Our note
A three-minute history of AI, from "Attention Is All You Need" to AGI, illustrating eras with scenes like a GPT-2 node graph completing "a herd of unicorns"; rendered from code with Remotion, SVG, Canvas and a synthesized score.
The creator’s post
I wanted to quickly create a short video with Opus 5.5 about the history of AI, from "Attention is all you need" to AGI. No stock footage, no image or video generators: every frame is rendered from code. This 3-minute film was made 100% in code by Claude in Claude Code: ~7,400 lines of React/TypeScript (Remotion), every image drawn in SVG and Canvas, an open-source TTS voice, and a score synthesized in Python. No stock footage. No image generators. Id say pretty cool! Tookl about 1h and 7% weekly rates.
