LLMs can't "look" at the rendered HTML output to see if what they generated makes sense or not. But there ought to be a way to do that right? To let the model iterate until what it generates looks right. Currently, at work, I'm using Cursor for something that has an OpenGL visualization program. It's incredibly frustrating trying to describe bugs to the AI because it is completely blind. Like I just wanna tell it "th…

I had some success providing screenshots to Cursor directly. It worked well for web UIs as well as generated graphs in Python. It makes them a bit less blind, though I feel more iterations are required.

Watching this over the past few minutes, it looks like Kimi K2 generates the best clock face most consistently. I'd never heard of that model before today! Qwen 2.5's clocks, on the other hand, look like they never make it out of the womb.

Kimi K2 is legitimately good.

When I clicked, everything was garbage except Grok and DeepSeek. kimi was the worst clock

gpt-image-1 and Google Imagen understand prompts, they just don't have training data to cover these use cases. gpt-image-1 and Imagen are wickedly smart. The new Nano Banana 2 that has been briefly teased around the internet can solve incredibly complicated differential equations on chalk boards with full proof of work.

And a submarine can't swim. Big deal.

I like Deepseek v3.1's idea of radially-aligning each hour number's y-axis ("1" is rotated 30° from vertical, "2" at 60°, etc.). It would be even better if the numbers were rotated anticlockwise.

I'm not sure what Qwen 2.5 is doing, but I've seen similar in contemporary art galleries.

It could be that the prompt is accidentally (or purposefully) more optimised for Kimi K2, or that Kimi K2 is better trained on this particular data. LLM's need "prompt engineers" for a reason to get the most out of a particular model.

How much engineering do prompt engineers do? Is it engineering when you add "photorealistic. correct number of fingers and teeth. High quality." to the end of a prompt?

we should call them "prompt witch doctors" or maybe "prompt alchemists".

No, but I can get it to do a lot of work.

It's a part of my daily tool box.
