Our note
A 3D optics bench where dragging a black hole bends a galaxy's light into arcs and an Einstein ring; one prompt, then three overnight rounds of reviewer and fixer agents, 5h28m and $90 at API prices.
The creator’s post
I asked Opus 5.5 to explain gravitational lensing by building an interactive black hole lab One prompt for the first version, then a dynamic workflow to polish it for three rounds while I slept. This is what I woke up to: 5h 28m end to end, $90 at API prices https://blackhole.voxyz.ai Drag the black hole and the sky behind it bends into arcs, closing into a full ring when everything lines up Each round ran 3 agents. Two reviewers each picked 9 to 10 issues and ranked them P0, P1, P2. The third one fixed them. Round 1: 3D materials and lighting + UI and type Round 2: camera motion and interaction + science-communication design Round 3: a design director deciding whether it ships + visual QA and performance Every P0 got fixed, the rest only if worth it. When the two reviewers disagreed, it picked one and wrote down why. It backed up before each round, checked screenshots after, and rolled back anything it couldn't fix.
