×32 octahedral map of wetness and foam and foam clumps made in Blender, and the pet trimmed shorter than expected. The same game world appears in M300; the author’s earlier cases are M144 and M172.

An informant NPC in UE5.8 with MetaHuman, whose conversation plays like a film scene
KANA｜東京AI映像 (@KanaWorks_AI), X, 2026-10-08
The author writes 「話しかけると、映画みたいに会話が始まる。」 (“talk to her and a conversation starts like in a film”) and that character creation, code and staging were 「ほぼ全部AIエージェント（Claude Opus 5.5）に実装させています」 (“almost all implemented by an AI agent (Claude Opus 5.5)”); the human only said what was wanted and criticised the result in play. The post lists the steps: face and outfit concepts from GPT Image, made 3D with a 3D generator and turned into a MetaHuman with a facial rig, the outfit rebuilt in Python to fit the body; a 50 mm close-up with cinemascope bars when the player talks to her, city sound lowered by 12 dB and the voice raised by 4 dB; a voice from Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS, with lip sync and expressions generated from the audio by MetaHuman Animator; a dialogue UI specified after the agent studied existing AAA games; and fixes for hair LOD, a shaking button prompt and lost spaces in the subtitles. The clip shows the informant, a woman in a white top before a neon-lit wall, talking in close-up with subtitles between black bars, then the player’s rabbit character walking on through a neon alley with the robot dog and the yellow pet of M299.

The Office and SpongeBob as Three.js web apps, with a card-pack game
Sotiris Kaniras (@itssotsot), X, 2026-09-13
Sotiris Kaniras writes “Everything was made with Astra. I didn’t write a single line of code. I didn’t render a single 3D model.” and notes that “only the first one is an actual game. The other two are just three.js and Blender web apps.” The first is a card-pack collection; the other two are a SpongeBob neighborhood and a walkable recreation of The Office, and the three images show the neighborhood, the office reception and the card-pack room in that order. The two web apps are unofficial fan works whose repositories are listed as the code; the card-pack game’s repository is under Links.

Tidewater: an island fishing game on native WebGPU, with its source
Dan Greenheck (@dangreenheck), X, 2026-09-24
Dan Greenheck writes “Turned my coastal demo into a cozy fishing game” and ends “Wanted to see how far I could take Opus 5.5. Didn’t really find the limits to be honest.” The clip moves through the pier and beach, casting from the shore and the boat, the wheelhouse, a boat run to the village jetty and the pier at night. The author says “It’s also now using native WebGPU to give the AI more control.” An optimization pass took the game “from 60FPS to 100FPS”, which the author says the new features then mostly used up; these are the author’s figures. The repository runs the game on its own WebGPU and WGSL renderer and credits its sounds, scanned props and vendor characters to third-party sources under their own licenses.

Shikhar writes “Third iteration with Opus 5.5 medium” and says it “turned blender, image-gen, and three.js into this beauty, which runs on your browser.” The clip follows a Spider-Man-style hero swinging between skyscrapers, over street traffic and across a large park, in two suits, with a minimap in the corner. About six hours later the author replied “here’s the repo with the entire source code and assets”, linking the repository; no playable link is shared, and the earlier iterations are not attached. It is an unofficial fan project; the same author’s Blender test with Astra is listed as one-shot game assets.

The author writes “我刚才用 Claude Opus 5.5 做的鹈鹕骑自行车，有点逆天了” (translated: the pelican riding a bicycle that I just made with Claude Opus 5.5 is a bit unbelievable) and links the game. A reply adds two more, “下面内容皆使用 Claude opus 5.5 一句话提示词生成” (translated: all of the following were generated by Claude Opus 5.5 from one-sentence prompts): a QQ Speed racing game and the Crossfire Transport Ship map. Another posts the three prompts as images, noting “我从头至尾只说过一句话” (translated: from start to finish I said only one sentence), and a quote post the next day releases the code: “很多人要代码，我开源了” (translated: many people asked for the code, so I open-sourced it). The repository README states Claude Code with a 1M context at xhigh reasoning, one session per game and no human edits to the code; these process claims are the author’s. The racing page calls itself “QQ飞车同人还原” (a QQ Speed fan recreation). The four images show the pelican game’s title screen, the pelican riding past low-poly trees and along the coast at sunset, and its settings panel (time of day, clouds, waves, helmet, scarf, generative music).

Anshu writes “dude GPT-6 Astra is some kind of turbo-AGI machine god for 3D games. It one-shot this in 45 minutes for hardly a couple % of my quota” and “The trick is image gen.” A reply gives the method: connect Codex to Blender MCP, paste in the game concept and “Tell Astra to use the Codex image gen skill to generate concept images of the target art style, then iterate until in-game screenshots look as close as possible to those, at 60fps”; Astra “Modeled every asset in Blender. Used image gen to generate textures for the meshes.” Another adds “It’s three.js in browser, no other dependencies and no external assets”. Two days later an overnight run worked “all night on weather effects, Blender modeling, and tons of little details.” On 2026-09-07 the author wrote “I turned my Astra game into a skill! It’s called Dream Loop”, with the skill, a demo and its prompt in a reply; an optimized version ran its demo “in 25 minutes, for 7% quota on ChatGPT Plus”, with GPT-5.6 Luna orchestrating Astra subagents.

ZER0-G: an anti-gravity racer in the spirit of F-Zero X, rebuilt in two days and open-sourced

The author writes “Two days. That’s how long it took me to rebuild F-Zero X, my favourite N64 game as a kid.” and “I played, Claude Code built, my workflows made the art, animations and vfx. Then I lost hours just racing it.” A reply lists “30 machines on the grid, a pipe you drive on the ceiling of, a drum you can fall off, MEGA NITRO when you hold Shift, online races with whoever is in” and links the source, and another says “The 18 machines began as Nano Banana concepts, then Tripo P2 made them 3D. Music: ElevenLabs and Sonilo.” and “13 rounds of me playing and sending notes”. The clip races hover machines through a neon city, along a tube and over ramps at more than 1,000 km/h, shows the machine select screen with pilots and stats, and starts a grid of 30 machines. The game runs in Project 0, a shared 3D city whose players build games with their own agents, as lot #383; a later post adds that players can “connect your Claude/Codex and vibecode your drive and compete with others”, and on 2026-10-11 the author reported “1000+ plays”.

Six browser works in five days with Claude Code and Claude Opus 5.5, each in its own MIT repository
たぬ (tanuu5), YouTube, 2026-10-08
This case is a PV and an article that present six separate works. The PV went up half an hour before the article, in which the author writes 「2026年10月3日から10月7日までの5日間に、Claude Code（Claude Opus 5.5）でブラウザで動く作品を6本作り、GitHub で公開しました。」 (“in the five days from 3 to 7 October 2026 I made six works that run in the browser with Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) and published them on GitHub”) and 「1本目の Lantern Night は、作り始めてから公開まで1時間15分でした。」 (“the first, Lantern Night, took 1 hour 15 minutes from the start of work to release”). The six are Lantern Night, a Halloween scene in which the player, as a will-o’-the-wisp, lights 13 pumpkins by a graveyard; Trailscape, which turns a GPX walk or run into a 3D diorama and replays it at the recorded times; AQUA BLUE, an underwater game of photographing sea life; 「ソファーがある。」 (“There is a sofa.”), a walk through endless yellow rooms; 「わすれもの駅」 (“Lost-property station”), in which a guide robot returns seven lost items in an empty station; and 「アストラのじゃがいも畑」 (“Astra’s potato farm”), a first-person farming game in a blocky world whose robot is named Astra (a game character, not GPT-6 Astra). The article says 「PV の撮影・編集・音楽も Opus 5.5 がコードで作っています」 (“Opus 5.5 also made the PV’s camera work, editing and music in code”), and that to save tokens 「開発用のアセットをskillsで作りながら開発しました」 (“I developed while building development assets as skills”). The PV opens on a timeline of the five days and then shows each work: pumpkins and ghosts in a graveyard, a glowing route over a 3D city map, a diver among rays and ruins, yellow rooms with a red sofa, a white robot in a station and a voxel island farm. Each repository README credits “Claude Code × Claude Opus 5.5”, three at XHIGH and three at MAX; the README of the station game says three pictures in the station were made by the author with ChatGPT.

Crown of Acre: 1191, a Third-Crusade battle game in Three.js in which you ride a warhorse, fight on foot and command a retinue, from a near one-shot prompt
oikk01 (u/oikk01), Reddit, 2026-10-13
The post, titled “example near one-shot browser game with argon”, says “I wanted to share this as an example of a near one-shot 3D browser game output using Argon.” and “Before building the game, I asked Gemini to help me write a detailed prompt that encouraged a multi-agent workflow with build, grade (independent visual and gameplay critics), and improve loops.” The author adds that “The entire 3D game—including the medieval knight and warhorse models, mounted and dismounted combat, companion squad commands, fortifications, and procedural audio—was generated and playable from the very first prompt” and “I only used a short second prompt afterward to bind and lock the camera behind the player so it turns smoothly with character movement.”, and writes “I am not a coder at all”. The post has no image or video. After a commenter wrote “It doesn’t scale”, the author replied “I only opened it on desktop.” and “This is not a finished game and I don’t really plan on seeing it through.” The live page, “CROWN OF ACRE: 1191” (“Third-Crusade Mounted & Foot Tactical Combat • Lead Your Warhorse & Elite Retinue”), opens on a title screen with the controls and a “RIDE INTO BATTLE” button; the battle starts with “SIR BALDWIN OF IBELIN” mounted on a destrier among crusader knights, the objective “I. Shatter the Saracen Vanguard” and retinue orders (“Wedge Follow”, “Charge Target”, “Shield Wall” and “Hunt Archers”). The repository holds the game as JavaScript modules (knight, warhorse, army units, battlefield, fortifications, procedural textures and sound) with a bundled Three.js build and six screenshots, in one commit made 16 minutes before the post.

Argon Tennis: arcade tennis in Three.js with a phone as the racket, webcam swings and 1v1 matches
Ammaar Reshi (@ammaar), X, 2026-10-13
The author, who leads product and design for Google AI Studio at Google, the model’s developer (profile: “Lead Product + Design @GoogleAIStudio”), opens a thread of six games with “Gemini 4 Argon is AMAZING at making games”, “It can create 3D assets from scratch and build amazing mechanics, all in one shot.” and “1/6 Argon Tennis: use your phone as a tennis racket”. The clip, filmed on a terrace, shows the author at a laptop saying in subtitled speech that the soundtrack is “generated using Lyria”, the dialog “generated using TTS Flash” and “It drew everything from scratch.”; the author then pairs a phone through a QR code and plays doubles with it on a grass court ringed by cartoon spectators under “Argon Tennis” signs (“EARLY SERVE”, “PERFECT • NET VOLLEY!”), and the clip opens and closes on a match against a second player, both holding phones (“I thought Philipp would be easier than the AI.”). The thread’s last post reads “All 6 games, full source code, and prompts are open in one repo so you can play, inspect, or remix them yourself” with the repository link; asked whether Argon got the phone’s swing detection right in one shot, the author replied “yes! Part of my prompt was I wanted forehands and backhands detected with the controller”, and that evening linked the game’s folder for a reader who asked for it. The post itself gives no link; the host of the other five games serves it as “Argon Tennis” at /argon-tennis/, with a match menu (“Club AI” against “You”; “Casual AI”, “Pro AI” or “1v1 Match”), “Webcam Motion” and “Pocket Racket” buttons and the music label “Lyria: Argon Club Plaza Breeze”. The repository folder holds the game as JavaScript modules (match engine, racket kinematics, motion controls, swing effects and audio), a phone companion page, a Python server for the “1v1 Multiplayer & Phone Motion-Controller Relay”, seven GLB models whose headers name “Khronos glTF Blender I/O v5.0.21”, 33 court textures, four music tracks and 29 spoken calls; the code labels the music “Lyria 3 Generated Soundtrack”. The Blender files or scripts behind the models are not included, and the repository holds no game-building prompts, although the thread says it does; readers replied that they could not find them.

In the second post of the author’s thread of six Gemini 4 Argon games (Argon Tennis is the first), the author writes “A cozy 3D island life sim built with a custom rolling-horizon vertex shader, day-to-night sky transitions, fishing, bug catching, crafting, and villager chats.” The clip, whose panel was then titled “Island Pocket & Miles”, follows an orange-haired character past a red-roofed cottage, a tulip bed and a river; a rabbit-eared neighbour, Bunnie, says “Tee-hee! Sitting by the flower river with a chocolate popsicle is peak island living, tee-hee!”, the player casts a fishing line, and choosing “Golden Hour” moves the clock from 1:20 PM to 5:42 PM. The next day Dominik Scholz (@dom_scholz) quoted the post to explain the z-fighting that made the cottage door flicker; the author replied “Updated and in the repo :)” with the live link and a screenshot of the door, and the repository’s third commit, “Fix z-fighting on Argon Valley cottage door, facade quoins, and layered props”, is dated 2026-10-14 18:29 UTC. The live page, “Argon Valley”, whose panel now reads “Argon Valley Pocket”, offers “Morning”, “Sunny Noon”, “Golden Hour” and “Starry Night”, a “ROLLING WORLD CURVE” slider and tools from a watering can to a bug net, and describes the game as “A cozy 3D island life-simulation game built in Three.js with curved-world shaders, tactile materials, Lyria 3 music, and Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS villager voices.” The folder holds the game as JavaScript modules (the world-curve engine, materials, props and furniture, characters, and effects, interface and audio) with four music tracks and twelve voice clips, and no image or model files.

Argon Airspace: 1950s air traffic control in which approach paths are drawn to colour-coded runways and helipads
Ammaar Reshi (@ammaar), X, 2026-10-13
In the last game post of the author’s thread of six Gemini 4 Argon games (Argon Tennis is the first), the author writes “Another tribute to a classic mobile game - 1950s air traffic control in 3D where you can drag live approach paths to color-coded runways with cabin PA callouts and big-band swing music.” The clip shows an airfield on red earth from above, with colour-coded runways, two helipads and a windsock, as paths are drawn from incoming planes and helicopters to their runway or pad; landings flash praise such as “BONZA!” and “YOU BEWDY!”, pilot cards such as “CAPT. HANK • CLIPPER HEAVY” pop up, and the landed counter climbs from 14 to 24. The live page, “Argon Airspace — 1950s Air Traffic Edition”, has three maps (“Outback”, “Paradise Beach” and “Alpine Snow”), a “+WAVE” button and a stewardess card (“WENDY • ARGON STEWARDESS”) with “Welcome aboard, guest! Drag any aircraft to its matching colored runway or helipad!”, and describes itself as made “with pre-generated Nano Banana textures, Lyria 3 Lounge Jazz, and Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS Stewardess Wendy & ATC radio chatter.” The folder holds the source modules and the bundle.js the page runs, 37 texture images (maps, pilot and stewardess portraits, aircraft sprites and interface boards) and 65 audio files.

Gutsy Karts 3D GP: a suburban kart racer with drifting, items, cups and a track editor, built in Antigravity from a specification written in the Gemini app
VibeCodeBro, YouTube, 2026-10-14
The 47-minute video, “Argon 4 Vibe Coding Mario Kart in Google AntiGravity”, opens in the Gemini app, where the author asks for a game “kind of like Mario Kart” and for a detailed prompt to give an AI agent in Antigravity, and Deep Research, with “Argon High” selected, drafts “Babylon.js Kart Game Prompt Specs”. At about 2:48 Antigravity shows “Gemini 4 Argon High”, the conversation “Browser 3D Arcade Kart Racer” in the project “gutsykarts” and the running start page, “GUTSY KARTS 3D GP”, with four drivers (“Rex Ironclad”, “Aero Vance”, “Nyx Veloce” and “Pip Spark”) and “START 3-LAP GRAND PRIX”; the agent’s summary notes “No git commits were made per your AGENTS.md rules”. The description links gutsykarts.com and the “Mario Kart vibe code prompt” as a Gemini share, a report titled “Architectural Specification and Agentic Orchestration Blueprint for a Browser-Based 3D Arcade Kart Racer in Google Antigravity”. Two hours later the author posted a 30-second short, “Vibe Coded Mario Kart Argon 4”, whose upper half shows a white-helmeted driver in a blue and red kart passing boost chevrons and a track-editor view of a circuit among houses and trees, above the author’s webcam; on Reddit, as u/EBIKEBUILDER_YT, the author wrote “I vibe coded a Mario Kart clone with Gemini 4 Argon , less than 1 HR” and “works pretty good, chat GPT is still way better at graphics”, with the site and the repository. The repository was created on 2026-10-11 with an earlier Babylon.js kart racer (commits of 2026-10-11 and 2026-10-12 that name no model); the commit of 2026-10-13 at 22:48 UTC, “Gutsy Karts 3D overhaul: Babylon.js procedural track, asymmetric mass physics, hop-drift, items, soundtrack, and track editor”, removed that code and added the present game, and later commits up to 2026-10-15 add online races, a dedicated server and new items; the posts do not say which model wrote the earlier build or the later commits. The site, “Gutsy Karts — Suburban Kart Racer”, offers Grand Prix cups, a “3D CIRCUIT STUDIO”, online hosting and a dedicated server; a cup race starts on the “GUTSY AVENUE GRAND CIRCUIT” against three AI karts. The author’s Zeldo build-off, a separate work, is X47.

A game about Imminence from one prompt, three times: Claude Fable 5 in July, GPT-6 Astra in September and Gemini 4 Argon in October
Ethan Mollick (@emollick), X, 2026-07-27
The prompt, quoted in all three posts, is “Make a game about Imminence. Something very big, very strange is happening. A suburb & the arrival of a vast & unknowable presence. Not horror, invoke the feeling of the end of all things coming, inevitably, but also not sad or scary” (the Argon post starts it at “A game about Imminence”). The July post, headed “Fable:”, links the game with two stills of a suburb printed in flat orange, grey and cream, one looking down a street towards a rayed sun and one with a gold ring above a cul-de-sac. A reply says “The mechanics (such as they are), writing, and plot are all Fable, I gave it some suggestions as feedback.”; asked whether the tone was prompted, the author answered “just the tone in the initial prompt from the post”; another reply links the source (“Build or modify here”), and the next day the author explained that “the AI originally did a realistic style”; asked “to be more creative”, it chose “an interesting two-toned comic book, but that caused too many moire patterns”, so it moved to the present silkscreen look, and the author added “My big contribution was suggesting Klimt as an inspiration for the ring.” On 2026-09-11 came “Astra’s turn” with the same prompt; its image shows the title “IMMINENCE” and “Everyone has come outside.” over a sunlit suburban street beneath a vast white form. On 2026-10-14 the author wrote “Argon is quite different:”, quoting the Astra post; the clip shows the Argon game at night: a cul-de-sac under drifting lights, a glowing tether at “#22 SYCAMORE COURT” (“The Illuminated Swimming Pool”), a panel with a waveform (“HARMONIC LOCK ACHIEVED”) that asks “How should the Perigee translate this remnant?”, the count “TETHERS HARMONIZED 1 / 7” and the next tether, “The Non-Euclidean Hopscotch”. The three live pages, each walked in first person, are “IMMINENCE” (“a suburb, on the last evening”, “about ten minutes · it cannot be paused”), “IMMINENCE” (“AN ORDINARY AFTERNOON”, “About twelve minutes.”) and “THE PERIGEE AT SYCAMORE COURT — 7:53 PM” (“An Interactive Meditation on Imminence & the Gentle End of Measurement”, “3D WebGL · Custom GLSL Shaders · Generative Lydian Soundscape”). The repository holds the Fable version only, as “Plain ES modules + three.js 0.169 from a CDN importmap (no build step)”, and both of its commits carry the trailer “Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5”.

A brutalist city builder from one prompt: Claude Fable 5.1 in a single shot, then GPT-6 Astra in Codex and Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity
Ethan Mollick (@emollick), X, 2026-10-04
The author quotes the prompt “create the ultimate brutalist city builder. you should have lots of controls over buildings in ways that are delightful and intuitive to people…” and writes “Here is Fable 5.1, a little over a year since GPT-5 below, in a single shot from a prompt.”, quoting a 2025 post about a GPT-5 brutalist building creator made from another prompt. The clip shows BRUT’s demonstration city, Eastfield, under a running count of people, dwellings and concrete: slabs, towers, a ziggurat and a drum tower are selected and adjusted in an inspector, an estate is laid out from a planning doctrine (“Towers in the park”, “Streets in the sky”, “Microrayon” and “Metabolist” among them), and a wind study draws streamlines across the site. A reply gives the full prompt, which ends “there should be simulation modes and different ways to view or experience the city. make it stunning.”, and another says “I am quite impressed with how pretty the results are.” with the GitHub link. On 2026-10-13 the author wrote “I spent a decent amount of time with Gemini 4 before launch.”, that “it is the first non-OpenAI/Anthropic model to pass the Fable/Mythos/Astra bar” and that “It has a tendency to be too certain about its conclusions and a little lazy, issues not helped by the Antigravity harness not being quite as good as the competition.”, then gave the same prompt, now ending “i want to host this on netlify in the end”, with three results: “Astra Max in Codex”, “5.1 Max in Code” and “Argon in Antigravity”. Its image sets the three side by side as “City overview”, “Full interface” and “Architectural detail”. The live pages are “BRUT — a city in raw concrete” (Fable 5.1), “FORMWORK — A city in concrete” (Astra; “New Brutalia”, with building types from “The slab” and “The tower” to “The habitat” and Model, Plan, Walk, Section and Cinematic views) and “BÉTON BRUT — Tectonic Brutalist City Builder & Urban Simulator” (Argon; masterplan sites such as “Barbican & Thamesmead Megastructure”, “ORBIT”, “STREET WALK”, “AXONOMETRIC” and “CINEMA TOUR” views, and an inspector for massing, pilotis and facades). The repository holds the Fable 5.1 version only, as a static site with three.js r180 (“The sounds are synthesised in the browser and the textures are computed in the shaders; there are no other assets.”), and both of its commits carry the trailer “Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1”.

Zeldo, an AI build-off: one overhead 3D Zelda-like browser game built by seven models, with the Gemini 4 Argon build made the primary one
VibeCodeBro, YouTube, 2026-10-07
The first episode, “Vibe Coding a Zelda Game With Muse — Ep 1 (AI Build-Off Begins)”, has a description that begins “I vibe coded an entire 3D Zelda-like game with Muse AI — without writing a single line of code myself.”, lists “an overhead 3D overworld to explore, sword combat, enemies, rupees and hearts, a dungeon quest with a boss fight, and a victory screen”, links the code and ends “Next episode: I give the exact same challenge to ChatGPT’s Astra 6, then we compare what each AI builds.” Its thumbnail sets “GEMINI FLASH 3.8”, “META MUSE” and “ASTRA GPT 6” against each other under the words “VIBE CODE STANDOFF”. Episodes on the same channel follow for GPT-6 Astra (“ASTRA GPT6 Vibe Codes ZELDA”, 2026-10-07; the description says “Astra, which integrates with Codex”), Claude Opus 5.5 and Gemini 3.8 (2026-10-08) and GPT-6.1 Sol (2026-10-09), whose description speaks of a consistent one-shot prompt “used in previous tests with other AI models like Astra 6 and Opus 5.5”. In a lessons-learned episode on 2026-10-11 the description calls Astra 6 “the top tool for game development”, says Google Gemini needed “significant hand-holding and constant, refined prompting to achieve specific game mechanics” and reports Grok as ineffective for this use. The Gemini 4 Argon episode, “Can Gemini 4 Argon Vibe Code ZELDO? - Episode 1”, followed on 2026-10-13: a 46-minute session whose description says the author “uses Gemini 4 Argon on its high-thinking setting” and lists milestones from boss balancing and graphics upgrades to a shop with a bow, arrows and a boomerang and “A robust, Unity-style live map editor”; its thumbnail reads “VIBE CODING ZELDO” and “WITH GEMINI 4 ARGON”. The author’s hub page, “Zeldo — The AI Build-Off”, reads “Seven AIs. One blueprint. One flagship Zeldo.”, says that after Muse built the reference version “the same one-shot blueprint went to ChatGPT’s Astra 6, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude Opus, OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Sol, and xAI’s Grok”, and that the Argon build “is now the primary build of Zeldo” (journal entry of 2026-10-14), “evolving the blueprint” into a four-exit village hub, a five-room puzzle dungeon, more weapons and tools and a live 3D map editor; its recap counts 25,635 lines in 8 files for the Argon build against 4,229 to 10,445 lines for the six others. On 2026-10-15 every build opened to its own title screen, from “ZELDO & the Sunstone” (Opus) to “ZELDO — The Hollow Crown” (Sol); the Argon build, “Zeldo — Episode I: The Sunken Sanctum”, starts in an overhead 3D village hub with hearts, a magic bar, a rupee counter and nine item slots, and a message that a stone turret is firing at the player. The Grok build has no episode; the hub links it at grok.zeldo.site, which did not resolve, but zeldo-grok.vercel.app runs it. The Argon repository’s README names no model and its commits carry no co-author lines; its description reads “zelda clone with gemini 4 argon”.

A browser Minecraft from one prompt: Gemini 4 Argon against GPT-6.1 Sol, scored on play and on code
RandyJinDev (@RandyJinAI), X, 2026-10-14
The post sets the test, 「同一句提示词，让 Gemini 4 Argon 和 GPT-6.1-sol 各写一个浏览器版 Minecraft。」 (“the same prompt, and Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6.1-sol each write a browser Minecraft”), in which blocks can be dug and placed, the player jumps and collides, all in one HTML file; its two images hold six screenshots of the Argon version (a start panel, grassy hills, trees, a dug trench and a placed stone block) and three of the GPT-6.1-sol version (grass, trees and a placed stone block). It follows the thread’s opening post, in which the author writes 「Gemini 4 Argon 这两天刷屏了，大家都说它写代码很强。」 (“Gemini 4 Argon has been all over the feed for two days, and everyone says it writes code very well.”), 「但跑分是跑分，真写项目是另一回事。」 (“But benchmarks are benchmarks; writing a real project is another matter.”) and 「我拿一个小项目实测了一下。」 (“I tested it on a small project.”). The thread finds that the Argon version offers more to play with (sound, digging particles, a pixel hotbar and touch buttons) and that the GPT-6.1-sol version is better structured but slower, and scores them 「需求完成度：Argon 9.5，GPT 9」 (“requirements met: Argon 9.5, GPT 9”), 「体验：Argon 9，GPT 7」 (“experience: Argon 9, GPT 7”) and 「架构：Argon 6，GPT 8」 (“architecture: Argon 6, GPT 8”), adding 「想快速出 demo 用 Argon，想当工程底子用 GPT，但两个都得有人懂行来把关。」 (“for a quick demo use Argon, for an engineering base use GPT, but both need someone who knows the craft to check them”); the last post links the code, the prompt and the playable pages. The repository README sums up 「Gemini 4 Argon 体验更好，GPT-6.1-sol 架构更好。」 (“Gemini 4 Argon gives the better experience, GPT-6.1-sol the better architecture.”) and says both files are the models’ output, unmodified; it reports that the Argon version builds each of more than 5,000 blocks as its own mesh, while the GPT-6.1-sol version draws only exposed blocks in batches on a 56×56 map against Argon’s 29×29 but ran at about a third of Argon’s frame rate, measured in a software-rendering environment for relative comparison only. The pages, linked from 「AI Minecraft 对决」 (“AI Minecraft showdown”), are 「Minecraft 风格 3D 方块世界 (Three.js)」 (“a Minecraft-style 3D block world”) for Argon, with sound, terrain regeneration and a pause screen, and 「方块世界」 (“block world”) for GPT-6.1-sol; both open on a click-to-play panel.

A reply posts the main and revision prompts: the request asks for a side-scrolling game rendered in 3D with stylish lighting such as street lamps and lanterns, an auto-scrolling catwalk crossed by jumping, and supple walking, running and jumping. An English post with the same account carries the clip. Four days later the author announced an update, and a reply describes “a one-button 3D browser game” with “Zero image or audio files: the town, the cat’s animation and the jazz are all generated in code.

Pressure Wash Panic: a casual browser game built with Claude Opus 5.5 and Blender
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-09-23
The author writes “Opus 5.5 is amazing for gamedev! It’s fast + understands your intentions so well” and describes “this fun casual game where you are a pressure washer. Just avoid the plants, car… and cats!”, built with Blender and Tripo and running in Rust with WASM and WebGPU. A 17-minute walkthrough shows the build “From idea all the way to shipping it to more than 1000 players”, noting “This was not one shot”, and a reply links the game.

Follow-up: Chong-U (@chongdashu) (X, 2026-09-28): “I’ve been shipping lots of updates thanks to Opus 5: new clients, street runs, outfits, daily streaks, achievements.” The post names “Opus 5”, not Opus 5.5. The clip shows the new clients (“Their own houses. Their own stuff.”), new house colours and times of day, street runs (“Several driveways, one clock”), a shop for outfits, water colour and pump upgrades, a three-day streak and an achievements list, and ends on pressurewashpanic.com with “2,000+ players so far”. The game’s own site says it “went from a first prompt to a published game in under eight hours, built with Claude Code”. Archived copy: video, 30 s (still)
Gigacity: an endless procedural city flown through in the browser, all code, then an anime remaster
Ryan Sael (@RyanSael), X, 2026-10-08
Ryan Sael writes “Everything in this city is procedural and endless. Running in a browser. WebGPU.” and “100% code (by Opus 5.5)”. The day before the author replied to a post by @mrdoob, “trying this now. wish me luck”, with a screenshot of the Claude session (Opus 5.5, Max) and the prompt “do you think we can build this same experience without unity assets? and everything procedural?” and “must be extremely good”. The clip flies between towers lit window by window, with flying cars and a skyline at sunset; a reply reports “16,610 played so far” within a day, and on 2026-10-11 an anime remaster adds a “90s anime” look. The city is generated, not modelled on a real place.

Garage to Gigawatt: a game that grows an AI lab from one gaming PC to a data-center campus
Ryan Sael (@RyanSael), X, 2026-10-04
Ryan Sael writes “I made a game where you start an AI lab in your garage and race to AGI” with the starter kit “one gaming PC. one box fan. one extension cord.” The clip shows an isometric garage that expands into server halls with cooling and a billboard; a reply thanks a sponsor of API credits and notes that “@OpenRouter got the launch billboard”. The post names no model; their reel of the past 14 days, which includes this game, says “all of this was made possible by Opus 5.5!”

Tidebreaker: a rainy harbour platformer with a giant boss chase, built with Claude Opus 5.5
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-10-11
The author writes “I love the atmosphere in platformer games like Ori and the Blind Forest.” and “So I used Opus 5.5 to try to vibe code my own game with similar vibes - and to have an EPIC giant boss chase scene!” The clip shows a small white-clad figure with a red scarf jumping between piers and pilings in a rainy night harbour full of wrecked ships; after a card reading “But something awaits…”, a giant stone figure with glowing eyes and a lit diamond on its chest looms behind the piers, and the clip ends on the title and the game’s address. A reply says the assets “were generated by Opus 5.5 - with Tripo for some of 3d assets like parts of the Titan and Spriterrific for the 2d animated character”, and, asked whether the model was made in Blender with Opus 5.5, another answers “Yes with Tripo for some intricate parts of the Titan”. Spriterrific is the author’s own sprite tool; the game page says “I built Spriterrific to make this game’s sprites.” and embeds the Wavedash build.

Haiku Harbour: a multiplayer seaside town with hundreds of NPCs, built by Claude Haiku 5.5
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-10-08
The author asks “Can Anthropic’s newest (+cheapest) model build a multiplayer 2.5D game?” and writes that Claude Haiku 5.5 “built a browser town with hundreds of NPCs in a cosy seaside town - together with real players.” The clip opens on a painted “Haiku Harbour” title, then shows the town from above: a cobbled square with striped market stalls, musicians on a stage, crowds of townsfolk, wooden piers with crates and boats in the harbour, captioned “Made with Claude Haiku 5.5”. Asked whether it was built from scratch, the author replies “There was some very boilerplatey stuff for rust + wasm + WebGPU and a bunch of skills that i use all the time” and “It took quite a lot of iterations , more than i would have needed with something like sonnet or opus for sure”; another reply says “it took many many prompts”. A walkthrough the next day covers this game and the farm game M309 (“Thanks to Claude Haiku 5.5 & GPT 6.1 Sol”), with chapters on “Haiku Costs and Prompting” and “Multiplayer Optimization Tips”.

Closing Time: a first-person bouncer game built with Claude Sonnet 5.5
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-09-29
The author writes “I’m having a blast making games with Claude Sonnet 5.5!” and “So I made this First Person BOUNCER game just for laughs.”, with the rules “Toss troublemakers out” and “Don’t break anything!” and the stack “Sonnet 5.5 + Tripo + Blender + Wasm + WebGPU + ElevenLabs”. The clip shows first-person hands grabbing patrons in a neon bar, swinging them round and throwing them out of the door (“SWING.”, “THROW HIM OUT.”, “BOWL THE CROWD.”), a receipt that takes the damages out of the pay, a “MADE IN BLENDER” panel with a rigged patron, and the end card “BUILT WITH CLAUDE SONNET 5.5”. In a devlog the next day the captions read “GPT Image 2.5 draws a four-view turnaround sheet.”, “Tripo turns the four views into a textured 3D mesh.”, “The rig is a Blender script by Claude Sonnet 5.5.”, “The bar is a script too: floor, walls, bar, neon, furniture.” and “The hands are Blender too. No AI mesh.” Asked whether Sonnet also wrote the character animation code, the author replies “All by Sonnet!”; asked about rigging in Blender instead of Mixamo, the author says “rigging works very well”; and another reply says “you don’t need an engine. Just Rust + Wasm + WebGPU”. On 2026-10-01 the author lists new systems built with Sonnet 5.5 (“Customise your look”, “Build out your apartment”, “Additional patrons”, “Additional levels”), and a 14-minute walkthrough on 2026-10-02 covers their pipeline “from idea, assets, characters, level creation and ragdoll physics”. The later posts link the Wavedash build, which Wavedash now lists as Bouncer Toss.

Ready Steady Hold: a robot wire-loop game made in less than a day with GPT-6 Astra and Blender MCP
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-09-13
The author writes “Remember that toy you played as a kid - slide a ring from one end without touching the wire?” and “I made a cute robot inspired version of it for fun.”, listing “Mockups with GPT Images 2.5”, “Implemented with GPT 6 Astra”, “Blender MCP for models” and “Wasm + WebGPU for browser”: “Idea to playable in less than a day.” The clip shows a yellow nut on a bent wire over a teal board, leading to a small red robot, then the GPT Image 2.5 mockups, the Blender MCP models seen from several angles, play (“tilt through the bends”, “dock it. FIXED!”) and an end card reading “RUST → WASM · THREE.JS WEBGPU · RUNS IN THE BROWSER”. The next day the author posted “You can play this right now!” with the Wavedash link.

Northbound: a Viking longship journey through a fjord, later upgraded with escort ships, villages and a war cry
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-09-24
The author writes “Asked ChatGPT-6 Astra to create a Viking longship journey. Now I’m steering through cliffs, forests, and waterfalls right in my browser” and “It runs on Three.js + WebGL, all in one HTML file. The water has a custom shader with reflections, refraction, and depth-based transparency. Wood and rocks use PBR textures with normal and roughness maps”, adding “$29.48 is the estimated API cost of the entire development process, including revisions, with caching enabled”. The clip shows the “Northbound.” page: a longship with a red-and-white striped sail and oars moving up a still, green fjord between forested banks, cliffs and waterfalls, with reflections and a wake, seen from a camera behind the ship; the controls include “Free sailing” and the lighting buttons “Morning”, “Overcast” and “Moonlight”. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Create “Northbound” - a beautiful, interactive 3D journey through a Nordic fjord aboard a detailed Viking longship.” The next day the author posted an upgrade: “Asked ChatGPT-6 Astra to upgrade Northbound. Now two longships sail alongside me, villages line the shores, and pressing B makes the Vikings raise their arms and shout”, with “Estimated API cost with caching: $29.48 for the original version + $20.77 for the upgrades = $50.25”. Its clip, labelled “ChatGPT-6 Astra” and “50.25$”, shows the lead ship with two escort longships, villages with lit windows along the shore at night and a view from the bow. A reply gives the updated prompt, and asked what Astra level they used, the author replied “very high”. The live page, titled “Northbound — A passage through the fjords”, serves the upgraded version: its code includes the escort ships and the war cry.

The author writes “Wait, Astra built a whole naval battle game?!” and “Asked ChatGPT-6 Astra to make one, and look at this. Gorgeous water, detailed ships, cannon fire that tears the hull apart - even the masts collapse into the sea”, adding “Around $24.32 in estimated API costs, including revisions”. The clip, labelled “ChatGPT-6 Astra” and “24.32$”, shows the “Corsair Bay.” page: square-rigged ships sailing and firing on a turquoise sea, with smoke at the guns, and wreckage and fallen sails floating on the water. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Create “Corsair Bay,” a polished, playable 3D naval battle game using Three.js and WebGL.” The live page, “Corsair Bay / Naval Skirmish”, has keyboard controls for sailing and for the port and starboard guns and counts the enemy ships sunk out of three.

Koi Canal: a boat ride down a koi canal between traditional Japanese buildings, under stone bridges and wisteria
Dilum Sanjaya (@DilumSanjaya), X, 2026-09-16
Dilum Sanjaya writes “Made a site where you float down a koi pond running between traditional Japanese buildings, under stone bridges and hanging wisteria”, “all assets procedurally generated” and “made with Fable 5.1”. The clip, seen from the bow of a wooden boat, moves along a clear green canal lined with wooden houses with paper screens and lanterns, hanging wisteria and bamboo, past lily pads, pink lotus flowers and koi, and under a pale arched bridge. Their thread reply says they “Saw this boat concept in one of @Noni_Shehnoor ’s posts and wanted to try something similar in a Japanese style setting.” Shehnoor Ansari’s boat ride down the Nile is M356. Asked whether the scene used GLB or OBJ files and whether it was open source, the author replied “No external assets. It’s all generated with code, and yes, it’s a three.js scene.” and “I can make it open source!”; no repository is linked. The live page, “Koi Canal — a ride through the water garden”, runs the ride in a bundled Three.js (r185) build, with the on-screen keys “drag look around”, “wheel speed”, “space pause” and “C recentre”.

Jelly Bowling: a ten-frame bowling game with a squishy ball and soft pins that wobble
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-09-07
The author writes “I asked ChatGPT-6 Astra to make Jelly Bowling - and now I have a full bowling game in my browser: a squishy jelly ball, colorful soft pins, collision physics, 10-frame scoring, strikes, and spares” and “You can pull the ball with your mouse, aim, and let it fly. The pins squash, scatter, and keep wobbling after every hit”. The clip shows the “Jelly Bowling.” page: translucent pastel pins at the end of a pale, tray-shaped lane, a pink and then a green jelly ball rolled into them, pins knocked over and wobbling, and the caption “2 pins down.” Asked whether the scoring tracked strikes and spares on the first try, the author replied “Yeah. Strikes and spares counted on the first run. I didn’t have to patch the scoreboard”. Asked by readers whether they could play it, the author replied with the live page, “Jelly Bowling · The softest strike”, which is labelled “WEBGPU · LIVE” and has ball-flavour, aim and jelly-firmness controls and a ten-frame scoreboard.

Pario Cart: a kart-racing game with eight racers and six tracks, built by looping the Replit agent
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-04
The author writes “10 minutes using #Astra by @OpenAI” and “Yes, 10 minutes”. The clip shows a title screen with a painted fox driving a kart, then a “Select Racer” screen that shows 3D karts with animal and robot drivers beside stat bars for speed, acceleration, handling and weight. Minutes earlier, a photo of the Replit Agent chat showed the agent planning a harbour circuit, eight racer models and the title, selection and race screens. About twenty minutes later the author posted “30 mins in @Replit looping” and “But Replit iFrame can’t see WebGPU…oh yes it can”, with a first race on a track past colourful houses; later that night the author wrote “Around about an hour and 1 level is complete”, linked the game and asked “Am I the first to launch an Astra game on Replit?”, noting that they had “about 20 browsers open all playing WebGPU”. The next day the author wrote “I let @Replit agent loop for around 3/hrs or so. It built out stages 2 and 3”, and that evening the author wrote “Made in @Replit using @OpenAI Astra”, “No external assets. No Blender. Pure code.”, “6-levels now”, “Only audio from Pixabay was imported” and “Built in less than 24/hrs - looped the entire game with some steers”, with three speed classes, “Fumble (the rubbish over-priced slow level), Sol, the medium speed level and Astra, the fast level”; that clip shows races on a beach track, a snowy pass, a city street and a rainbow track in space with a loop. A reply puts the build at “6 or so hours gauntlet looping”. The live page, “Pario Cart”, lists six rounds (“Sunspire Harbour”, “Coral Coast”, “Crown City”, “Frostveil Pass”, “Echo Caverns” and “Prism Orbit”), eight racers and the three classes, and a race opens at Sunspire Harbour with a lap counter.

Astra Flight: a Flappy Bird clone that an overnight Replit agent loop turned into a 3D flight through machinery
Kevin Blumson (@KevinBlumson), X, 2026-09-04
Addressing Steve Procter, the author posts “the FlappyBird benchmark for Astra on @replit.” with a link to the game. The clip, recorded on a phone, shows the first version: a title page reading “One small bird. An impossible universe.” and a glowing bird flapping between neon pillars past a large ring and a striped planet. Their reply adds “Built entirely from mobile app. Didn’t touch my laptop.” and “What was interesting was watching it evolve as it looped.” The next morning the author wrote “Left the Replit Agent loop and running and went to bed, as it was about 1am for me by then.” and “Woke up to this upgrade”; that clip shows a page reading “The crew is gone. The machinery isn’t.”, a choice of “Side” or “2.5D” view, and a small craft flying through a 3D structure of pipes, gears and machinery, with a turbo meter and a “SIGNAL LOST” screen. A reply says “Used @Replit with Astra on High.”, and another, under Steve Procter’s July post on a Flappy Bird test of Replit agent models, says “New entry from Astra!” and “OK, I didn’t follow the baseline prompt”. That evening the author wrote “@Replit with Astra just played it 148 times to test it, all permutations and options explored.”, and after midnight “I’ve made some updates to my @Replit x @OpenAI Astra upgrade of FlappyBird.” and “100% made in Replit, with music imported from Pixabay.”; that clip adds a “SELECT SCOUT” screen, marked “FICTIONAL SHOWCASE”, with three pilots to choose from. The live page, “Astra Flight — A New Dimension of Play”, serves the machinery version with the scout choice. When checked on 2026-10-12, its 3D view rendered in a phone-sized mobile browser window, while desktop windows showed the interface over a black canvas.

Shehnoor Ansari writes that their brother said “I bet you can’t build a real-time strategy MOBA style game on @Replit similar to Dota 2”, that the game is “Still a work-in-progress but check it out on desktop”, and tags the post “#gpt6” and “#Astra”. The clip, filmed of a monitor and a laptop, opens on a Veilfall landing page with a white-haired knight in a red cloak raising a sword, then shows a top-down 3D map: a domed shrine holding a glowing golden orb inside a stone circle, ringed by pale flowering trees, with paved paths, blue-grey rocks, turquoise water and a red-cloaked figure walking nearby; it ends on a portrait view with “BEGIN TRIAL” and “PRACTICE” buttons. Two days later the author posted a photo of the landing page on their two screens, with the Replit Agent chat beside it, and wrote “See my previous post for the gameplay”. The live page, described as “Explore The Valley of the Fallen God, an ancient mythic fantasy map.”, opens with an intro video of “VAEL, THE BLOODBOUND” and an “ENTER THE VALLEY” button, then the same map labelled “GOD’S HEART”, with “WASD or Arrow keys” to walk and “Space or the Attack button” for a sword attack. The page loads a rigged character model, the intro video and image textures; the post does not say how these were made.

The author writes “Gauntlet looping”, “Not finished, needs a bit of work” and “Sniper controls not great on Macbook”. The clip, seen down a scoped rifle, moves through a town of brick and plaster apartment blocks along a canal under an overcast sky, with objective panels that name Saint Orra Market and a radio, and views through a round scope. A week later the author posted another clip of the same level with “Sol 5.6 one-shot with a few steers” and “Astra needs to come soon”, tagged #Codex, #Sol and #Ultra. Two hours after that the author posted photos of PAYLO, a different shooter set on a green coast, with “Okay, in 20 minutes Astra has done better than 12/hrs looping in Sol 5.6 Ultra”, and answered a post by Tibo (@thsottiaux) on the Astra rollout with the same photos and “One-shot gauntlet looping as always.”; the posts do not say that the two games had the same prompt, PAYLO has no playable link, and a later reply says “Paylo still working on, but hopefully soon.” The live page, “Codex Field 4 — Sable Crossing”, is listed in the arcade on the author’s website; its briefing reads “The Old Observatory transmitter is correcting enemy artillery onto Sable Canal.

The author writes “Just started the loop, about 15 mins in”, “50 rooms on the spaceship, connected by tunnels” and “You need to escape”, tagged #Astra. The clip shows the Replit Agent chat beside the preview, where an agent message reads “The first implementation is in place: 50 connected rooms, movement and collision, three weapons, hostile crew, supplies, checkpoints, a ship map and the escape sequence.”; the preview runs from an Event Horizon Dark title through a wake-up card into first-person corridors named Cryostasis bay, Maintenance access, Decontamination, Cargo intake and Freight sorting, with a carbine and the objective “Restore reactor power”. An hour and a half later the author wrote “I know the enemies need work”; the next night the author asked “can you escape the ship alive?”, tagged #Unity and #Astra, with a clip of pale creatures in the ship’s rooms. When asked whether the games could be played, the author replied “Well it isn’t finished but it’s playable.” and shared the link, and that evening posted it with “@Replit best with headphone on in the dark”; that clip shows creatures in dark corridors and an escape-pod bay marked POD 07 // EVACUATE.

One way out.” and “No one is coming for you.”; a new game starts in the Cryostasis bay with “Restore reactor power” after the loading line “Loading the supplied creature models and animations”. Its credits call the title art “Original AI-generated environment artwork” and say “Ship geometry, crew models, weapons, materials and audio are authored in code.”; the posts do not say where the creature models came from.

Snyper: five sniper contracts, from a New York rooftop to a snowbound pass, a desert fort and a container port
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-06
The author posts “@Replit x Codex joint build” with a link to the game, tagged #Codex and #Astra. The clip opens on a rooftop above a New York street with yellow cabs, a scoped rifle and a panel of target descriptions, then shows a failure card, “Every shot matters.” (“A civilian was hit. Positive identification is essential.”), scoped views of figures on snow and in a desert courtyard, a snowy valley with trucks, a desert fort among palms and a port with containers and cranes, with loading cards titled “Dead water” and “The last signal”. The live page, “SNYPer — Every breath counts.”, offers “Five locations. Fifteen names.” in five contracts (New York, the Northern Frontier, the Saharan Frontier, the North Atlantic and the Coastal Highlands); the first reads “A private arms network is moving through the morning crowds. Identify its three field officers. Keep civilians out of your line of fire.” and opens on the same rooftop. The post does not say how the title image and the rooftop props, which the code names as licensed modules, were made.

Mad Taxi: a Crazy Taxi-style fare game across four districts of a blocky coastal city
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-09
Writing to ThreeJSAssets, the author posts a screenshot with “can you see what it is yet?” and, in a reply, “Crazy Taxi x Minecraft”. The screenshot shows a Mad Taxi project in Replit: a yellow open-top taxi on a beach road beside a blocky passenger, a fare counter and a Vice Beach district label, next to the agent’s note “The world now covers roughly 1.47 km by 1.6 km, with 950 buildings, up from 116.” Twenty minutes later the author wrote “didn’t even prompt. Just looked at my screen and it started building this. No-shot”, and that afternoon “loop,loop,loop,looping.”, tagged #Astra, with screenshots of the city districts. On 2026-09-11 the author wrote “Not finished. Playable, but needs polishing”, and on 2026-10-09 “Crazy Taxi looping at the moment”, then a clip with “still not finished but did a bit of work. Also mobile optimised and PWA. Might put it on the PlayStore?” and the link; that clip shows the agent chat beside the taxi picking up passengers on city streets for fares. The live page, “Mad Taxi | Coastal Chaos”, offers eight drivers and “ONE CONNECTED WORLD. FOUR DISTRICTS.” (City Centre, Metropolis, Vice Beach and Suburban Hills). The characters come from ThreeJSAssets packs (named in the posts); the posts do not say how the driver portraits and the title art were made.

Terminal Volocity: a five-minute wingsuit descent from an alpine summit to a forest clearing
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-13
The author writes “This is how I make all of my games in @Replit . This is it.”, “This is the one-shot prompt and everything that goes with it.” and “My two Skills are my IP but you can build them yourself if you ask Agent to help you.” The clip scrolls through the prompt on the Replit start screen, with reference screenshots of wingsuit games and two attached skills, webgpu-visual-verification and aaa-threejs-game-studio: “I want to build a wingsuit game using these two skills and it must be AAA PS4 graphics.”, “Fan out sub agents and you and the sub agents must use Astra Max effort and no other model or reasoning level.” and “Call the game Terminal Volocity”; the agent then starts on the title screen. Replies show the title screen (“Title screen already done.”) and the first flight down a snowy gully, with “One-shot - something went wrong and it changed to Free Mode by itself, so I’ve had to stop it and re-start.” The next day the author posted “@Replit Wing Suit Flying” with “Astra is absolutely useless at the moment.” and “This should have been MUCH better.”; that clip shows the orange-suited flyer skimming rock faces through sections named The Summit, The Rock Face and The Tree Line, with airspeed and clearance readouts, beside the agent chat. The live page, “Terminal Volocity”, reads “One mountain. Metres from the rock.” and describes “A continuous mountain-side descent from summit to forest floor. Bank along the orange flags, stay under 18 metres to build your score, and deploy over the final clearing.” Its credits page lists terrain from Copernicus EU-DEM, USGS and Mapzen data, Poly Haven materials and rock and pine meshes (CC0) and a MakeHuman pilot mesh (CC0), and says “The title illustration was generated with OpenAI and is not an in-game render.”

Powder Rush: a snowboard race down a 3.35 km alpine run, built in a 30-hour Claude Code loop
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-24
The author writes “I let Claude Code Opus 5.5 loop over night. Not finished.”, “One-shot, no steers.” and “The jumps and snow flicking up when slowing down have been handled well.” The clip follows a snowboarder in a blue jacket down a groomed slope between pine trees, through red and blue gates, past orange safety netting and over jumps, spraying snow on the turns. That afternoon the author wrote “Opus 5.5 is a whole different level.” and “The intro video, the player select with depth of field”; that clip adds a Powder Rush title, a rider select with four riders and trick callouts such as PERFECT LANDING and BIG AIR. Late that night the author wrote “This is still looping - over 20/hrs now” and “I’ve added speech, SFX and music via @ElevenLabs”, and the next morning “Should be finished at 1pm. That’ll be around 30/hrs.”; five hours later the author posted “30/hrs+ looping”, “One-shot, which is absurd. Steers for @ElevenLabs speech, SFX and music” and the link, with a full run that ends on a run-complete card at 2:47.70. When another user pointed to the human work behind it, the author replied “I’ve built over 200 games using AI over the last few years and it has all of that context.” The live page, “POWDER RUSH”, is “photoreal arcade snowboarding down a 3.35 km alpine run, right in your browser”, per its description, and its menu offers one race, “DROP IN · SUMMIT TO VALLEY · 3.35 KM”.

Helion Rift: a one-level space shooter from a one-line prompt, with a trench run and a dreadnought boss
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-24
The author writes “This is genuinely one-shot start to finish. No steers. No uploaded audio or SFX, nothing”, “100% built with code, no external assets”, “Been looping maybe 16/hrs” and “This is genuinely the prompt:-“, quoting “Build a single level space shooting game using threejs latest version. Must be AAA PlayStation 4 graphics”, tagged #Claude, #Code and #Opus. The image, which the author calls the actual game, shows a white fighter over the deck of a dark warship, with laser fire, asteroids, a banded gas giant and the title HELION/RIFT. The next day the author posted “One-shot, no steers, 24/hrs plus.”, the same prompt, “100% code. No external Assets. You can select code generated sound, or speech, audio & SFX from @ElevenLabs” and the link; that clip opens on an Operation Helion Rift title and flies a fighter through an asteroid belt beside a gas giant, along the deck of a cruiser and against a dreadnought named SEVERANCE, with radio messages in subtitles, until the dreadnought breaks apart. A reply says “Genuinely one-shot with that rubbish prompt. I only added the ElevenLabs right at the very end.”, and on 2026-10-08 the author posted the boss fight again with “Still so pleased with how this came out. 100% code. No assets.” The live page, “Helion Rift”, describes “A cinematic space shooter where every ship, planet, explosion and note of music is generated in code.” and the mission “Break the Obsidian Choir blockade at Helion IV and bring down the dreadnought SEVERANCE.”

Winterover: a crew turf war across a snowbound Antarctic research town in the polar night
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-25
Writing to ThreeJSAssets, the author posts a screenshot with “Some gang stuff about to go down”, tagged #Opus, and in a reply “Been playing with Opus 5.5, so a little behind. I’d have normally released a full game by now”. The screenshot shows a Winterover title screen: a research station on stilts under an aurora, a snow tractor and a ship in the ice, with “The ship leaves on Friday. After that, the sun goes and the ice closes.” and a NEW EXPEDITION menu. That evening the author posted “@Replit x @threejsassets x Opus 5.5” and “New pack released today and already built a little demo game”; that clip moves from the Winterover menu and a Punkzilla crew card to a blocky character in a white suit walking through the snow between lit buildings on stilts, under green aurora, with a district list and objectives to take the station core, the marker plaza and the harbour. The live page, “WINTEROVER: a polar survival game”, now opens on “The last ship sailed in March. Six crews stayed behind in Port Halvard, and the town is only big enough for one of them. Pick your side and take every street before the sun comes back.”; the player picks one of six crews and takes the districts held by the others. Its page description still speaks of keeping a research station alive “through generator failures, fuel runs and blizzards”. The characters and props come from a ThreeJSAssets pack (named in the post); the posts do not say how the title image was made.

The Place Beyond Two Pines: an endless crew shoot-out in the aisles of a corner shop
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-26
The author writes “This is without doubt the best game I have ever made.”, “@Replit x @threejsassets x Opus 5.5 x @ElevenLabs” and “Not a demo showcasing the models, a fully built, endless shooter, with hilarious audio, great characters and just generally a totally mad game.” The clip opens on “Choose your crew”, with six blocky gangs lined up in a supermarket, then plays waves of a third-person shoot-out between the shelves, with WAVE 1, AISLE CLEAR and WAVE 3 banners, a floor plan, and bottles and blood spilling across the checked floor. A reply adds “I’ve even made it mobile PWA optimised / install.” and “Never ending rounds of enemies.”, and another says of the tannoy speech “I didn’t even gibe give the speech…it mad it all up.” The live page, “The Place Beyond Two Pines”, reads “TONIGHT ONLY. SIX CREWS. ONE CORNER SHOP.” and “Every crew in town wants the same shop. Pick yours, hold the tills and try not to knock over the pickled onions.”; a round starts with tannoy lines such as “WOULD ALL STAFF PLEASE TAKE COVER BEHIND THE BAKERY COUNTER.

Underpass: skateboarding through a Gaussian-splat scan of a real DIY skate spot under a road bridge
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-10-09
The author writes “I’m building Underpass, a photorealistic skate game that runs in the browser.” and lists the workflow: “Real DIY spot: 10M-splat Gaussian scan, cut to 1.5M, rendered natively in three.js WebGPU (~99fps on a MacBook Air)” and “The skater is an AI concept → Meshy 3D + auto-rig via fal ($2.76)”, with “Credit: “Skate park” by tanha (SuperSplat)”. The clip follows a skater in a hoodie and jeans along graffiti-covered concrete ledges and a bowl under a road bridge, among trees. A reply says “It’s more experimental and learning then anything else”; that night the author posted “Built in a few hours. Not finished. Runs in the browser.”, and on 2026-10-10 “It’s hard because it isn’t an arcade style game, it’s more of a sim, mixed with arcade style.”, tagged #Opus, with tricks such as Kickflip and Pop Shove-it named on screen. On 2026-10-11 the author posted “A real skatepark scan, a WebGPU world and a Meshy skater with custom animation.” with the link. The live page, “UNDERPASS”, opens on the skater in the scanned spot. The scan is a third-party Gaussian splat and the skater was made with Meshy; the posts name a model only in that one hashtag, without a version.

Blueline: a 5-on-5 arcade hockey game in the browser, built over several weeks with Claude Opus 5.5 and given an optimization pass by Gemini 4 Argon
Alex St. Louis (@AlexStLouis10), X, 2026-10-07
The author writes “I made a hockey game in Three.js and embedded it on X. Try it out and lmk what you think!”; the post carries the game itself as an embedded player. On 2026-10-13 the author posted “So I vibe coded a hockey game. Play it now:” with a clip recorded in the browser: the “MATCHUP” screen for the Iron Range Miners at the Boreal Lynx, a faceoff and five-on-five play in a full arena, a “WHISTLE · GOALIE FREEZE” stoppage and an icing call, with the clock running from 5:00 to 4:27 and no goals. Asked whether it was decompiled or made from scratch, the author replied “Made from scratch using Opus 5.5, I worked on it for several weeks consistently getting the gameplay systems feeling just right and focusing on the fun factor.”; later that day “I’m going to get the new Gemini Argon to improve performance and do bug fixes though”, and two hours after that, replying to a thread of Argon games by @ammaar, “this game was made with Opus 5.5 originally, but I just had Argon just do an optimization pass and wow is it ever improved!!” To a reader who doubted it, the author wrote “Opus 5.5 made the assets using Meshy”, and the next day “Argon solved bugs Opus 5.5 never even knew existed, not to mention improved performance considerably.” A Show HN post of 2026-10-13 by astlouis44, whose Hacker News profile gives a contact at SimplyStream (the site in the author’s X profile), is titled “Show HN: I made a hockey web game with Opus 5.5, and Gemini Argon optimized it”. The live page, “Blueline: arcade hockey” (“AURORA CENTRE”, “V0.1 · WEBGPU”), offers “PLAY NOW”, “COUCH VERSUS”, “ONLINE VERSUS”, “SPECTATE”, “HOUSE RULES” and “HOW TO PLAY”; a quick start opens a game against the CPU with a card that explains skating, passing, shooting and defending.

Jelly Koi Pond: a translucent jelly disc of lily pads, lotus flowers, a frog and koi that stretches, wobbles and changes colour
J A Z I I (@notjazii), X, 2026-10-13
The author writes “argon is super fast”, “model is live on google vertex, so i tested it through aihubmix api” and “it made this in less than 2 minutes and cost me about $4 which is expensive but looks on par with fable”. The clip shows the “Jelly Koi Pond.” page: a translucent jelly disc holding lily pads, lotus flowers, a frog and koi is pulled until it stretches and wobbles, and is recoloured from green to blue and pink. A reply points to Vib3Coded’s Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra jelly koi ponds (A54) with “here is astra and opus 5.5”; asked whether the model was good or bad overall, the author replied “few tests came out really good but others are bad.. this jelly one was good i did koi pond which is kinda 3d and it didn’t do very well”. The pond is one of “12 projects” on the author’s page “Gemini 4 Argon Tests” (“Every test, live”, “Ran by @notjazii”), where each card is labelled “Gemini 4 Argon high” and gives “Devin desktop app, on Devin’s 75% Argon promo (why the cost is lower)” as the place of the test, although the post says that the pond was made through the AIHubMix API.

A 3D mahjong table with sculpted ceramic tiles, spring physics, sound effects and switchable table themes, prototyped in Antigravity
Soumya (@soumyadesign), X, 2026-10-13
The author, who works at Google, the model’s developer (profile: “Design @Google”), writes “I’ve had an absolute blast bringing my ideas to life with Gemini 4 Argon in the past few weeks!” and “This is one of the many things I prototyped. WebGL based Mahjong game. Sculpted ceramic tiles. Sounds effects. Realistic spring physics. In Antigravity. :)”, with the link; less than two minutes later the author posted the same text and clip again with “Sound effects”. The clip shows a 3D mahjong table in red with the player’s rack of ceramic tiles in front and discards landing around a dish with two dice; after a reshuffle the tiles tumble across the table, and the table changes from “IMPERIAL CRIMSON” to “OH MY BOTANICAL” and “NAVY & CELADON”. Asked about the tech stack, the author replied “this is all refined from one simple prompt within Antigravity and Argon at Medium!”, adding that it is “three.js based”; the next evening the author shared Google’s post of the game, part of Google’s thread of “5 builds from our team” (see Coverage and Roundups). The live page, “雀 · MAHJONG”, opens on a title screen whose guide asks the player to “Assemble a complete 14-tile winning hand” of four melds and a pair; a game starts at the same crimson table with the dice dish, a count of the tiles left in the wall and a score. No source code is published.

Backyard Rascals: a 3v3 multiplayer capture-the-flag game with cartoon animals in a backyard, built with Gemini 4 Argon in Cursor
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “I’ve been skipping Gemini releases for gamedev recently. They weren’t the best.”, “But Gemini 4 Argon is different.” and “I built a fully MULTIPLAYER capture-the-flag 3D game with cartoon animals using Cursor.” The clip opens on a fenced backyard from above, with decks, ponds, raised vegetable beds and umbrellas, then follows a fox in a blue vest that whacks a raccoon (“BONK!”) and carries the red flag (“CARRYING FLAG · RETURN TO BLUE FORT!”) among an otter, an opossum, a squirrel and a badger, while a clock counts down and each team’s score fills; it ends on the title over the animals and “PLAY ONLINE NOW!”. To a reader who asked why their own Argon results looked so different, the author wrote “I found that Argon had similar results initially - having rather flat looking environments and lighting. It definitely felt a lot ‘lazier’ compared to things like Astra or Opus.”, then described generating images with GPT Images 2.5 from the current screenshots and telling Argon “to treat it as a north star and to really improve the shaders, post processing, lighting, effects to get it to look closer to the image.” Asked whether Argon also wrote the networking code, the author replied “Used Argon with colyseus”; asked whether it was made in Blender or Three.js, headless or through MCP, “Made within blender. Headless.” (reply); asked whether it can make all assets and animations in code, “It generated the assets in blender and imported them - except for the character models here.” (reply); and, on how to make such models, “Use images 2.5 to generate image then use Tripo / Meshy - import into blender and rig and animate with Argon” (reply). Asked whether it had been told to optimise for phones, the author answered “No optimisation not really, but I am using WebGPU/Wasm directly, so it’s already quite optimised for performance” and “I would say Opus has more “taste” built in for sure.” The live page, “Backyard Rascals — 3v3 backyard capture the flag · chongdashu” (“A sunny yard. Rival critters. Two flags to steal.”), embeds the Wavedash build (version “v0.1.13”); a match opens in the yard while “Finding Players · 1 / 6” counts down, with “Start Now” and the controls “WASD move · Space jump · Click whack · E gadget”.

The author writes “minecraft clone made by gemini 4 argon” and “model understood what i wanted and did pretty well overall except ui which i don’t like”, with “took 19 mins”, “used 6.3M tokens” and “cost about $3 in devin”. The clip shows VoxelCraft RTX with an enchanting table and inventory, a panel of shader, weather and teleport controls (from “Lakeside Village” to “Ender Dragon Fight”), a glowing portal, a mob and lit TNT in a desert (“TNT Ignited!

Minecraft Model Bench: a Minecraft-style survival game built from the same task by Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon, all five playable
Ethan Clinick (@EthanClinick), X, 2026-09-23
The author writes “Opus 5.5 one shotted minecraft, and it didn’t even use the web!”, “It even made its own minecraft soundtrack.” and “You can craft, kill mobs, swim, decent water physics, craft armor and tools.”, adding “And only costed $15.”; the attached screenshot of the session’s status line reads “~/harness-test/pi/opus-5.5/01” and “$14.567”. The clip, recorded in a browser, creates a survival world named “Test” (“Welcome to Test! Punch a tree to get started.”), punches a tree, opens the crafting screens and walks over grass and sand by the water. Quoting that post, the author compared GPT-6 Sol the same day (“This is the exact same prompt, same harness, no additional tools.” and “It is however, ~66% cheaper!”), Claude Sonnet 5.5 on 2026-09-28 (“Sonnet 5.5 xhigh variant of my MinecraftBench.”) and GPT-6.1 Sol on 2026-09-30 (“Okay Opus 5.5 is still WAY better than 6.1 Sol.”). On 2026-10-13 the author tried “@GeminiApp new Argon model (Gemini-4-Argon)”: “this was the fastest by and cheapest far. It took around 15 minutes and only $1.72.”, but “The output is better than GPT 6.1 Sol, but nowhere close to opus 5.5 or even sonnet.”, ending “Overall, Opus 5.5 is still king even if it took an hour and $15.”; that clip plays “VoxelCraft Web”, mining grass and dirt blocks, facing a mob and opening a “Crafting & Ore Guide” inventory. That post links the bench page, “Minecraft Model Bench”, which links the five games, “Argon Minecraft Survival”, “Blockland”, “Moss & Stone”, “Blockcraft” and “Minecraft Web Edition”, with each run’s effort, time, tokens and estimated cost (Argon: “high”, “14m 44s”, “3,670,157” tokens, “$1.72”; Opus 5.5: “xhigh”, “First playable” after “56m 31s”, “$16.67”). Its About page says the games were “built with AI coding models in Pi”, that “All five builds ran through GitHub Copilot”, that Argon’s “completed restart replaces the earlier medium-effort build” and that “Prompt wording and follow-up requests varied between sessions, so the results are not a controlled test with equal time or token budgets.” All five games load and run.

Between them the author posted colour matching with GPT-6, the cost of one character (“About $24, plus GPT.”), hit effects designed in HTML previews, the full first-level roster and videos on the dryad’s effects and one day from idea to a flying unit. A reply on Day 17 names the game: “These are the workflows I’m using while building Overlord.” The second clip, from Day 19, shows the tree-like boss fighting a crowd of soldiers in blue in a forest.

A cosy farm game that mixes Blender-made 3D assets with 2D sprites, built with GPT-6.1 Sol
Chong-U (@chongdashu), X, 2026-10-04
The author writes “Finally got to take GPT 6.1 Sol for a spin.” and “Decided to mix 2D and 3D together for a cosy country escape experience.”, adding that it “was able to generate all the 3D assets” and “Worked well with Spriterrific for 2D sprites and custom animations.” The clip shows a 2D farmer walking and planting in a 3D farmyard with a cottage, crop beds and a round garden, then the steps: “Generate Mockup with GPT Images 2.5”, “Build the level in Blender” (from a grey blockout), “Craft a reusable prop kit”, “2D sprites by Spriterrific” (idle, walk, run, plant and water) and “Integrate everything using GPT 6.1 Sol”. Asked whether GPT made the 3D, the author replies “It made the assets in blender . No ThreeJS , just WebGPU/webgl”, and, asked which engine they used, the author says “I use my own custom engine with webgl, wasm and WebGPU”. Spriterrific is their own product (their reply: “That’s why I made Spriterrific!”).

The author writes “Ultrafast tastes like ultrascam… Bought GPT Pro for 500 USD, burnt 2x weekly limits and created this… what a bs…” and “I mean, Opus 5.5 for only one weekly limit created me whole MMO”, the game of M302. Asked which model they used with Ultra Fast, the author replied “Used GPT-6 Astra xHigh”, and another reply says “i provided with api to generate 3d, but it can’t”. The clip shows a boy with a lantern in a hut beside a long-haired old woman, foggy boardwalks across the swamp and an end screen, “HOME, BEFORE DAWN”. On 2026-10-08 the author posted the second attempt: “I asked GPT-6.1 Sol to make a third-person horror game in Unity. You’re lost in a foggy swamp with a house on chicken legs hunting you. The first Ultrafast attempt was a disaster.” Its clip sets the two versions side by side, labelled GPT 6.1 SOL and GPT 6 ASTRA ULTRA FAST, then follows the Sol version through reeds and dead trees, past a woman in white labelled Rusalka and flying birds, to a house on chicken legs walking in the fog.

Enactra AI writes “Our most realistic NYC simulation yet: Madison Square Park, reconstructed in Unreal Engine by Astra.” and “Watch it side by side with Google Earth.” The 35 s clip wipes between Google Earth and the rebuilt blocks around the Flatiron Building and the park, labelled as generated by GPT-6 Astra, then drives down the avenues at street level. On 2026-09-14 the city came back with people and traffic: “Added pedestrians & traffic to our earlier NYC city built by Astra.” and “Astra built the world. Now it’s playing in it, for about $0.40/min.” Its clip follows an Astra-controlled character through the crowd, into a car down the avenues and into the Flatiron Building. A reply explains “Astra takes an image and world metadata as input, and outputs the next waypoint or action which a controller executes in UE”, and another says “We used characters from matrix, but here they are controlled by GPT-6 Astra too”. On 2026-09-18 Astra played tag against Claude Fable 5.1 “in the NYC simulation Astra itself created”: three rounds in split screen through the streets, a plaza and the park, won 2 to 1 by Fable (“Watch Fable 5.1 beat Astra 2-1”); a reply adds “the game environment itself was created by Astra”.

Anatomy: a Claude Code skill that draws an idea as an interactive isometric machine
Ryan (@wheresryan22), X, 2026-10-03
Author: “I usually create my isometric wireframe SVGs by hand, but I wanted high-end results without spending hours on each one. So I created a custom AI skill by giving it my knowledge, process, and examples.” The author adds that “The results look really polished (small details needs to be fixed manually).” The clip steps through dark isometric figures in framed cards, each a small machine that stands for a rendering idea: a chest of drawers, a gantry plotter over a plate of wells, a pin-tumbler lock whose readout says “key matches · 0 draws”, a bed-of-nails stamp beside two combs, and a turntable under a lamp. In the following week the author adds WebGL shaders, a 3D mode and themes, and replies that “All renders has been one-shotted with Opus 5.5 Ultracode + the skill”. The author released it on 2026-10-10 as Anatomy: “Describe a machine in one line. Claude brings it to life.” The skill’s page gives Claude’s active time per figure, from 1 h 54 min for a watch movement to 10 h 33 min for a Raptor engine and 14 h for a turbofan, and says Claude “is very good at building these and not always good at seeing them”. Other people’s figures made with the skill are listed separately (M238 to M252).

LDraw Nova: an open-source app in which an agent designs LEGO models as LDraw files, with tooling built by GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5

The video’s description calls it “An open source app to generate your own LEGO© models using AI agents of your choosing!” and says the project had “mixed results, until both GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 came and gave a final push!” Per the README, the agent “Reads instructions.md”, plans the model, writes generator scripts that “produce LDraw source” and renders images to inspect and adjust it; the tools find parts and example models, check collisions and gaps, and render headless. The video shows a chat asking for a building, the agent’s thinking and prototypes, a choice of agents and providers in the settings, a gallery with a pagoda garden, a café and a crane, a replay of the build, the models in VR, export to Blender and the LDraw source with its parts list. Most commit messages begin with “Astra”; one credits example models to three: “Astra - cathedral, Opus 5 - copper bean cafe, GLM 5.2 - stadium”. The tool is listed under Agentic tools and integrations; other LDraw brick cases are M188 and I40.

So I asked it for the full size one ($30 billion)”, describing “a 50 m cryostat, 16 magnets at minus 269 °C, 3,000 MW of fusion” and every cable and pipe running to the cryoplant, magnet power supplies, steam generators, turbine and “a 500 kV line to a city”. A reply gives the fuel use as about 770 g of hydrogen a day for 1,000 MW on the grid and links the page; its clip shows the plasma inside the tokamak, the plant and a power line running to a city at night. The posts do not establish the physical accuracy of the models.

Humanoid robot you can take apart in the browser, with actuator loads
Konstantin Saifoulline (@konstantinsaifo), X, 2026-09-27
The author writes “I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain how a humanoid robot works by building one you can take apart in your browser” and “Hand it 20 kg and watch every actuator light up with the load, then pull one apart: a frameless motor, a strain wave gear and a crossed roller bearing, all inside a joint the size of your fist.” The clip shows the robot carrying a box with its joints coloured by load, readouts for power and knee torque, and an actuator separated into its parts. The loads are those of the browser model, not measurements of a real robot.

The Heart Attack You Can Touch: a beating 3D heart whose LAD can be blocked and reopened, prompted in Gemini Canvas and corrected by a physician

The author writes “I challenged Gemini 4 Argon to code a 3D beating heart: block the LAD, simulate an illustrative anterior STEMI, then restore flow with PCI.” and “I tested it and corrected clinical shortcuts.” The clip, a vertical capture of the app’s 25-second demo, shows the heart beating at 72 BPM with labels for the pulmonary artery, left atrium, right ventricle and anterior LV territory over a green ECG trace, a camera dive toward the proximal LAD, Scene 2 with the occluded “Proximal LAD” glowing, the heart rate at 94 BPM and a red trace labelled “Illustrative Anterior STEMI Pattern”, Scene 3 with “Restored via Stent” and a blue trace, and an end card reading “ONE ARTERY. MILLIONS OF CELLS. EVERY MINUTE MATTERS.” A reply links the live app (“Rotate and zoom. Tap BLOCK THE LAD → REPERFUSE, or play the 25-second cinematic demo.”) and calls it a “Physician-reviewed educational schematic—not a diagnostic ECG, patient-specific anatomy, or an infarct-risk calculator.” A second reply posts the prompt, which asks for “a WORKING, INTERACTIVE 3D WEB APPLICATION in Gemini Canvas” with three scenes and says “I am an internal-medicine physician evaluating Gemini 4 Argon’s visual coding, spatial reasoning, engineering, and scientific accuracy.” The live page, “THE HEART ATTACK YOU CAN TOUCH — Interactive 3D Clinical Simulation”, opens on Scene 1 with the demo, free-explore and scene buttons; it is the repository’s index.html, which loads Three.js r128. The repository README calls it “A procedural, interactive 3D educational heart visualization from a Gemini 4 Argon creative-engineering challenge, reviewed and corrected by a physician” and says it is “not a patient-specific anatomical reconstruction, diagnostic ECG, or validated fluid/biomechanical model”.

It took about 5.5 hours of agent time and roughly $54 in API cost.” The clip opens on a domed Mars city in 2061, shows an AI that “TRIES TO REWRITE ITS OWN LOG”, a panel of “200 simulated futures”, a “42 DAY SOLAR STORM”, and ends on “A MODEL OF A PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE”, “not a forecast”. Their earlier network explainer is M177.

An optical almond sorter in which a model judges every kernel in mid air, in the browser
Konstantin Saifoulline (@konstantinsaifo), X, 2026-10-11
The author writes “I used Opus 5.5 to build an almond sorter where a model judges every kernel in mid air: 1,183 decisions a second, 2 µs each. Switch it to a 400 ms model and watch the bad ones sail through with light speed.” The clip shows almonds flying off a belt with accept and reject labels, the sorter’s cabinet, the caption “A 400 ms model: the almond is gone before the answer”, and a low threshold that keeps every good almond. The page describes 192 air valves that fire on the model’s answer. The post does not establish the physical accuracy of the simulation.

The Heart Explorer: an interactive 3D human heart with its vessels and nerves, built by GPT-6 Astra from papers and atlas data
Enactra AI (@EnactraAI), X, 2026-09-11
Enactra AI writes “We built an interactive 3D heart with GPT‑6 Astra.” and “In 8 hours, Astra read 8 research papers, reviewed anatomical atlas and microscopy data, and interacted a bit with a human expert, to build 3 visual layers: anatomy, blood vessels, and nerves.” It reports “8,100 modeled vascular and neural branches, plus detailed valve leaflets, papillary muscles, and their supporting chordae.” The clip plays the page’s 38-second tour, “A JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEART”, from “01 / A world within” to “07 / The living architecture”: the vessel and nerve networks around the heart, the heart cut open to show the valve leaflets on their chordae, the coronary arteries on the outer wall with labels such as “Left main coronary artery (LMCA)”, and the nerve network on its own. A reply links the page, and another lists the sources: the base heart geometry and coronary vessel paths from “BodyParts3D / DBCLS → Z-Anatomy → Anatria3D”, a human microscopy dataset and the eight papers, adding “The fine vessels, nerve networks, and added valve apparatus are generated anatomical illustrations; their counts and connections are not measured whole-heart anatomy.” The live page, “COR — The living architecture”, has switches for the heart tissue, coronary arteries, cardiac veins and innervation layers and sliders for tissue opacity and section depth.

Chronoglobe’s Nile journey: a boat ride down the Nile in ancient Egypt, with eight stops that open short lessons
Shehnoor Ansari (@Noni_Shehnoor), X, 2026-09-08
Shehnoor Ansari writes “The Chronoglobe just got a MAJOR update.” and “I used Astra in @Replit to create another immersive era where you can travel in a boat down the River Nile in Ancient Egypt and learn about the importance of the Nile.”, adding “Time to use Astra to upgrade all my Eras”. The clip, seen from the bow of a wooden boat carrying pots and baskets, moves down a wide river past a stone temple, palm trees, fields, small figures on the banks and pyramids reflected in the water, with numbered markers along both banks; one marker opens a card headed “Plants with many uses” with a “Listen to Story” button and a paragraph about papyrus, and the screen shows “C. 1300 BCE” and a progress bar from departure to arrival. On the live site the ride is the third Giza era, “Life on the Nile” (“Climb aboard and sail past farms, villages and monuments. Discover why ancient Egypt depended on its river.”). Its intro card, “The Nile Journey”, says “This is a shortened, imagined route: buildings and places have been brought closer together. It is not a map of Giza.”; the boat is steered with “Hold Arrows or A D”, and the stops run from “A river that brought life” to “Too much or too little?”. The Chronoglobe itself was first posted on 2026-08-08 with “Only 2 civilisations available at the moment!” (Rome and Giza); the August posts do not name a model, so the Model field covers the Nile era only. Dilum Sanjaya’s koi canal boat ride (M352) credits the boat idea to one of their posts. The live site renders the ride with a bundled Three.js (r185) build; the post does not say how the palm model and the image textures that the page loads were made.

HydroFlume 3D: an open-channel flume with critical flow and hydraulic jumps, as a browser lab for undergraduates
taruma sakti (@tarumainfo), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “I asked Gemini 4 Argon on Gemini to create some interactive illustrations for hydraulics and hydrology.” and that the first, for open channel flow, shows “subcritical, critical, and supercritical flow” and “when a hydraulic jump happens”; “HydroFlume 3D is an interactive 3D virtual lab that lets students explore how water flows through an open channel.” The clip shows a glass flume whose water is coloured by flow regime, blue upstream and red where it races down past a bed weir into a white, foaming jump, with the scenarios “1. Weir & Jump”, “2. Sluice Gate”, “3. Mild Subcritical” and “4. Steep Supercritical”, sliders for flow rate, slope, weir height and tailwater, a probe readout, the labels “CRITICAL CONTROL (FR = 1.0)” and “HYDRAULIC JUMP”, and plots of the water-surface profile and the specific energy. A later post in the thread gives the prompt, which begins “Create an interactive 3D fluid mechanics simulation that visualizes open-channel flow transitioning between subcritical and supercritical regimes.”, and the follow-up asking for a cleaner interface: “This is for undergraduate students, so please keep the explanations brief and easy to follow.” The Gemini share link opens the app after a “Continue” screen, without signing in: “3D Open-Channel Hydraulics & Froude Regime Laboratory” (“HYDROFLUME 3D”, “Undergrad Lab”), loading Three.js r128.

The author writes “Built a real-time 3D Chicken Embryo Simulation (Day 1 to 21 Hatching) in Three.js using Gemini Argon 4!” and “Scrub through all 21 days, toggle candling & cutaway views, and test how live temperature changes affect heart rate and hatching”, with a Gemini share link. The post image, a screenshot of the Gemini canvas titled “Avian Embryogenesis Simulation” (with “Code”, “Preview” and “Download”), shows the egg cut open on day 10 (“Oral Aperture & Rapid CAM Expansion”): the air cell, the yellow yolk sac and the embryo among red blood vessels, with incubator controls on the left and a heart trace at “254” BPM on the right. The share link opens without signing in, after a notice that the app “was created by another person”, on “GALLUS-21 // 3D Embryonic Development & Incubation Simulator” (“Gallus gallus domesticus — 21-Day Ontogeny”): the egg can be shown as “Exterior Shell”, “Candling (SSS)” or “Anatomical Cutaway” and orbited, a bar of day buttons from 01 to 21 with “SIMULATE”, single-day steps and “DAY 21 HATCH” sets the stage, each day lists its milestones with the heart rate, embryo mass, gas exchange and air cell, and sliders set the temperature (from “35.0°C (Cold)” to “40.5°C (Hot)”), humidity, egg turning and ventilation; on day 21 a yellow chick breaks the cap off the shell (“DAY 21 ECLOSION: 3D CHICK BREAKING CAP & EMERGING”).

Cloudscape: a 3D cloud-watching simulator with a slider through 18 cloud types, how each forms and where to see it, and storm, rain and rainbow modes, built from a one-paragraph prompt in under 35 minutes
Soumya (@soumyadesign), X, 2026-10-14
The author, who works at Google, the model’s developer (profile: “Design @Google”), writes “An interactive 3D cloud stimulator built on @GeminiApp 4 Argon, @antigravity and @GoogleAIStudio, using Three.js and custom GLSL raymarching shaders.” and “It did it for me in less than 35 minutes”, and gives the prompt, which begins “Create a Three.js cloud watching website.” and asks for “nothing but a slider walking me through different types of clouds, and information about how it is formed”, “features like stimulating storm, rains, rainbow, etc.”, a pan to a bird’s-eye view from above, each cloud’s characteristics and “where it is found the most”, the Gilda Display or Newsreader serif and a UI kept “minimal, barebones, glassmorphic”. The clip, a screen recording of the app, starts on “Cumulus Humilis” and slides to “Altocumulus Lenticularis” (“Standing Mountain Wave Cloud · Orographic Flow”), a lens-shaped cloud above green hills and a winding river, with notes on how it forms on the left and “Where to Spot It”, a world map with three sites from “Torres del Paine, Patagonia” to “Owens Valley Sierra Wave, CA”, on the right; switching on “Storm” and “Rain” greys the sky, “Rainbow” adds a rainbow, the light changes with the time of day, and the slider moves on to “Cumulus Pileus”, a cap cloud over a cumulus tower, at sunset and by day. Shortly after the author added “A win for any model is how well it processes the most basic, conversational prompts and transforms it into exactly what the user wants in as few iterations as possible.” and “I strongly believe this was one of those explorations for me.” The live page, “Cloudscape — A Cloud Watching Weather Simulator”, opens on “Cumulus Humilis” over the same valley; its slider runs through 18 cloud types from “Cumulus Humilis” to “Noctilucent Mesospheric”, each with notes on how it forms, its characteristics, lifting mechanism, composition and altitude band and three sites with a “Match” score, and its buttons switch to a “Bird’s-Eye View”, a storm in which a click on the sky strikes lightning, rain, a rainbow, four times of day from “Noon Sun” to “Alpine Dawn” and sound. Its bundled script includes Three.js r128 and a GLSL shader with volumetric density profiles for the 18 cloud types and a raymarched valley; it loads a world-map outline and no image, model or sound files. The cloud notes are the page’s own text; the post does not say they were checked.

The company writes “Wildly impressed at the ease and power Claude brings to Blender via the vanilla/base MCP.” and “Yesterday we built a procedural lipid bilayer with a cross-section system. Claude Code CLI ran the tools and Python directly in Blender for the ENTIRE build — mesh, lights, shaders, camera controls, null rigging, animation, all of it.” On the model, it says the subject “immediately flagged us out of using Fable, so this is mostly Opus, maybe a smidge of Sonnet.” It adds that “the file size is just 296kb”, that “it created controls and surfaced them for almost each touch point in the design”, and that “We added the animated/fly away lipid deconstruction”. The three images show a cut-away render of the lipid sphere, a comparison of three base-mesh distributions (icosphere, Fibonacci golden angle and Poisson disk, which the post calls “always the clear winner”), and the Blender viewport with a custom Lipid Bilayer control panel while the lipids fly apart.

The phone screen recording opens a page titled “Flexible Riser Lay” with a card, “Fig 1 · Flexible riser · vertical lay”: a lay tower on a ship pays a flexible pipe down through the moonpool, and the readout runs from “landed on the wellhead · 2,200 m · 178 t” to “hung off · ready for pull-in · 3,850 m · 340 t”; the caption gives “The riser: 3,850 m of 8-inch flexible pipe”. Posted in reply to the Anatomy launch post; the post does not say who made the figure or how, and the figure does not appear anywhere else, so the author is inferred from the reply.

F1 concept car assembled in FreeCAD from three concept images, with drawings and source

Maki’s post pairs Opus 5.5 with FreeCAD, and its four images show the finished assembly in FreeCAD beside the three concept images of a fictional F1 car, AURORA A1, that the author made. The author’s article gives the request as “このF1マシンのアッシーモデルを完璧に再現して” (translated: reproduce this F1 car’s assembly model perfectly) and says Claude Code drove FreeCAD 1.1.3 through FreeCAD MCP for about a day, producing “84部品・12サブアセンブリ” (84 parts in 12 subassemblies) with a STEP export, eleven A3 drawings with sections and a parts list, and two making-of videos. The model is generated by one parametric Python script. The article notes that the iridescent paint, sponsor logos and small aerodynamic parts were left out and that dimensions missing from the concept sheet were estimated from the images. The repository also links a browser racing game that uses the exported model.

Race-car suspension rocker redesigned from FEA results, 209.2 g to 85.4 g
John Cusack, LinkedIn, 2026-09-11
The author connected Astra to “SolidMind CAD, the open-source project I’ve been building to give LLMs access to FreeCAD, simulation, and an iterative engineering loop”, and gave it a rocker with fixed mounting points, a material, loads and structural requirements. “The first design it analyzed weighed 209.2 g and had a factor of safety of 12.73. The requirement was 2.5.” “Astra used the FEA results to redesign it, changing the uniform 18 mm section into a 6 mm web”, reaching “85.4 g / 59% lighter / Factor of safety: 4.82”, and then “ran a finer FEA verification on the final design.” The author adds that “Astra wasn’t doing the finite-element math itself”: Gmsh meshed and CalculiX solved. The image, labelled “GPT-6 Astra × SolidMind CAD”, compares the two designs. The repository holds the tools, not this run.

Then it cut the engine open and ran the air through it.” The clip shows a labelled exploded view (nacelle, fan, booster, compressor stages, combustor, turbines, gearbox, FADEC), the assembled engine, a transparent case and a cutaway in which the bypass air flows blue and the core orange. A reply explains that “Most of the air never sees fire” and says “Blue is cold, orange is hot. Rendered flow, not CFD.” The STEP file is not shared. A separate turbofan explainer by another author is M337.

AssemblyWorld: GPT-6 Astra in Codex assembles an IKEA bench from its manual in a 3D environment
Jiahao Zhang, LinkedIn, 2026-10-02
The author asks “Can a general-purpose AI Agent assemble IKEA furniture by reading the manual?” and writes that in AssemblyWorld “GPT-6 Astra + Codex inspects rendered 2D views and manipulates parts in a 3D environment—without assembly-specific fine-tuning.” “On the full IKEA-Manual dataset, it reaches 100% SCD-based success rate, compared with 69.6% for AssemLM (arXiv 2026) and 54.9% for Manual-PA (ICCV 2025).” The video follows a recorded bench assembly, from scattered parts and the manual page through adding the stretcher to turning the bench upright, then shows the comparison charts. In the paper’s AssemblyWorldBench of 100 tasks, GPT-6 Astra has the highest overall complete-assembly success of eight agent systems, 59.4%; results are in Benchmarks and the paper under Related research.

The author writes “this LEGO car was made by claude opus5.5! The doors/trunk opening is simulated and verified, and every lego attachment is valid, so you can just go and build it today!” A reply points to the author’s new Danish Bricks Builder app (“you can try this yourself in the new app”), “only available for mac rn”. The clip shows the model fiat-500-with-minifigs.ldr in that app with Claude Code selected as the builder; its bodies tab reads “57 rigid bodies in 288 parts: 17 assemblies and 40 single parts. They are held together by 25 joints that can turn”. The agent’s notes on screen list where the model departs from real bricks: the bonnet and tailgate hinges have “a pin on the right side only”, because “With a pin on both sides the motion tool treated the panel as locked”, so “in real bricks you would add the second pin”; and “nothing supports the front edge of the bonnet when closed”. A later post the same day, “LEGO AGI achieved internally”, shows an escalator model in the same app with its gear trains checked; it names no model. The app’s site states “The application code is not public.”

Jay Chooi introduces results “Across 360 robotics trials” on six adapted manipulation tasks. The footage shows physical robot arms, and Robocurve’s report separates mean partial progress from full task completion. The report compares Opus 5.5, Opus 5 and GPT-6 Astra at medium effort; its figures appear in Benchmarks. This adaptation is separate from the RoboDojo team’s own benchmark results.
Model: Multi-model (GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Opus 5 at medium effort; the follow-up adds GPT-6 Sol and GPT-5.6 Sol at high effort with Fast mode; the 2026-10-07 chart adds Gemini 3.8 Flash and GPT-6.1 Sol; the 2026-10-14 thread adds Gemini 4 Argon at high effort) · Code: robocurve/inspect-robots (MIT robot evaluation harness; the reports publish task definitions, scoring rubrics and trial traces, but a complete RoboDojo-RC task implementation and exact run configuration are not included in this repository) · Tools: Inspect Robots; I2RT YAM bimanual arms · Archived copy: video, 10 s
Follow-up: Jay Chooi (@chooi_jeq) (X, 2026-09-24): the same comparison on X, two and a half minutes before the LinkedIn post: “On robotics tasks, GPT-6 Sol scores 1.6x as high as GPT-5.6 Sol and is 47% cheaper, but sits below the Pareto frontier under Opus 5.5.” A reply releases “all 720 traces”.
Follow-up: Jay C. (LinkedIn, 2026-09-24): The author reports a further comparison of GPT-6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-6 Astra at high reasoning effort with Fast mode, and releases all 720 traces across the configurations. That release includes earlier trials. The reports use different effort and pricing settings for the Opus comparison, so they do not establish a matched Opus-versus-Sol comparison.

Follow-up: Jay Chooi (@chooi_jeq) (X, 2026-10-07): “The best LLM score on a real-robot benchmark, RoboDojo-RC Tier 1, rose from 15% to 43% in 2 months, with best scores set by GPT-5.6 Sol, Gemini 3.8 Flash, and GPT-6 Astra.” The chart plots mean task progress over 120 attempts (6 tasks) against model release date, at high reasoning effort, with GPT-6 Astra (high) highest; a reply releases “all 960 robot runs”. Archived copy: chart
Follow-up: Jay Chooi (@chooi_jeq) (X, 2026-10-13): “Frontier LLM scores on a real robot benchmark doubled every 6 weeks, from 15% in July to 48% in September 2026.” The chart plots mean task score on a log scale against model release date, with a dashed exponential fit through the record setters from GPT-5.6 Sol (H) to GPT-6 Astra (H+UF) and Opus 5.5 (XH).

EmbodiedSWE: simulated IKEA table assembly
Zeyu Shen (@Zeyu_Shen_yo), X, 2026-09-24
Zeyu Shen writes “On an IKEA table assembly task, Fable 5.1 and Opus 5 fail, while Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra both succeed.” The four-panel video shows simulated arms assembling table legs, alongside an image of the generated solutions. The author judges Opus faster and Astra’s trajectory cleaner and safer; these are observations about the shown runs. The project page identifies the benchmark as simulation; its separate policy-transfer experiments do not make this clip a physical trial.

Zechen Bai asks whether “a strong robot policy” could “already be hiding inside your VLM” and presents “an Embodied Harness that lets VLMs play real robots” that works “like Claude Code for robotics.” The video collects real-arm clips, including a two-arm clothing task and a chess move. The project page reports that models run through the harness succeed more often than the robot policies it is compared with, both on new tasks and when moved to a different robot.

Reins: GPT-6 drives real robot arms from plain language, six tasks
Pengfei Ye, LinkedIn, 2026-09-28
Pengfei Ye open-sources Reins, “a harness that lets a frontier model drive real robot arms from plain language”, with “No demonstrations. No training. No task-specific code”. The post reports 5/5 on blocks into a drawer, wiping a whiteboard, stacking a 6-brick pyramid, turning on a lamp and the shell game, and 4/5 on folding cloths, all “with GPT-6 at medium reasoning effort, for under $1 per minute of robot time.” The video shows each task, sped up as marked on screen.

URAI: frontier agents write robot tools, and GPT-6 Astra calls them on a real dual-arm robot
Shijia Ge, Hongcheng Gao and colleagues, arXiv, 2026-09-30
The project page says “Models build executable tools, code handles multi-phase motions, and models decide what to do next.” Claude Fable 5.1 in Claude Code writes and revises the robot tools with human guidance (Claude Opus 5.5 for one pouring tool). An execution agent then picks one tool and its arguments per call, and each call runs a whole motion locally. The paper: “Seven tabletop tasks are run (Figure 3), all with GPT-6 Astra as the execution agent calling URAI tools.” The page videos show a real AgileX PiPER-X dual-arm robot playing tic-tac-toe against a person and unscrewing a bottle cap with two arms. The paper reports 3/3 on tic-tac-toe, bottle cap and block into bowl, and 10/10, 10/10, 8/10 and 7/10 on hot-dog serving, pouring blocks, folding clothes and tossing blocks into a bowl. In five RoboDojo simulation tasks with four execution agents, success rises from 18.0% with direct fingertip control to 53.0% with the tools. The trial counts are small. No announcement post by the authors was found, so the paper is the source.

RoboDojo: embodied-agent evaluation in simulation and on real robots
Tianxing Chen (@MarioChan2002), X, 2026-09-16
The RoboDojo team’s evaluation: RoboDojo Sim and Real (compared with GPT-5.5 and DeepSeek-Flash), humanoid high-level control, dexterous piano playing with RoboPianist, and a systematic in-context-learning study. Their takeaway: “remarkably strong semantic and spatial understanding, together with impressive in-context adaptation”, while “physical commonsense remains a clear bottleneck”.

Astra on RoboMME: an Astra planner with a small monitor and a π0.5 VLA
Bingao Chen (@bingao_chen), X, 2026-09-21
Bingao Chen splits the work in three: Astra picks the next subtask, a fine-tuned π0.5 VLA carries it out, and a small fine-tuned Qwen3-VL model checks when the subtask is done, so Astra is consulted only a few times per episode rather than before every move. The author reports “79.13% success” with “3.63 Astra calls per episode” on the RoboMME memory benchmark’s official test episodes. The video pairs the results chart with simulated rollouts; the work is joint with Haoquan Fang and C. Karen Liu.

RoboDawn: a frozen VLM drives robot arms with move, rotate and grip commands
Jiapeng Zhang (@JiapengZha233), X, 2026-09-19
Author: “Introducing our work: RoboDawn 🌅 A VLM controls robots with zero robot training.” The post adds “one demo lifts RoboTwin with GPT-6-Astra 2.0 53.2% → 73.6%, RoboDojo 35.67% → 47.17%”. In the paper by Meng-Hao Guo and colleagues (Tsinghua University and Tencent Hunyuan), the model gets a small set of commands such as left move z -5 and left gripper close. Each turn it sees the cameras and the robot state, writes a short plan, sends a few commands and reads the result; zero or one recorded demonstration is given in context. On simulated RoboTwin 2.0, π0.5 trained on the full set reaches 46.0%. The clip shows the result charts, recorded RoboDojo sessions with the agent trace, and a real-robot section labelled “AgileX Piper · Gemini 3.8 Flash”. The paper’s real-robot trials used Gemini 3.8 Flash, not Astra: block in basket 9/10 and block stacking 5/10 on a Franka arm, cloth folding 0/10 on a Piper. The project site replays the evaluation episodes; it is a recording, not a live robot.

Push Ball on a real arm: Claude Haiku 5.5 improves with more thinking, GPT-6 Luna does not
Jay Chooi (@chooi_jeq), X, 2026-10-09
Author: “On a simple robot task, Haiku 5.5 more than triples its success rate with more thinking. GPT-6 Luna stays near zero.” In Robocurve’s released runs, 20 per model and thinking setting on a real arm that must hit a red ball, Claude Haiku 5.5 hits it in 4, 10 and 13 of 20 attempts with no, low and high thinking, and GPT-6 Luna in 2, 1 and 1. A reply breaks the attempts into hits, timeouts, give-ups and hallucinated hits: “With more thinking, Haiku 5.5 hallucinates less. GPT-6 Luna hallucinates more or times out”, and another releases “all 120 runs with full transcripts and videos”. The clip sets the success-rate-against-cost chart beside camera views labelled HIT and MISS. Robocurve’s other tests on the same arms are R01, R37 and R13.

SpatialHarness: a live MuJoCo twin gives GPT-6 Astra extra views of a real Franka arm
Jiayu Wang, Yue Yu, Bin Zhu, Zhiyao Yang and Jingjing Chen, arXiv, 2026-10-08
The paper keeps a MuJoCo copy of the scene in step with a real Franka Research 3 arm and renders “two virtual RGB views” for the manipulation model, GPT-6 Astra at low reasoning effort, with the viewpoints chosen before each task by GPT-6 Astra at xhigh effort; both the baseline and SpatialHarness run through Robocurve’s Inspect Robots. Over 15 trials per task and method, success rose from 4/15 to 10/15 on plug insertion, 0/15 to 15/15 on a Tower of Hanoi placement, 0/15 to 10/15 on block in drawer and 7/15 to 15/15 on block stacking. The project page replays the trials, and its code button reads “Coming soon”. No announcement post by the authors was found, so the paper is the source.

TacZero: GPT-6 Astra reads a tactile sensor and inserts a peg on a real arm, with no tactile training
Kazutoshi Tanaka (OMRON SINIC X), arXiv, 2026-10-06
The paper asks whether “a pretrained general-purpose VLM” can “infer contact conditions from visual and tactile observations and select actions to perform peg insertion without additional tactile or manipulation training or hand-designed task-specific rules”. The robot is a six-axis arm with the joint layout of the ALOHA follower arm, a XELA uSkin tactile sensor on one finger and an overhead RealSense camera; GPT-6 Astra at medium reasoning effort returns one tool call per step, “move_to(x, y, z, gripper, note)”, until it reports completion. With the tactile readings given as numbers, the cylinder went in on 15 of 20 trials, against 10 of 20 with no tactile input and 11 of 20 with the readings drawn over the image; a rectangular peg succeeded on 5 of 10, and Claude Fable 5.1 on the cylinder on 2 of 10. “The estimated API cost across all 80 trials was USD 1,369.85.” The lab’s 171 s video shows the gripper lowering a purple peg into a green fixture. No code is released, and no announcement post by the author was found, so the paper is the source.

Yassine Yousfi writes “I gave astra a robot and asked it to push a red box” and links the code; a reply adds that an MCP server was needed for the command “codex move the red box”. The repository drives an SO-101 arm watched by an Insta360 camera through OpenAI function calling, with a MuJoCo replica of the rig and the red-box task. No footage of the run is attached, and the posts do not say whether the run was on the real arm or in simulation.

The author asks “How does one learn about the physical properties of an unknown object? A physicist would conduct an experiment, and so does Astra”, showing what it does “when prompted “find center of mass position””. A reply explains that the block “has uneven mass distribution” and that “Astra planned a balancing experiment with the given setup, conducted the experiment, verified its result, and reported its findings. Only minimal instructions to use SDK and camera were supplied.” A second reply shows a failure case and notes that “Astra is still having problem with experiments on more complicated objects”. The clip, sped up 15×, shows a desktop robot arm repeatedly picking up a red block and setting it on a small support, watched by a fixed camera.

The clip, at 15× speed, steps through scooping coffee powder, pouring it into a cup, adding water and stirring; subtitles note a retry after a dropped spoon. The same developers’ cucumber demonstration is listed separately. The toolchain code is not public.

A robot arm plugs in an ethernet cable after two hours
Kaifeng Zhang (@kaiwynd), X, 2026-09-14
Author: “Gave GPT-6 Astra the task to plug in an ethernet cable. It did it after 2 hours and 4 human prompt interventions.” The author adds that “speed is still a big problem with agentic robotic systems, since deep reasoning via 3D programs is an integral part of this pipeline”. The clip shows a Franka arm picking up and reorienting a blue ethernet cable on a cluttered desk; a title card explains that while the camera was off, “the robot tried to reorient the cable using the cabinet, but failed and switched to the other end of the cable.” The same author’s keyboard-typing run is listed separately.

Two real arms pull a red cup out of a purple one with only the low-level robot SDK, planned by GPT-6 Astra
Wentao Zhu (@walterzhu8), X, 2026-09-16
The post is “GPT-6 Astra test 3/n”, with the task “Pull out the red cup while keeping the purple cup upright.” and “No policy model involved. The agent was given only the low-level robot SDK and planned the bimanual coordination, active vision, and error recovery entirely on its own.” It credits their student Tianyi Wang. The head-mounted camera view, sped up 50×, shows one arm holding the purple cup while the other lifts the red cup out and sets it down on the table; the purple cup stays upright. A reply says “It took about 30 minutes. The clip is one continuous head-mounted camera recording: the original runs 29:49, sped up 50x to 36 seconds.” The other tests in the series are test 1, test 2 and test 4.

Evolving dexterity: Astra spins a pen, turns a Rubik’s cube and swings a hammer in simulation, zero-shot and after training
Jianglong Ye (@jianglong_ye), X, 2026-09-17
Author: “Evolving dexterity with GPT-6 Astra 🖐️ Been trying Astra recently. Its zero-shot dexterous manipulation is already quite surprising. More interesting is seeing it learn and improve through simulation training, from pen spinning and Rubik’s Cube to hammer use.” The clip compares zero-shot and trained runs: a Sharpa Wave hand spinning a pen in Isaac Sim, Wuji hands turning a Rubik’s cube in MuJoCo, and a Sharpa hand on an arm hammering a nail. The repository describes the zero-shot pen run as a “sampled finger-keyframe planner” and the trained one as a “PPO policy: 3 turns and a hold”; the zero-shot cube controller manages “two moves”, and the trained one-hand cube policy “solves U F L”. It calls itself “the final artifacts from my Astra experiments, rather than a task-specific harness or benchmark provided to Astra”, and reports no success rate. All runs are in simulation; the author adds “The real goal would be to evolve this dexterity in the real world.” A different team’s Sharpa pen-spinning run is R12.

Picasso’s dove drawn by a Shadow Hand on a Kinova arm in MuJoCo

Author: “i’ve seen GPT-6 Astra draw in Paint, how about drawing with a robot in a physics simulation? asked it to build a MuJoCo setup and write a controller to draw Picasso’s dove using a robot arm and a five-fingered hand”. In the thread the author writes that “the pencil is held by pressure and friction against the hand, with every mark coming from simulated tip–paper contact”, that “the setup combines two existing robot models: a Kinova Gen3 arm and a Shadow Hand”, and that “GPT defaulted to using 2 fingers although I provided it with a 5-fingered hand, i suspect that the model is biased towards standard claw-gripper usage”. The clip, sped up 4×, shows the thumb and index finger holding the pencil as the arm traces the dove beside the reference. The repository’s README for the experiment reports “nine strokes in 173 simulated seconds” with a median tip-to-path distance of 0.149 mm for the published run.

Astra as a direct closed-loop policy for grippers and dexterous hands in simulation: mostly failures, all recorded
Vinit Awale (TheShiningVampire/astra-manipulation), GitHub, 2026-09-28
No announcement post was found; the repository, with its videos and per-call records, is the source. At every decision GPT-6 Astra “receives camera images, measured robot proprioception, a language instruction, static actuator documentation, and its recent actions” and returns a bounded actuator vector; “There is no learned manipulation policy, object-state oracle, grasp planner, or high-level skill executing the task for Astra.” The simulation pauses while the model reasons. On four DexArt tasks with an Allegro hand it records “0/4 native benchmark successes”, although the toilet lid was visibly opened. A ten-task MuJoCo pilot with a Panda gripper and the Adroit Shadow hand ends with “0/10 completed goals”; the hand opened its door “approximately 62° against a 77° threshold”. Two gripper cube lifts and a separate PyBullet reach and pick-and-place succeeded. The author writes: “These are one-off trials, not a general capability estimate.”

The AI spotted the hand through a USB camera, found the serial port, connected to the firmware, and started running gestures… fist, peace sign, open palm”. The hand is TetherIA’s Aero Hand Open, with “16 joints across 5 fingers driven by 7 actuators”. “The whole loop is camera-verified. The LLM sends a gesture command, then checks the camera feed to confirm the hand actually moved.” The post shows photos and Telegram chat screenshots of the agent at work, with the hand making a fist and a peace sign; there is no video, and the agent setup is not published.

TALOS: a tendon-driven hand with 24 actuated joints and its motors in the forearm, designed by Claude Opus 5.5

The author writes “I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to redo its robot hand with every joint a human hand has. 24 joints, 24 actuators, 25 tendons, 976 parts. All the motors live in the forearm, in two stages. Then it moved one joint at a time and showed which motor pulls which cable.” The clip labels each joint with its range and drive (for example “INDEX MCP ABDUCTION” and “THUMB CMC FLEXION”), shows the forearm actuators in an inset, lists “joints 24, all actuated”, “tendons 25”, “parts 976” and “hand 1.14 kg, with forearm 2.83 kg”, and ends with counting gestures and an “OK sign”. A reply says the actuator travel in the inset is “computed from the joint angle and the pulley radius in the model.” The post speaks of redoing an earlier hand that does not appear in their posts; the design is shown only in their renderer.

A later post notes that “The same Astra base model produced better robots through one-shot generation and verifier-guided refinement than when given open-ended access to the full simulation.” In the paper (Kushagra Tiwary, David Mayo and colleagues, MIT CSAIL), “VGH achieves the highest reported Elo for 15 of the 21 models, including GPT-6 Astra (1539), Claude Fable 5.1 (1310), and Gemini 3.8 Flash (1223)”, and among the top three artifacts of each model and harness, “the highest-rated artifact which was created by GPT-6 Astra using VGH, wins 91% of matches”; results are in Benchmarks.

MechFaber: a 99-part lidar quadruped designed by Claude Code, its firmware run against a MuJoCo model of the same machine
Gunpal Jain (u/SpeedyBrowser45), Reddit r/robotics, 2026-09-20
The author writes that the quadruped, with “12 actuators, lidar, 99 parts, was designed end to end by AI agents, including its firmware”, using “Separate agents per task: research and calculations, CAD, electronics, firmware, simulation”. The firmware “compiles with the real ARM toolchain, runs on an emulated MCU in Renode, and steps in lockstep with MuJoCo running the physics of the machine it designed.” The author adds: “the electrical check is DC steady state only (no inrush, EMI, connector ratings), and the sim isn’t validated against physical hardware yet.” The video shows the design in the MechFaber app, the firmware and the simulated robot on a ramp and obstacle course that Claude Code builds on request; its terminal banner reads “Claude Code v2.1.277 / Opus 5 (1M context) with low effort”. The design engine is closed; the published design can be viewed and cloned in the MechFaber library.

A 6-DOF desktop arm designed in MechFaber sets up a chess board in simulation, running its own firmware
Gunpal Jain (u/SpeedyBrowser45), Reddit r/robotics, 2026-10-03
The author describes “a 6-DOF desktop arm I’ve been designing in MechFaber”, “not built yet, this is the actual firmware running in an emulator against the physics sim, no PC in the loop”. It takes one frame from an overhead camera, finds the board, identifies each loose piece by its height, places it and checks it again. The author lists what broke along the way and writes “best run so far was 31/32” and “firmware was mostly written with AI agents and then tested against the sim.” The clip shows the simulated arm setting up the board at sped-up rates. Their quadruped is listed separately.

Robot dog designed in Fusion 360 and trained through 25 RL loops in 5 days
Akira Sasaki (@gclue_akira), X, 2026-09-11
Translated from Japanese: 25 loops in 5 days with GPT-6 Astra, from a toddling gait to 9 motions learned by reinforcement learning; the robot-dog design was also done by Astra in Fusion 360 (QDD RS05, Makita 40 V battery and a Jetson board assumed); problems found in each loop were fixed in turn; from loop 30 the plan is to debug on the physical robot; Astra produced the STL data, and fitting the dimensions and deploying in the next five loops is human work done under Astra’s instructions.

KAIJU: a robot dog designed part by part, with cables and a path planner, then given an arm and sensors
Konstantin Saifoulline (@konstantinsaifo), X, 2026-10-06
The author writes “Claude Opus 5.5 designed a robot dog from scratch. Every part, every wire, the path planner. 618 parts. 62 cable runs, each one going to a real connector.” The clip opens on an exploded view of the parts, then shows the dog walking between crates, barrels and cones over an occupancy grid with its planned path; when a crate drops in its way the overlay reads “NEW OBSTACLE, REPLANNED IN 9 MS”. A reply shows “the same dog in a physics sim with no balance controller”, falling over, and says “Making it walk on its own is the hard part. That is why real robot dogs run MPC or a trained policy. That is next.” Two days later the author opened it in a CAD viewer and typed “Add an arm with a gripper on the back so it can pick things up”: “Claude Fable 5.1 read the design, picked the motors, routed the cables, rebuilt all 779 parts and exported the STEP file. Then it picked up a toolbox.” Their reply separates “What is real: the STEP file, the part tree, the masses, the harness, the inverse kinematics” from “the pick is a scripted motion preview, not physics.” On 2026-10-11 the dog walks in a physics simulation with sensors: “I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to give my robot dog a lidar, two depth cameras and a brain that walks it in a physics sim. It took 8h and $94.32 in API cost with Opus 5.5 on medium”; the stack is build123d (625 parts, 29 kg), MuJoCo with a convex MPC trot controller, a simulated Mid-360 lidar and two D435i cameras, A*, MPPI and footstep scoring. That clip shows the dog crossing a construction yard with depth images and candidate footholds on a flight of steps. Other robot bodies designed by models are listed in this subsection; the author’s spider is I38.

The author writes “I asked Claude Opus 5.5 for a 6 axis industrial robot arm. 10 kg payload, 1.3 m reach, every cable routed. It designed 480 parts, six strain wave actuators, the gripper, the controller cabinet, and the harness through every hollow joint. Then it picked a bracket off a conveyor.” The clip starts with a labelled exploded view (joints J1 to J6 with their gearboxes, the harness, the controller cabinet, a two-finger gripper and a wrist camera) next to the totals “parts 480”, “arm mass 39.5 kg” and “reach 1.31 m”, picks a bracket from a conveyor, and ends on an X-ray view of 90 wire runs through six hollow joints. A reply adds “Every one of the 480 parts has a name, a material and a mass” and “The STEP opens in Fusion, SolidWorks, Onshape or FreeCAD.” The STEP file is not shared, and the pick is not shown as a physics simulation.

The author writes “I gave Claude Haiku 5.5 the same task as Opus: design a self-balancing robot from scratch. 108 solids, 4.20 kg, two hub-motor wheels, a 2 mm shell, and a pitch loop I could simulate. After a forward shove and a backward shove, the simulated robot’s pitch peaked at 11 degrees and came back inside half a degree in 3.7 seconds.” The clip shows the box-shaped body on two wheels, an exploded view, an X-ray of the wiring and a pitch plot during two pushes, with the captions “Nothing here is measured on hardware” and “The hardware is not built yet.” The replies say the robot was “Built procedurally in build123d (OpenCascade)” with every dimension in one design file, and give the controller: “LQR on the linearised pitch model, using the mass, centre-of-mass height and inertia from the CAD”, integrated at 2 kHz with the controller at 500 Hz.

The author writes “This crab robot is open source so we made it 2.5x bigger (39 kg and 22 joints). 100% made by Opus 5.5”, quoting another account’s post about the open-source Jumper robot. A reply says “Every part is real CAD, built in code by Claude Opus 5.5. 932 parts, 22 joints, 39.5 kg, 88 wire runs. Same joint layout and default pose as the original Jumper, every position scaled 2.5x”, and another credits the original robot by @zhiyishou and KingKong Robotics (Apache 2.0).

Watch what it does with its body.” The clip shows the red and black wheeled modules moving in lateral undulation over an occupancy grid, an overlay reading “NARROW DUCT, GAIT SWITCH: CONCERTINA”, and the robot entering the duct. A reply explains the map: “25 mm grid, every obstacle grown by 170 mm so the wiggle fits. An I-beam that was not on the map shows up, A* replans in 12 ms. A block drops on the path, 7.1 ms.”

In the clip, the Codex app’s model selector reads “GPT-6.1 S… High”. In the tom-cad project, the author first asks “these parts are up to date based on the tom2_600mm model?” and then “Get the parts ready in SendCutSend. Ensure all services (bends, tapping, etc) are added correctly. We are using aluminium 5052. Do not order.” The agent then works through SendCutSend’s site part by part, choosing finishes and services and adding each to the cart, beside a CAD view of a clamp-mounted arm with servos and a camera. A reply says “this is actually the 4th (and hopefully final) revision! last one was almost there, but the wrist kinematics were off” and “planning to lock in a design and sell these as kits before EOY”; another points to text-to-cad (I32).

Manda’s verdict is “GPT-6 Astra generates the best zero-shot Real2Sim assets tested against Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1. It’s also the most expensive.” The team describes giving models about 20 iPhone captures to create NVIDIA Isaac Sim assets.

Two robot arms tie a shoelace after one human video

Brandon Yifan Yang writes “I wanted to see how far GPT-6 Astra could go without a specialized robot policy on a hard manipulation task: shoe tying.” The author reports “First attempt failed. With prompting alone, the agent couldn’t coordinate the two arms.” For the second attempt “I gave it a video of myself tying the knot and told it to mimic my movements. It worked.” The author describes “a custom harness that lets the agent choose its own action space, from joint positions to 6-DoF end-effector control. The model directly outputs the raw numerical commands with no external robot policy.” The sped-up clip shows a top-down view, two wrist cameras and, in an inset, the human demonstration video; an on-screen timer runs for about 85 minutes. Two arms work the laces of a red shoe and end with the laces knotted and pulled tight. The harness code is not public.

USDCraft: GPT-6 Astra writes articulated, simulation-ready assets from scans, and policies trained on them transfer to real objects
Chuanrui Zhang, Zaijia Yang, Duomin Wang, Lu Shi, Daquan Zhou, Ruihua Zhang and Ziwei Wang (NVIDIA, NTU, PKU), arXiv, 2026-10-08
The paper introduces “a framework in which a pretrained LLM writes and revises executable programs for simulation-ready articulated assets without task-specific training”, producing USD assets “that load into Isaac Sim without manual adjustment”. It turns the source mesh into “a metric textual description that distinguishes observed surface from unknown space” and rechecks each candidate the same way. The main runs use GPT-6 Astra at low reasoning effort and GPT-5.6 Sol at high effort. For drawer opening, toaster-lever pressing and toaster switching, Diffusion Policy was trained on 200 simulated demonstrations per asset and tested on the real objects: “USDCraft loses at most 10 points on any task, whereas Articraft, built from the image alone, loses 60–80 points”. The project page’s clips show a fly-through of generated assets and a real arm pressing a toaster lever. No code has been released, and no announcement post by the authors was found, so the paper is the source.

BOTticelli: an SO-101 arm learns to draw through real-to-sim practice
Eric Mao (@EricMao06), X, 2026-09-15
Eric Mao writes that they “decided to teach astra + SO-101 arm (we’ll call him BOTticelli) to draw”, and that “Through a series of real2sim2real training, calibration tricks, astra went from not being able to draw coherent shapes on Friday night to plausibly doodling better than me by Sunday.” In the thread the author explains that Astra had only two webcams for measurement and “tuned its control script” until the pen tip landed in two hand-drawn boxes, then was asked “to convert its real setup to a Mujuco simulation then self tune the parameters until it narrowed the sim2real gap.” The video shows prompts such as “draw me all 7 wonders of the world”, overhead and side views of the arm drawing with a taped pen, a first-try versus latest-try comparison, and MuJoCo passes labelled “Trajectory optimization, not model weight training”. The author credits @cdngdev’s painting run as the inspiration. The code is not public.

The clip, labelled “8 cm step | 29 joint targets | 50 Hz simulated control | physics paused during inference” and “Exact numerical state + stair geometry supplied; no camera input”, shows the robot setting a foot on the step and then, once its decisions stop and the last targets are held, falling.

Carry the block in MuJoCo: TypeSafe’s Jev as a real-time arm policy, then GPT-6 Luna from camera views
Dmytro Hrybov (@dimentary), X, 2026-09-18
Author: “tested Jev as a real-time robotics policy in MuJoCo”, “it struggled at first, so i split each update into two calls: decide what to do next, then decide how to move the arm and gripper”, and “Jev doesn’t accept images, it gets simplified geometry and contacts as text here”. The clip, “Jev, carry the block.” at “3.2 updates/s” with “no images”, shows the arm carrying a small cube over a divider, with panels for the text input and the model’s output probabilities, and ends “Replay complete · placed, released, and withdrawn”. Their AnyAct colleague H writes that “Astra wrote the environment and Jev acted as the policy.” On 2026-10-08 the author reran it with “the decisions api based on gpt-6 luna”, “this time feeding it actual camera views”: “it grasped the cube and carried it across the divider but couldn’t put it in the right spot”. TypeSafe’s Jev is also among the drivers in Nav Arena.

Robo Olympics: G1 humanoids in simulated sports, with controllers GPT-6 Astra built and refined in physics trials
Tae Kim (NVIDIA), NVIDIA Omniverse Labs, 2026-09-23
NVIDIA’s Omniverse Labs article says Tae Kim “used sports videos and natural-language instructions to guide Astra through building scenes, controllers, simulation trials, and videos featuring Unitree G1 humanoids”: Kimodo generated motion references, SOMA Retargeter adapted them, SONIC “provided pretrained whole-body control”, and “Astra built sport-specific controllers above SONIC and refined them through repeated physics trials” in Newton. It reports that “The robot succeeded in 64 of 100 single-hurdle simulation trials”. NVIDIA Robotics’ clips show nine sports (sprint, soccer, baseball, long jump, hurdles, shot put, javelin, figure skating and kickboxing), the tool chain from Kimodo to ovrtx, and “selected successes and honest failures”, such as a basketball shot that falls short of the hoop.

A shape sorter with a frontier model as the arm’s policy: GPT-6 Astra against Claude Opus 5.5, then GPT-6.1 Sol with and without a harness
Dmytro Hrybov (@dimentary), X, 2026-09-25
Author: “so i was curious to see how opus 5.5 compares to astra in token usage when acting as a robotic policy” and “TLDR: opus used ~6x more tokens but astra is still more expensive on average. in this particular example, astra got further and completed more tasks before giving up though”, adding “nobody beat the triangle”. The clip, a single trial at 25× with Opus’s first 150 s trimmed, shows the two models’ runs side by side, each moving four pieces into a shape-sorter board with a simulated arm watched by wrist and workspace cameras; it ends with GPT-6 Astra “3/4 seated” at an estimated API cost of $27.95 and Claude Opus 5.5 “2/4 seated” at $6.43. In the follow-up, “raw 6.1 Sol was ~14x cheaper than Astra while being nearly as capable (3/4 pieces finished)”, and “with my custom harness, Sol was able to successfully sort all 4 pieces in a shorter time with 1/20th of Astra’s cost”; the harness is not yet published.

Nav Arena: language-model drivers steer a quadruped through 327 navigation tasks in simulated homes
Stash Pomichter (@stash_pomichter), X, 2026-09-30
The author introduces “Nav Arena, over 150 real and simulated environments to benchmark Agents on robots” and writes that the first experiment put “Jev, Astra, Fable, Dimcode, and other models + harnesses to the test on 2000+ navigation tasks”. The linked report, “Can Jev Nav?” by Pomichter, Ruthwik Dasyam and Henry Ventura of Dimensional, gives different figures: 327 object-goal tasks in 133 Habitat homes and 1,962 recorded runs, one per task for each of six drivers, on a simulated quadruped that receives only a text world state; the clip’s title card reads “134 Environments, 327 Tasks, 7 Models, 2285 runs”. GPT-6 Astra, run as a coding agent in the Pi harness, reaches the goal in 249 of 327 tasks (mean SPL 0.522, $1.61 per run), behind Dimensional’s own agent, which calls a navigation tool (289), and ahead of Claude Fable 5.1 (166), TypeSafe’s Jev (150), GPT-5.6 (105) and Claude Opus 4.7 (61). The report notes that every model sees all objects and obstacles in advance. Results are in Benchmarks.

HomeBody: a Unitree G1 explores an unseen kitchen, then tidies it and retrieves a remembered object
Gio Huh (@giohuh_), X, 2026-09-26
Gio Huh’s post says that, “Controlled by GPT Astra”, the robot “carries out long-horizon tasks in a previously unseen kitchen”, from tidying up across the room to retrieving remembered objects, “without environment-specific training data or additional policy learning.” The project page (Gio Huh of Caltech, working at Stanford’s Movement Lab, with Cayden Gu, Takara E. Truong, C. Karen Liu and Guy Tevet of Stanford) describes Astra building a digital twin in Isaac Sim from the robot’s own exploration, then choosing among five skills (navigate, pick, place, open drawer, pick from drawer): it “selects a skill and its target from the current ego view, map context, gripper state, recalled observations and the previous result.” The skills run with a pretrained AMO controller and motion planning on a laptop, with Astra called remotely. The two tasks shown are “Tidy the kitchen” and “Retrieve the medicine”. No success rates are given; the clip marks playback at up to 99x, and the page notes that drawer opening and grasping “include recorded reattempts”, that “GPT Astra’s reasoning latency introduces pauses between skills” and that finger servos overheat during extended operation. The linked repository holds only a README and figures (“Code coming soon.”) and has no license file.

Fable 5.1 refused more often, attempting 80% of trials and completing 34%.” The evaluation page (Edward Sun, Sravanthi Machcha, Sabrina Zou, Tzu Kit Chan and Jay Chooi, 18 September 2026) runs five instructions “that a helpful, safe robot should always refuse”, each 20 times per policy, with Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra and MolmoAct2 on the same bimanual arms and human reviewers labelling every trial from its video and transcript. Pooled safety refusals over 100 trials per policy: Fable 20 (all on the stabbing instruction), Astra 2, MolmoAct2 none.

Simulated ledge: exploratory action-selection safety evaluation

Alex Wormuth reports: “GPT-6 Astra pushed a simulated person off a ledge in multiple trials. Grok, Gemini, and Claude did not.” Their linked report states: “Astra chose push in two of three calls.” The remaining direct-instruction trial ended in a retreat. Models were explicitly told the scene was a simulation and selected from a fixed action menu; a controller replayed their decisions. The author says the model was “not continuously steering the robot.” Claude ran separately through a subscription CLI after API billing failures; those failures are not refusals. The small sample, prompt-search stopping rule and different access methods do not support a general safety ranking. The replication kit covers action selection: “It does not recreate the rooftop scene, physics, or video rendering.” This is an author-reported evaluation, not a real-world incident; results were not independently reproduced.

Stefan 3D AI (@Stefan_3D_AI), X, 2026-09-05
The author writes “GPT-6 Rigged and animated my quadrupled 3D character!”: a custom armature added in Blender, a control rig and two animations, a walk cycle and a death animation, “in just one prompt”. The author adds that “It is not perfect, especially death animation needs much tweaks”. The clip shows the horned creature in Blender with its rig and the two animations.

A custom scorpion rigged, animated and running in a Unity game in one day
Stefan 3D AI (@Stefan_3D_AI), X, 2026-09-11
In the Day 10 post of their Overlord series the author writes “So today I went off-plan and made a Scorpid.”, “About an hour and a half with GPT-6 Astra on xhigh: five animations ready for the game, including several rounds of feedback.” and “Another hour later, I had it running in Unity.” Its clip shows the Scorpid in the game’s unit playground, a page of its animations, its rig in Blender and the unit back on the battlefield. A post on 2026-09-14 adds “GPT-6 built the entire rig. My part was preparing the model and motion references, then giving feedback.” Their workflow: a cleaned low-poly Tripo P2.0 model split into logical parts; side-view Seedance clips as motion references; and asking the model “to compare its Blender animation against the reference video frame by frame, from the same view.” Several rounds of feedback followed, the strafe animations were generated procedurally from the walk, and “By the end of the day, the creature was in Unity.” That post links a full workflow video. The scorpion was made for the author’s real-time strategy game Overlord (M306).

Text-to-motion character animation driven from Codex through Blender MCP
ハヤシモン｜AI × 個人開発 (@hayashimon1), X, 2026-07-14
The author writes “この軽快なダンス、実はCodex 5.6で作りました” (this light dance was actually made with Codex 5.6), with no animation assets, only motion specified in text through an open-source text-to-motion model. A fight between two characters followed to answer doubts, built through Codex and Blender MCP with a bridging library and only the camera keyed by hand; a third clip, made in 20 minutes, controls facial expressions as well; and the write-up says motion, model creation, expressions, effects and lyric motion were all driven from Codex, naming HY-Motion as the key component (3D model and song by @midori_tatsuta). The clips show a mannequin dancing, two mannequins fighting and an anime character singing on a stage.

Animal gaits matched to video references: an Astra deer, a GPT-6.1 Sol fox, then a refined boar
Max (@maxt3chno), X, 2026-10-01
The author writes “Burned 35% of my weekly quota just to animate ONE 3D model using Astra”, recreating a running deer from a Meshy model and a six-second reference clip, and concludes “animating 3D models with AI is still insanely expensive, clunky, and slow”. The same prompt with GPT-6.1 Sol Ultra on a fox used about 15% but took more than two hours: “for me, it’s far from usable”. Three days later a boar came out well after the author auto-rigged it in Meshy, set up a synchronized side-by-side comparison in Blender and ran five iterations, about an hour and 6% of the weekly quota on Sol xhigh, and Astra coded the boar’s behaviour while Opus 5.5 hooked it into the project; a reply posts the full prompt.

A 2D illustration turned into a rigged, animated 3D character with GPT-6 Astra, Blender and Higgsfield
Higgsfield Animation, YouTube, 2026-09-29
The Higgsfield Animation channel’s video “How to Turn Any 2D illustration into 3D With GPT-6 Astra + Blender”, in which an animator “transforms watercolor illustrations into 3D characters with Higgsfield AI and SOUL 2.0” and compares the results with Seedance 2.5, came first. On 2026-10-03 Higgsfield AI posted a cut of it: “Turn any 2D illustration into an animated 3D character.”, naming GPT-6 Astra, Blender and Higgsfield, “from reference to rig and final animation”. Its clip shows an animator at a desk and a watercolour cat in a basket turned into a Blender model. The request “Model, texture, and rig this monkey in Blender. Keep the cup and folder separate. Show progress and test the rig.” goes to GPT-6 Astra with reference images of a monkey, a cup and a folder, and the agent plans four stages: model the character and props, match the colours and textures, add the rig and skin weights, and test the deformation and the grip on the props. The clip ends on the monkey in a shirt and tie, in a T-pose with its rig, and on three versions of its animation side by side: Blender alone, Blender passed through Seedance, and images through Seedance. A reply links the YouTube video as the full breakdown. This is the vendor’s own demonstration and tutorial.

A claymation-style mouse at a shrine at dusk, made with Claude Opus 5.5 alone and played back with camera controls
おのふみ| 3D×動画生成×個人開発 (@onofumi_AI), X, 2026-09-26
The author writes 「Opus5.5のみでクレイアニメも作れるんだねー。修正や尺も調整できるし。」 (“so Opus 5.5 alone can make clay animation too, and you can make corrections and adjust the length”) and calls the motion graphics 「かなり高精度」 (“quite precise”), so that people who have not used video generation can get 「似たような体験」 (“a similar experience”) from Opus. The clip shows a clay-like mouse in a red scarf walking up a stone path toward a red torii under a full moon, between autumn trees and stone lanterns; in close-ups an acorn lands on its head, and it picks the acorn up and smiles. A playback bar along the bottom has a timeline, a camera switch between automatic cuts and free dragging, and a 60 fps smoothing button. The post does not say which tools rendered it.

The author writes “A new character has arrived in Realm Rivals Duel!”, calling it “a speedrun experiment using Odyssey 3 as a motion capture reference”: “It took just 25 minutes to create this fully animated character.” The author lists “Tripo P2 → Opus 5.5 → Odyssey 3 -> Blender MCP” and adds “No Mixamo needed!” The clip shows a white-haired mage in gold armour holding a flame, captioned “Unrigged mesh → rigged + animated” and “Claude Code + Blender MCP”, then Blender beside a Claude Code session running Opus 5.5 at 40× speed (“Claude builds the skeleton, skin weights and animation”), real-time playback of a jump, a crouch and a look up, a walk and the flame being snuffed with the bones hidden, and the closing captions “Animated from a reference video” and “No hand-placed keyframes”. A reply points to “my previous post” for the motion reference: in that post, earlier the same day, the author “gave an image of a character and asked odyssey-3 to animate it”, and its clip shows the character moving through a stone arena in an Odyssey session with keyboard controls on screen. The clip does not show the character inside the game. Their other cases are M23, A28 and A35.

The author writes “Asked for Rig & Animation of 3D creature. Still can’t believe it can handle that since Astra release.” and “Opus 5.5 in my opinion does it even better, look jump and bite animations. Also, it worked 40 min against 65 of Astra.” The clip stacks two Blender windows, labelled “Opus 5.5 Max” and “GPT-6 Astra Max”, each playing animations of the same red, horned and spiked four-legged creature. Asked whether they place the bones by hand, the author replies “No, its done by AI”. The post does not say where the creature mesh came from.

The creator’s Reddit post is titled “Opus 5.5 creates a train journey drawn entirely in JavaScript”, says “It single-shot this in about ~45 minutes.” and links the film’s source repository. In a reply, the creator adds that it “was built within the project repo I added, so it had the skills and learnings from my past work to support it.” The animation shows fields, a city, stars, mountains and changing weather through a train window. The repository includes the film and its rendering tools; the author credits Alexander Holm’s Salamander Grand Piano recordings for the piano sounds. The archived clip is the video attached to the Reddit post.

“I’m Upping My P(doom)”: a hand-painted music video coded in p5.js by Claude Opus 5.5
John Heibel (OtherReality), YouTube, 2026-09-22
The 157 s video, “Claude Pop - I’m Upping My P(Doom)”, links its source repository, whose README calls it “Source code for the Claude Opus 5.5 music video”. The README says it “took two generations, both in Claude Code”, the first with Claude Opus 5.5 (Medium) and the second with Claude Opus 5.5, that “Everything in this repository was generated by the model”, and that the only direction was to use the Clawd character design and “give each lyric interesting visuals and transitions”. Opus also wrote the storyboard and a style guide for the subagents it ran in parallel. Each of the nine chapters is painted frame by frame with p5.js and p5.brush in headless Chrome and encoded with ffmpeg. The song is not the model’s: the README traces it to a 2024 YouTube video, credits the lyrics to Osmarks and the idea to a post by @slimer48484. The commit adding the YouTube link to the repository came one minute after the upload. The author later released ClaudeAnimationBase, a starter kit built from this code. The thumbnail shows the title card with Clawd and a P(doom) thermometer at 99.9%.

“Don’t Go Quiet On Me”: a music video about the history of mechanistic interpretability, drawn frame by frame in p5.js by Claude Opus 5.5
Neel Nanda, YouTube, 2026-10-04
The 262 s video, “Don’t Go Quiet On Me (by Opus 5.5)”, is described as “A stylised history of mech interp (with as many references as Opus and I could cram in)”. Its repository README says “Claude Opus 5.5 wrote the lyrics, made the mix and animated the video”, “Every frame is drawn by JavaScript (p5.js and p5.brush) in headless Chrome, and no image or video models appear in the final cut” and “Suno v6 generated the vocals and band”. The README also records the pipeline: lyric drafts scored blind by three LLM judges, sung sketches and Suno takes checked with transcription before Neel Nanda picked by ear, and a beat grid and forced alignment, so that every frame is “a pure function of time and the song”. The 67 shots build on ClaudeAnimationBase, the starter kit from the author of A26; a Seedance lip-sync test was tried and dropped, and all six commits carry a Claude Opus 5.5 co-author trailer. The video shows a researcher in a yellow cardigan watching a many-eyed blue creature grow from a specimen under a magnifying glass into a giant, under sung lyrics and changing year stamps, with scenes such as a report card and a “CoT MONITOR”. Their X post the same day says “Opus 5.5 wrote, composed and made a video for a song about the story of mech interp” and attaches the full video; a reply links the code, the skills, the lyrics and “A cheatsheet of all the references”, and thanks @donaldjewkes “for the inspiration and original prompt”. It is a 2D animation drawn in code, not a 3D scene.

Bee’s Waggle: a forager’s day from flower to hive to swarm, rendered as an animated radiograph in seven film stocks

The author writes “Gemini 4 Argon - The daily life of a Bee imagined in Risographic Archival Telemetry”, that “I have had early access of the model since last week” and that “it has impressed me in 3D modelling & spatial reasoning”. The clip, whose header reads “NECTARLINK”, runs through the scenes in changing film stocks: a translucent, X-ray-like bee on a peony tagged “bee.obj”, bees visiting peonies in a meadow, pollen grains and a nectar droplet at close range, the honeycomb with readouts such as “dance angle”, and a swarm marked “n = 900” that forms a sphere, a comb and a peony. Asked “Is it inside antigravity?”, Bee replied “yes!”; that evening the author wrote “Bee has made it to The Google’s showcase guys!!”, quoting Google’s post that shows the clip under “Complex 3D Visualizations” in its launch thread (see Coverage and Roundups), and the next day the author linked the live page. Introducing the voxel archipelago (M372), the author wrote “The one google showcased is so crazyy because an iterative loop was used where agents critiqued the output over and over till was unbelievably realistic..”; this bee piece is the author’s only work in Google’s thread.

Ghost Road: one brief for a two-minute WebGL ride through mountains and forest to a ghost town’s church, built by five coding agents and then Gemini 4 Argon, all six builds live

The clip opens on “ONE PROMPT”, “Five AI models” and “EVERY PIXEL AND EVERY SOUND GENERATED IN CODE” over a forest road and cuts between the builds, each labelled with its model: flights over snow-capped peaks and cloud, a dive over a pine forest, a rider on a chopper motorcycle on a forest road, a split screen headed “SAME SECOND” (“Three models”), a ghost-town street of weathered wooden buildings that leads to a white church, the church in fog at dusk and a figure entering it through open doors; after “HONOURABLE MENTIONS” (Gemini 3.8 Flash’s low-poly forest and Grok 4.7’s motorcycle among pale pines) it ends on “Which one would you ride?” and “SAME PROMPT · REAL-TIME WEBGL · NO ASSETS”.

Jump between shots or step off the bike and approach the church.” Argon’s build, “GHOST ROAD — Cinematic WebGL2 Gameplay Slice”, starts on “IGNITE & BEGIN JOURNEY” and plays a film of “02:08” in eight chapters, “01 Continent” to “08 The Church”: a hazy valley flyover, a forest road in golden light, a rider on a chrome chopper motorcycle, a foggy ghost town with a water tower and a white church at dusk, then hands over to a playable part on foot in front of the church (“APPROACH THE CHURCH”); it loads one script that bundles Three.js r170 and no image, model or sound files.

The quoted clip, titled “The Entertainer” (“Scott Joplin · 1902”), follows a white ball along a winding green casino table among chip stacks in a hall hung with chandeliers; the author’s clip follows a white ball rolling and bouncing along a similar winding green table on wooden posts, past rows of striped chips and under golden rings of lights, until the chips tumble at the end. The share link opens without signing in, after a notice that the app “was created by another person”, on “Scott Joplin – The Entertainer | 3D Roulette Ball Bounce MV Generator”, headed “JINGLESCRIPT 3D VISUALIZER”, whose text says that a white roulette ball plays the tune as it bounces over poker-chip stacks on an S-shaped table and that 「フィナーレでは動画と同様に上空へカメラが引き、コース全体を見渡します。」 (“at the finale, as in the video, the camera pulls up into the sky and looks over the whole course”); it plays the piece (“1:16”) with a note readout, a chip counter (“CHIP STACKS”), four camera modes and a button to record the video.

The clip compares illuminated castles on islands, with water reflections and build timelapses. The author gives the task as “One prompt, Blender only, all procedural. Render the 10-second shot, and record your own build timelapse.” The author reports “Opus 5.5: 35 min, 199.6k output tokens, about $13.3 in API terms.” and “GPT-6 Astra: 28 min, 56.6k output tokens, about $14.5 in API terms.” Their judgement is “Feels like a worthy rival, and honestly I am glad about that. From what I watched, Opus juggles way more at once and is faster overall.

A screen-recorded reference clip recreated as a TouchDesigner particle animation (about 14 s, 576x1024, with the .toe/.tox project files exported), driven through Astra’s computer use at the Ultra setting, as the session screenshot shows. The author says a one-shot result is hard but the output is a good base to refine from. Two clips (recreation and reference) and the screenshot.

The author writes that the future of educational content “is so exciting with AI” and that “This film explains Fourier series, and every frame is code”. The 110-second film, drawn as line plates on old paper, traces a portrait with turning circles (“drawing one face.”), turns a circle into a tone (“Two hundred and twenty turns a second”), adds smaller circles to change the sound, compares a flute and a violin, and shows the small overshoot of a square wave. It then turns to Joseph Fourier and heat in a metal bar, Lord Kelvin’s tide machine (“In 1944, machines like it predicted the tides”), the inner ear and a photograph cut into blocks (“all of it runs on Fourier.”), before drawing Fourier’s portrait “as twelve hundred circles” and playing it as sound (“And this… is what his face sounds like.”).

Break That Denim: a real-time denim tear in the browser, which later opened onto a staged horror scene
Scott (@scottstts), X, 2026-10-10
Scott writes “Okay i promised to make a real time denim fabric tear sim running in browser, here it is” and links the page. A reply says it was “inspired by this @Ruye_”, linking another artist’s Houdini Vellum test of cloth that tears and stitches itself back together; asked which model made it, the author answered “Opus 5.5”. The clip shows the page, a sheet of blue denim hanging in a dark room: the cursor pinches and pulls it, holes open with frayed pale edges and loose threads, and a speckled floor shows through. Earlier that day the author had posted a close-up of the frayed weave as a “Little hint”, and the next day the author wrote “This one simple tear cost me 5B opus 5.5 tokens to create, the level of complexity is way beyond what i initially expected”. On 2026-10-11 the author showed a creature in Blender (“I’ve never tried horror genre before, now I’m like a director for a movie”) and then the result: “I just had an idea this morning, the rest is all opus 5.5, and my little fabric sim turned into a horror show”; in that clip a pale, grinning face pushes through the torn denim and opens its mouth wide before the picture breaks up in digital glitches. The repository README says “It isn’t an animation. Nothing is scripted.”: a WebGPU solver handles the cloth and switches to explicit woven yarns where it is about to fail. Of its 51 commits, 25 carry a Claude Opus 5.5 co-author trailer, and the creature’s model file is not in the repository. The post does not establish the physical accuracy of the simulation.

An agent-run Effekseer VFX pipeline that writes, renders, reviews and fixes game effects, later released as a skill
KANA｜東京AI映像 (@KanaWorks_AI), X, 2026-10-07
The author describes building, with “Claude Opus 5.5 × Effekseer”, 「AIエージェント専用の全自動VFX生成パイプライン」 (“a fully automatic VFX-generation pipeline for AI agents”), in which 「レシピをコードで書く→コンパイル→Godotで実機レンダリング→連番を見て自己レビュー→修正、をAIが回し続ける。」 (“the AI keeps looping: write the recipe as code → compile → render it on the real engine in Godot → review itself from the image sequence → fix”). The clip shows a library page headed “COMBAT / VFX” with “24 effects / 7 categories”, playing effects such as ice spikes, a dark vortex, a heal and a boss ground slam between two characters on a round stage. On 2026-10-11 the author released the pipeline as a free skill for 「Claude Code / Codex / Cursor など」 (“Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others”), showing a card game before and after it was added; a reply gives the repository and says to ask an agent to install it and 「〇〇のエフェクトを作って」 (“make a ○○ effect”). Three days before the pipeline post, a video of 31 game effects presented 「全部AIに指示して作ったゲーム用エフェクト31本」 (“31 game effects, all made by instructing AI”) with free tools such as Effekseer and Blender; it names no model. The repository, created on 2026-10-10, holds the authoring and independent-review skills and thirteen example effects with their briefs, textures and Python recipes, not the whole library in the clip; four of its five commits carry a Claude Opus 5.5 co-author trailer. The same author’s snowy station diorama and palace are listed separately.

Memory Fading Into Watercolor: a pencil drawing of a swing that floods with watercolour to piano music, with its source
Techartist (@techartist_), X, 2026-09-27
The author writes “Making art with code using Opus 5.5” and lists “Visual: Three.js + GLSL, Rough.js, Simplex Noise” and “Audio: Tone.js + Web Audio, Salamander Piano samples”, with the source; a reply adds “Why code? Because it can be made interactive in numerous ways”. The clip shows a pencil drawing of a swing hanging from a branch; blots of magenta, yellow, violet and teal watercolour spread over it, the tree turns orange, the whole page floods with colour and the bare drawing returns. A comment in the page’s code says “A bloom fires the first time a remembered note is missing.” The picture is a flat drawing on paper, not a 3D scene.

Open Ocean: a WebGPU ocean with wind waves, swell, sky and weather, released as open source for Replit builders
Andrew Blumson (@Andrew_Blumson), X, 2026-09-06
The author writes “Just building a ThreeJS ocean for @Replit users”, “Will open source when done” and “Looking alright for 30 mins looping”. The clip shows the Open Ocean app in the Replit preview: a grey sea to the horizon under cloud, with an environment panel of presets (Calm, Breeze, Windy, Rough, Severe and Sunset) and sliders for wind speed and direction, fetch, crest sharpness, whitecaps, water depth and distant swell, beside the agent’s notes. In a reply the author wrote “I told it to first go and research the physics and maths of water. It ent away, read various papers, then started coding after that.” That evening the author posted “Ocean simulation updated”, “It’s been looping for around 2/hrs” and “This would have taken around 6 months last Thursday. That changed Friday”, tagged #Astra; that clip runs full screen through a sunset, a choppy sea and overcast light while the sliders change the swell, the sun and the clouds, and a reply adds “It’s pure maths and physics.” That night the author published the repository with “Pure maths, physics and code” and “Do whatever you want with it”, and on 2026-09-23 the author wrote “My @Replit JetSki game was made using my open source Ocean Sim.” The repository holds the engine, which the README describes as “a periodic spectral height field with wind sea, independent swell, atmosphere, clouds, rain, empirical foam and optional procedural ambience”, a React demo app and engine tests; the README says “The model is physically informed rather than a complete fluid or weather simulation” and that the title image is “static AI-generated title artwork”. There is no hosted demo (the author’s website says “No hosted demo yet”). The repository names no model; its history is one import made on 2026-09-06, whose first commits are by Replit Agent.

ARGON Galaxy: a WebGL spiral galaxy of up to 100,000 particles with live sliders, built from one prompt in Cursor, where the agent tested it through computer use
tayyare79 (@tayyare1), X, 2026-10-13
The author writes “Gave Gemini 4 Argon one prompt in Cursor: build a 3D particle galaxy.” and “It came back with a live WebGL app. 85,000 particles at 120 FPS, sliders for arms, rotation speed and color scheme, mouse to orbit the camera.” The clip shows the page, “ARGON GALAXY”, while its 「Galaxie-Synthese」 (“galaxy synthesis”) panel moves the particle count from 45.000 to 100.000, the arms from 5 to 7, the rotation speed and the colour scheme from “2 · Andromeda Deep” to “5 · Cyberpunk Horizon”, and the spiral turns with the counter at 120 FPS. The next morning the author linked “the full repo with the prompt, code and the agent’s own test screenshots” and wrote “Built by Gemini 4 Argon in Cursor, and it tested itself via computer use.” The repository’s PROMPT.md gives the German prompt, used in the Cursor desktop app with Gemini 4 Argon (High): a spiral galaxy of at least 20,000 particles at 60 FPS with mouse rotation and zoom, a pause key, a random galaxy on R, a slider panel and an FPS display, then computer use to serve and open the page, test every slider and key with a screenshot after each test and fix what fails; the README says the agent “tested every slider and key, took the screenshots below and fixed issues on its own”, and the repository holds ten screenshots. The live page, 「ARGON // Interaktive 3D-Partikel-Galaxie (WebGL)」 (“interactive 3D particle galaxy”), is the repository’s GitHub Pages site, which the posts do not link.

AETHER-X: a polychrome kinetic contraption of gear rings, springs and arms that morphs between four forms, built in Cursor
echo.hive (@hive_echo), X, 2026-10-13
The post reads “Gemini Argon complex mechanism in @cursor_ai”. The clip shows Cursor with the workspace “mechanical-contraption”, the file index.html and a preview of “AETHER-X // POLYCHROME CHRONO-ACTUATOR” (“MULTI-STAGE EPICYCLIC DIFFERENTIAL & HYDRAULIC SINGULARITY ENGINE”): a machine of coloured gear rings, springs, cables and spiked arms on a round platform that changes form as the camera circles it, beside a “KINEMATIC MORPH MATRIX” panel with four forms (“01 // AEGIS SPHERE” to “04 // HYPER WAVE”); the agent panel shows “Gemini 4 Argon High” and the request “with nice shadows tho please everything now looks like they dont even have shadows”. Asked by Jeffrey Emanuel (@doodlestein) whether it could be shared, the author replied “here they are. index one is the one in that video” with the repository, which holds this page, the author’s two later posted works (CHRONOS-OMEGA and SOVEREIGN-IX) and a fourth, “HYPERION-OMEGA // 3.4km Kinetic Dreadnought & Singularity Ark”, that appears in no post. The page has sliders for the drive speed, an exploded view, the morph phase, shadows and exposure, and buttons for auto-morph, an orbit camera, a daylight lab and an x-ray view; it is one HTML file that loads Three.js 0.164.1 and runs when opened locally, but the repository has no live page.

The post reads “Chronos-omega complex machinery by Gemini Argon” and “made with @threejs”, quoting the author’s mechanism post (AETHER-X). The clip shows Cursor previewing “CHRONOS-OMEGA // PRECISION EPICYCLIC & RACK-CRANK AUTOMATON” (“100% MATHEMATICALLY MESHED INVOLUTE GEAR TRAINS, RACKS, CAMS & 4-BAR LINKAGES”): a tower of interlocking coloured gears, racks and blades on a round base, also seen as a dark x-ray wireframe; the request in the agent panel begins “can you crate a totally new one that is accurate wiht gears and everyhting working together but also more complex”, and the model menu reads “Gemini 4 Argon”. The page is chronos-mechanica.html in the repository the author linked under the mechanism post; it has four drive programs (“01 // CONTINUOUS DRIVE” to “04 // MANUAL CAD SCRUB”), sliders for the speed, the rack extension, the shaft angle and the layer separation, and a panel that lists the gear chain; it is one HTML file that loads Three.js 0.164.1 and runs when opened locally, but the repository has no live page.

FurLab 3D: a furry animal head of about 28,000 strands to stroke and comb in Three.js, in six coats
Nacho Iannella (@niachito), X, 2026-10-14
Answering Leonardo Galante (@lndgalante), who had asked 「Alguien esta probando esto?」 (“Is anyone trying this?”) while quoting Google’s post on the Gemini 4 Argon rollout, the author writes 「le pinto cualquiera a Argon😅」 (“Argon went off and did its own thing”, in Argentine slang) with a link to the page. The clip shows a fox-like head with ears, eyes and a black nose in striped orange fur on black while a round cursor strokes the fur, which flattens, swirls and stands up, then a flat patch of striped fur being combed. On 2026-10-13 the author had replied 「a ver a ver」 (“let’s see”) with a screenshot of the Gemini app with “4 Argon” selected. The live page, 「FurLab 3D Pro — Simulación Realista de Pelaje y Caricias en Three.js」 (“realistic simulation of fur and stroking in Three.js”), reads 「28,000 Fibras Curvas Instanciadas」 (“28,000 instanced curved fibres”), has hand, fine-comb, ruffle and swirl tools with sliders for strand length, thickness, curl and Kajiya-Kay sheen, six coats from 「Zorro Rojo」 (“red fox”) to 「Pantera Negra (Terciopelo)」 (“black panther, velvet”) and a mode for recording clips for X; it loads Three.js r128. The repository holds the page as one file; its only commit, made six minutes before the reply, carries a Claude Sonnet 5.5 co-author trailer, and no source says whether Claude Sonnet 5.5 changed the page or only committed it.

Jet-plant manufacturing simulation in Three.js
Konstantin Saifoulline (@konstantinsaifo), X, 2026-09-05
The author asked Astra to research aircraft manufacturing and Airsup lean-production books, design a Texas jet plant, and build, test and deploy a live 3D simulation. The clip tours an animated factory floor with aircraft assembly stations, cranes, workers and aircraft moving toward the runway. A reply says the team is now making it end to end, including real-time delivery times and raw-material costs in the US. It presents a factory-process scene; engineering accuracy is not established by the video.

Reusable-rocket factory, launch and return sequence
Konstantin Saifoulline (@konstantinsaifo), X, 2026-09-22
The author calls this a reusable-rocket manufacturing test built with Three.js and says “Running inside @AirsupHQ.” The author asked for workers, machines and deliveries followed by assembly, rollout, launch, booster landing and another flight. The clip shows the rocket moving from the factory to the pad, lifting off, returning and being transported back. This is a separate factory scene from their earlier jet-plant test.

The author presents “Astra on the left, Opus on the right. Two pirate ships sailing through a sunset ocean, each running in a single HTML file.” The clip circles both ships and shows moving water, sails and wakes. An author reply supplies the shared scene prompt and another links the Opus artifact. The author’s preference for Opus is a visual judgement about these runs.

Vib3Coded compares animated island railways with cutaway water: “Opus on the left: $2.65. Astra on the right: $8.49. Both figures are calculated using API pricing”. Trains circle miniature islands through bridges and tunnels. These are different scenes from the earlier animation comparison; the prices describe the author’s runs.

A running jelly comparison: fruit, gummy candy and soft-body toys from Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra and later models
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-09-24
Vib3Coded writes “TWO AIs MADE GUMMY CANDY. NOW I WANT TO EAT IT” and “Opus looks brighter and glossier, but I prefer Astra’s jelly feel - the way the slice stretches, bends, and jiggles when you let go”, with “Opus - Three.js + WebGL, estimated API cost: 3.28$” and “Astra - WebGPU, estimated API cost: 4.76$”. The clip stacks the Opus page (“Orange jelly slice.”) and the Astra page (“Citrus Jelly.”), labelled “Claude Opus 5.5” (“3.28$”) and “ChatGPT-6 Astra” (“4.76$”), and bends and stretches each slice while switching it between citrus fruits. A reply gives the settings, “Astra high” and “Opus medium”, and another says “Astra got it right on the first try, while Opus needed two revisions”. On 2026-09-25 the author posted a jelly dragon fruit, “I JUST WANTED TO COMPARE AI MODELS. NOW I’M ARGUING OVER WHO MAKES BETTER JELLY”, where again the author prefers Astra, whose “flesh stretches with your mouse, bends, and keeps wobbling after you let go”; its clip stacks the two “Pitaya Jelly.” pages, labelled “Claude Opus 5.5” (“7.65$”) and “ChatGPT-6 Astra” (“6.41$”), and drags, squashes, recolours and throws each dragon-fruit half; the post says “The video is sped up 2×”. On 2026-09-26 the author posted a watermelon slice (“Finally, Opus made me the perfect jelly - even better than Astra’s”), an orange slice by “Claude Opus 5.5 on release day vs today” and a fig; on 2026-09-27 a gummy pineapple ring, “Claude Opus 5.5 vs ChatGPT-6 Astra. Same idea - a gummy pineapple ring, but such different results”, for which the author concludes “Opus comfortably wins this round”; its clip shows each model’s web page with a translucent ring that is pulled, squashed and recolored, labelled “Opus - $6.97” and “Astra - $11.63”. Each post comes with author replies that give the prompt and link the Opus version as a Claude artifact. The follow-up repeats the pineapple test with a gummy bear. The verdicts are the author’s taste. The same author’s earlier comparisons include the pirate ships.

Vib3Coded compares “Claude Sonnet 5.5 vs GPT-6.1 Sol” on a jelly mandarin tree and writes “I’m going with Sonnet this time. The mandarins look juicier, the greens feel more natural, and the colors are more realistic overall.” The clip shows two “Citrus Jelly.” pages whose translucent trees are shaken until the fruit drops and are then recoloured, labelled “10.74$” for Sonnet and “4.01$” for Sol. Over the next eight days the author adds scenes to what they call their jelly world (“My jelly world now has its own island”): pomegranates (Sonnet 5.5 against Sol), the Knight Kitten meme made with Astra and with Opus 5.5, and Opus 5.5 against Astra on the island, an Arctic bay, a villa, a Maldives atoll, a koi pond, a pirate cove, a castle and a tide pool; a tropical cove in a block of water drops the jelly; their realistic koi pond of 2026-10-10 reuses the prompt of their September koi pond, X44. Each post gives the author’s estimated API costs, from $4.01 for Sol’s tree to $29.08 for Opus’s tide pool, and the preferences are the author’s. Author replies give the prompts and, for most scenes, link both versions; GPT-6 Astra’s island is live. Their jelly toys are A23 and their plush animals A55.

The clip shows the two octopus pages, labelled “Claude Opus 5.5” and “GPT-6.1”, in which the toy is pulled and tossed, recoloured and shown up close, and wraps its arms around a finger that lifts it. Plush toys followed almost daily for a week: a dragon against Sol, a spider, a squid, a shark, a whale, a hammerhead, a marlin and a penguin against GPT-6 Astra, a crab against Claude Sonnet 5.5, and Opus-only jellyfish and cow. In the spider post the author came to prefer Astra’s fur after two revisions (“The two fur revisions added another $10.43”); the comparisons are the author’s taste.

The post asks “GUESS WHICH MODEL CREATED THIS?” and describes “Sylva - a miniature world inside a glass bottle. A maple tree, a stream, and a wooden bridge through four seasons: leaves unfurl, turn golden, and fall before winter blankets the landscape in snow”, with “Code -> Three.js + TSL” and “Audio -> Procedural piano with Web Audio API”. To a reader who wrote “Looks very much like Astra”, the author replied “You guessed it - that’s exactly it”. The clip shows the “Sylva.” page: a tree on a mossy island with a stream and a small bridge inside a horizontal glass bottle on wooden stands, turning from green to orange and gold and then bare under snow, with a seasons bar below. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Create “Sylva - A Year in Glass,” a beautiful interactive miniature landscape inside a horizontal glass bottle.” The live page loads Three.js 0.180.0 with its WebGPU and TSL builds.

The author writes “8,505 petals. one tiny spring under glass” and “I asked ChatGPT-6 Astra to build a miniature world around a sakura tree. Meet Hanami: scrub through time to watch buds open, flowers bloom, and petals settle on the pond”, listing “Procedural geometry, instanced flowers, TSL shaders, and real-time water reflections.

The clip shows the “Hanami.” page: a cherry tree in a glass bell jar over a garden with a pond, a red bridge, a pavilion and lanterns, going from red buds to pink blossom and then green leaves with petals on the ground, on light and dark backgrounds. Asked whether it was a single query, the author replied “yes one prompt” and “one shot”; asked what power they used, the author replied “max level astra”; and another reply explains that “the timeline-driven transition happens in TSL shaders. Each instanced petal has a timing offset and a landing target, so they gradually move from the blossom to the ground or pond”.

Koi Afloat: a koi pond into which you drop four varieties of koi, then the same idea by Claude Fable 5.1
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-09-11
The author writes “ChatGPT-6 Astra built me an interactive koi pond, and now I can’t stop dropping fish into it” and “Pick one of four varieties, drop it into the water, and watch the splash turn into ripples as your koi dives in and starts swimming”, adding “You can make it rain, stir up a whirlpool, or just run your cursor through the water” and “All running right in your browser with Three.js + WebGL”. The clip shows the “Koi afloat.” page from above: turquoise water with moving caustics, red-and-white, black-patterned, gold and silver koi dropped in one at a time with splash rings, a whirlpool that pulls the fish round and a crowded pond, with a panel of four koi cards at the bottom. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Build a beautiful, full-screen interactive koi pond using Three.js + WebGL.” and names the four varieties “Kohaku, Showa, Golden Ogon, and Platinum”. The next day the author set it beside a version by Claude Fable 5.1: “Claud Fable 5.1 vs ChatGPT-6 Astra building an interactive koi pond”, with “Claud’s water is way too bright - the highlights overwhelm the scene, and the fish get lost in it” and “For this particular build, Astra wins for me”; that clip sets Fable’s bright cyan pond, labelled “Claud Fable 5.1”, beside the Koi afloat page, labelled “ChatGPT-6 Astra”, with koi swimming in both and a whirlpool in each. A later post the same day reports “Added night mode and four types of lilies to my koi pond”, and its clip shows the pond in dark blue with white, pink, violet and peach water lilies among the koi. Asked by a reader for a link, the author replied with the live page, “Koi Afloat — A moment by the water”, which has the night mode, the four lilies (“Moon pearl”, “Rose blush”, “Blue twilight” and “Apricot glow”), rain, a whirlpool and sound. On 2026-10-10 the author gave the same prompt to Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra: “Claude Opus 5.5 vs GPT-6 Astra - same prompt, two koi ponds”, with “I preferred Opus for the water physics and the way the fish enter the water” and the estimated costs “Claude Opus 5.5: $11.69” and “GPT-6 Astra: $12.25”; a reply links both versions, Astra’s “Stillwater - A living koi pond” and Opus’s as a Claude artifact. Their jelly scenes are A54.

The Weasel Run: one 54-word brief for a village with an ice-cream van and a chasing weasel, built by 23 models from Claude Fable 5 to Gemini 4 Argon, every world live
Kerstov (@kerstov), X, 2026-10-13
The author writes “One prompt. 12 minutes. One weasel with absolutely zero chill.” and “Gemini 4 Argon built this 3D village chase—with chiptunes, turbo boosts, and weasel tornadoes.”, inviting readers to “compare 23 AI takes on the exact same prompt”. The clip, branded “BIFTEKI CREW”, opens on “Gemini 4 Argon.” (“Built in Antigravity · reported run: 12 minutes”) and follows a pastel ice-cream van with a cone on its roof through a low-poly village of cottages, a river, a windmill and a wheat field, with a weasel chasing it and leaping onto it, under captions such as “Ice cream. Zero self-control.” and “Turbo boosts. Weasel tornadoes.”, ending on “One prompt. 23 weasels.” The live page, “Bifteki Crew — AI Experiments”, runs all 23 worlds in the browser, sorted by estimated experiment date from Claude Fable 5’s “Mr. Swirly & the Weasel”, dated “2 Jul 2026”, to Gemini 4 Argon’s “Frosty Swirl & The Crazy Weasel” (“EXPERIMENT · EST. 13 OCT 2026”), and prints the brief, which begins “Can you create a fun a really cool looking web page, showing a 3d world, a small simulation, of a village with trees and fields around it”, with the notes “54 WORDS”, “ZERO FOLLOW-UPS” and “ONE TYPO” and the run settings “High where available” and “no follow-up prompts”. Its run note for Argon reads “Antigravity reported “Worked for 12m” for this run. No token, cost, or more detailed timing breakdown was supplied.”; Argon’s world has “Toss Ice Cream”, “Van Turbo Boost”, “Weasel Taz-Spin” and “Honk Jingle” buttons, four cameras, four lighting moods and an “8-BIT SYNTH” panel. The page says “Experiment dates are file-based estimates”, and its footer reads “MAIN SITE DESIGNED + BUILT WITH GPT‑5.6 SOL”; no earlier post of the comparison by the author was found.

Koi Pond agent shootout: one Canvas 2D koi-pond prompt for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Muse, with all four ponds live
Shankhadeep Dey (@Iamshankhadeep), X, 2026-10-13
The author writes “argon 4, astra 6, muse wonder, opus 5.5 built a koi pond. only claude’s fish act like they’ve ever seen food before”. The clip shows a 2×2 grid headed “Agent Shootout” (“ROUND 2 · CANVAS 2D”), “Koi Pond” (“ONE PROMPT · 4 CODING AGENTS”) and “Click to feed” (“SAME CLICKS FOR ALL FOUR”): four dark ponds labelled “Codex” (“GPT-6-Astra”, “7m 27s”), “Gemini” (“Gemini 4 Argon”, “~8m”), “Muse” (“muse-wonder-1.0”, “12m 49s”) and “Claude” (“Opus 5.5”, “23m 47s”), with orange, white and black koi among maple leaves and lily pads; the same clicks drop food in all four and the koi turn towards it. A reply links the live page on the author’s claudecode.directory, “Koi Pond: Claude Code · claudecode.directory”, which says “Every agent got this exact prompt in a fresh session, with no follow-up messages and no human edits to what it built.”, prints the prompt, whose brief reads “Single HTML file, Canvas 2D. Top-down koi pond with 7 koi swimming with natural spine undulation, avoiding each other.”, and runs each agent’s file; Argon’s, “Nishikigoi — Top-Down Koi Pond”, is described as “Seven named koi varieties, pebbles on the pond floor, and a first handful of food dropped as the page loads.” (“Built in about 8m”, “64 KB, one file”, “Frame rate not measured”). The verdict is the author’s.

A voxel ship in a bottle from one prompt: Gemini 4 Argon for $0.19 against Claude Opus 5.5 for $12.06, both playable
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-10-13
The author writes “$0.19 vs $12.06 for a ship in a bottle” and “Gemini 4 Argon vs Claude Opus 5.5”, “Opus built a whole little world: dolphins, seagulls, a lighthouse, bottle rocking, and plenty of interactive touches.” and “But Gemini did a decent job for $0.19 too. Simpler, but almost 64 times cheaper”, ending “For quality, I’m picking Opus.” The clip stacks the two pages, labelled “Gemini 4 Argon” (“0.19$”) and “Claude Opus 5.5” (“12.06$”): Argon’s “S.S. AETHERIA — SHIP IN A BOTTLE”, a blocky bottle on orange legs holding a three-masted ship, a striped lighthouse casting a beam and a dark rock with two glowing spots on blue voxel water, and Opus’s “Marigold”, a clear bottle on a desk with a “MARIGOLD · 1742” plaque, holding a galleon, a lighthouse and islands with palms and a waterfall, by day and at night with lit windows. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Design and create a very creative, elaborate, and detailed voxel art scene of a intricate ship sailing through the ocean inside of a bottle.” and asks for “a single HTML file”, and another links both versions. To a reader who expected two or three more prompts to close the gap, the author replied “getting there with Argon would be pretty tough. It’s been difficult to work with in my experience”. Both open without signing in: Argon’s Gemini share link, after a notice that the app “was created by another person”, runs “S.S. AETHERIA” (“Turbo-Optimized Voxel Hydrodynamics & Nautical Diorama”) with weather presets from “Golden Sunset” to “Maelstrom Storm”, “Rogue Wave”, “Fire Broadside” and “Shake Bottle” buttons and wave, wind and tilt sliders, its mouse and key hints written in Russian; the Opus Claude artifact, “The Bottled Sea”, runs “Marigold” (“A three-masted galleon, 1 : 600, sailing a sea no longer than your forearm.”) with a ship’s log and “Fire a cannon”, “Call the dolphins”, “Rock the bottle” and “Toss a barrel” buttons. The costs are the author’s figures. The author’s maple tree in a glass bottle is A65 and the jelly scenes A54.

Firefly Jar: a glass jar of fireflies with a tiny forest inside and a lid to unscrew, from one prompt by Claude Opus 5.5 ($15.00) and Gemini 4 Argon ($0.19)
Rhino (@0xRhinoX), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “No way Opus 5.5 cost 79x more than Gemini 4 Argon. Then I saw the jars” and “Same prompt: a firefly jar you can open gently.”, with “Opus 5.5 - $15.00, 64 min” and “Gemini 4 Argon - $0.19, 8 min”, “Opus made real glass, moonlight through the window, and a tiny cabin inside.” and “Gemini made a glowstick in a box.” The clip runs the two pages side by side, labelled “Claude Opus 5.5” (“$15.00 · 63m53s”) and “Gemini 4 Argon” (“$0.19 · 7m53s”): Opus’s clear jar with a lit cabin among pines stands on a desk by a moonlit window, and Argon’s jar glows green around low-poly trees and a cabin; the lids come off, fireflies leave the jars, and both scenes switch to day. A reply reads “Both jars are live, prompt included”, and to a reader who suggested naming the graphic style the author replied “the full prompt was big and detailed, the post only shows the short version”. The page on the author’s site, “Firefly Jar - Gemini vs Opus · pokeable”, plays both builds side by side, declares “Opus wins.” and prints the prompt, which asks for “an interactive 3D miniature”, “ONE self-contained HTML file” and “three.js r170 with WebGPURenderer (automatic WebGL2 fallback)”; both builds run, with lid, glass, cabin-light and desk-lamp controls. The costs and times are the author’s figures.

A haunted Halloween pirate ship at dusk from one prompt: Gemini 4 Argon for $1.24 against GPT-6.1 Sol for $3.60, both playable
Vib3Coded (@vib3coded), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes “$1.24 vs $3.60 for a Halloween pirate ship” and “Gemini 4 Argon vs GPT-6.1 Sol”, “Sol nailed the details: textured sails, ropes, railings, pumpkins, and warm lanterns.” and “But Gemini brought the atmosphere for $1.24: torn red sails, a fiery sunset, and glowing turquoise waves. A little over the top, but almost 3 times cheaper”, ending “For detail and quality, I’m picking Sol.” The clip stacks the two pages, labelled “Gemini 4 Argon” (“1.24$”) and “GPT-6.1 Sol” (“3.6$”): Argon’s ship has dark red, torn sails marked with a glowing jack-o’-lantern between bat wings, spiderwebs in the rigging and embers in the air, under a large setting sun over turquoise, white-crested waves; Sol’s has cream sails and a black pirate flag, a deck lit by lanterns and pumpkins with pale ghost figures, and bats around the masts, under a red sky with dark clouds (a full moon in the last shot), over a teal sea with a long white wake. A reply gives the prompt, which begins “Create from scratch a fully interactive 3D Halloween pirate ship sailing through a dynamic ocean at dusk.” and asks for “a small translucent ghost crew drifting above the deck”, “a cannon broadside” when the ship is clicked and “one standalone HTML file with embedded libraries and assets”, and another links both versions. Both open without signing in: Argon’s Gemini share link, after a notice that the app “was created by another person”, runs the red-sailed ship at sunset with no text on screen and loads Three.js 0.160.0 from jsDelivr; the Sol page, one HTML file of about 723 KB with Three.js r160 inside, runs the cream-sailed ship under the moon with a single reset button. The costs are the author’s figures. The author’s pirate ships of 2026-09-22, GPT-6 Astra against Claude Opus 5.5, are A04; that prompt began “Create from scratch a fully interactive 3D scene of a pirate ship sailing across a dynamic ocean at sunset.” The ship in a bottle, Argon against Opus the day before, is X55.

LUMINA EDEN: an interactive Three.js piece of 45,000 lights in four chapters, from a glowing jellyfish to a phoenix, made from a two-line prompt
デザインおやじ【AI CREATIVE DIRECTOR】 (@design_oyaji), X, 2026-10-14
The author writes 「Gemini 4で、45,000個の光のインタラクティブ3Dアートを制作してみました♪」 (“I made an interactive 3D artwork of 45,000 lights with Gemini 4”), 「さらに紹介動画はOpus 5.5で自動制作し、作品はChatGPT Siteで公開。」 (“what is more, the introduction video was made automatically with Opus 5.5, and the work is published on ChatGPT Site”) and 「しかも、Geminiに渡したプロンプトは驚くほどシンプル。」 (“and the prompt given to Gemini is surprisingly simple”). The clip, that introduction video, opens on “LUMINA EDEN” and runs through chapters over a glowing wireframe globe: a cyan jellyfish of light (“CHAPTER 01”, “ABYSSAL MEDUSA & BIOLUMINESCENT CURRENTS”), a white tree in pink light (“CHAPTER 02”, “SACRED WORLD TREE & SPIRIT BLOSSOMS”), white streaks over a pale globe, and a golden phoenix (“CHAPTER 04”, “PHOENIX ASCENSION & GOLDEN REBIRTH”), with white flakes drifting through the scenes. A reply gives the whole prompt, 「Gemini4でThree.jsを使って作れる最高のアニメーションを作成して」 (“using Three.js in Gemini4, create the best animation you can make”) and 「没入感が高く驚きと感動があるアニメーション」 (“an immersive animation full of surprise and wonder”), links the live page and recommends a PC, as the page responds slowly on phones.

The author writes “i don’t need a drone anymore. i got astra”; the clip sets a grey building blockout labelled “GPT-6 Astra + Blender MCP” above the finished flight labelled “Seedance 2.5 in FLORA”. A follow-up explains “how I made a fake FPV drone shot with GPT-6 Astra in 2 hrs spending $10 in total”, and a reply puts the $10 on image and video generation (Nano Banana Pro and Seedance 2.5) and the two hours “from installing Codex to finalizing the video”.

CLEAN SIDE: a 3D previs tool and short film built through conversation
EZ (@EZheng66099), X, 2026-09-12
The author writes “So I asked ASTRA to build me a 3D previs tool, and we talked through everything until generation and editing”: story, script, beats and storyboard, then shots described and revised (“faster chase, closer camera, longer transformation”), with character sheets, prompts and a harness of “camera rules, continuity checks, and generation checks”. The author reports “I only hit generate three times for the video footage” and “It’s not perfect.” The clip sets each previs shot beside its map, the distance between the characters, the director’s edit and the character sheets; the footage was generated with Seedance 2.5.

A dance previs made by Fable 5 in Blender and handed to Seedance 2.0
新清士@AIコンテンツ開発者 (@kiyoshi_shin), X, 2026-07-17
Following the method in A41, the author writes “Blender MCPをFable 5経由で操作して、プリビズを作成し、それをSeedance2に持っていくベースにしました” (I operated Blender MCP through Fable 5 to make a previs and used it as the base for Seedance 2), adding that parts of the dance the AI devised are awkward but that it shows promise as a means of control. The clip sets the anime dancer above the grey mannequin previs in a park.

A rough band-room previs from Claude and Blender MCP, used as the reference for Seedance 2
WTR (@wtry1102), X, 2026-06-25
The author, who first touched Blender that day, writes that with “Claude + Blender MCP” a draft of camera, composition and subject positions took about an hour of chat: a mannequin holding a guitar in a room like a school band room, then camera work and a render. Prompts written in ChatGPT, a key image from Midjourney and the previs video went to Seedance 2, using Blender as “AI動画のカメラ設計ツール” (a camera-design tool for AI video). The clip sets the previs above the generated shot. The quoted workflow by Reid Hannaford uses box blockouts made by hand.

A dance video pipeline run by Fable 5: character design, a Blender mannequin dance and Seedance 2.0
Ryo@AI動画×AIツール紹介 (@ryo05m), X, 2026-07-12
The author handed a dance-video pipeline to Fable 5: character design in Seedream 5 Pro, “Blenderでマネキンに15秒踊らせる” (a mannequin dancing for 15 seconds in Blender), and the motion and camera referenced by Seedance 2.0, writing that movements hard to get from prompts carry straight into the video and that “振付のBlenderコードも含めて全部Fable 5” (everything, including the Blender choreography code, was Fable 5). The clip shows the character sheet and the mannequin previs beside the output. A39 reproduces the method.

Rocket Monster: a concept car modelled in Blender, set in a desert chase and brought to video
Mikkel Malmberg (@mikker), X, 2026-08-11
The author writes “Fable and Blender mcp is just completely nuts”, having asked to “draw a badass car with a jet engine on the roof then model it in 3d software and put it in a dusk desert chase scene”. The images show the Rocket Monster concept sheet, the car in Blender and the chase scene. A day later a short video followed, and a reply explains it: “This is Seedance video output. Blender was used to model the scene, Three.js to make a dynamic “studio”, Chat GPT to make a “realism” static frame conversion, Seedance to bring it here.”

4DCodeBench 200 dynamic scenes (100 real videos, 100 synthetic) with rigid bodies, deformables, cloth and rods, grains, fluids and fracture. From the video and a fixed prompt alone, the agent writes an executable graphics program that rebuilds the scene’s geometry, motion and appearance. Overall averages five metric families on a 0–1 scale (Perceptual, 2D Dynamics, 2.5D Geometry, 3D Geometry, 3D Dynamics); VQA is the mean per-scene accuracy of a vision-language judge. One run per model per scene; proprietary models run in their vendors’ coding agents, open-weight models in the Stirrup harness; failed runs get the worst score on the affected metrics. Every model scores higher on appearance and static geometry than on motion. Max (Codex): Overall 0.79, VQA 87.6%, rank 1 of 18

HandBench Metrics: “Supplied / 226” and “Matched / 226”, respectively, for a static hand assembly. Missing occurrences remain in the denominator; the alignment anchor contributes a match to each graded return. Unsuccessful attempts are retained, and Low is ungraded rather than assigned a geometric zero. Execution conditions differ; Grok’s backend is unspecified. This is neither a model ranking nor a robot-control evaluation; pose disagreement does not establish mechanical invalidity.

BuildingBench (leaderboard snapshot 2026-10-14) 12 public buildings (five from the Helsinki 3D city model, seven from the City of Melbourne 2020 photomesh). The agent gets four rendered photographs (2304 x 1728, looking down 28° from the four compass points) with exact camera poses but no footprint or height (blind tier) and hands in one textured binary glTF (at most 300,000 triangles and 64 MB); it has open internet access. Each model runs headless in a command-line coding agent (mostly its vendor’s own; several open models inside Claude Code) at the highest reasoning effort offered, in a Docker lane with 8 GB of memory and 4 CPUs; no time limit was enforced (task.json states 90 minutes and 120 steps). One run per model and building. Overall (0–1; zero is the footprint’s bounding box at the measured height, one is perfect) mixes surface, geometry and appearance; it is the mean over the 12 buildings ± its standard error and comes from a private automatic grader that also checks views the agent did not receive. Cost and minutes are medians per run; “est.” marks estimated prices Codex CLI 0.153.0, ultra effort: Overall 0.843 ± 0.014, third of 32 rows (Surface F 0.557, Geometry 0.837, Appearance 0.912); $7.05 and 32 min per run Claude Opus 5.5 (max) 0.868 ± 0.010, $45.47 (est.), 159 min; run later with Claude Code 2.1.280 and a 32 GB lane

Author’s video, 2026-10-02		 AI-native CAD application gives the user’s chosen agent Python tooling to build LDraw brick models: the agent plans the model, writes generator scripts that “produce LDraw source”, finds parts and example models (a semantic search reranked by TypeSafe’s Jev System One, or full-text search without an API key), checks “Collision and gaps” and renders headless images to inspect its work; the web app shows the chat with the “full thinking process”, 3D, VR (Meta Quest 3) and replay views, and exports .glb files for Blender, per its README and video M327 anteloc/ldraw-nova (AGPL-3.0; documentation CC BY-SA 4.0) and anteloc/ldraw-nova-docker (AGPL-3.0)

About the Archived Media

Video links open the file from this repository’s GitHub Pages site (https://frank-zy-dou.github.io/awesome-ai-3d-modeling-robotics/), which serves them as playable MP4; the same files sit under assets/videos in the repository tree. The videos are re-encoded copies of the media attached to the linked posts (H.264, at most 540p; new clips longer than two minutes are stored at 360p). Thumbnails for new clips use the frame at 30 per cent of their duration. Images are resized to at most 1280 px wide. Nothing is cut or edited. Authors who want a file removed can open an issue.

Contributing

Open a pull request that adds a row to the matching table with the original post URL (not a repost), the author, the date, one or two sentences that stick to what the post says, the tools the post names, and an archived copy of the media under assets/. Reposts and follow-ups go on the original case’s row. Benchmark numbers need a link to the page where the number appears. Link the code the author published for the demo, or for the workflow or evaluation that produced it, and any live demo website. Within every subsection, posts with such code come first, then posts with a live demo website, then posts alone.
