Codex and Claude Can Now Draw Diagrams Too
burkov · x · 2026-07-16
The author notes they have waited a long time for this: Codex and Claude can now generate diagrams based on verbal descriptions or rough sketches, and can modify existing charts.
They believe this is a "time-saving killer feature" for textbook authors and tech bloggers. For instance, the included image shows the gradient flow during backpropagation in Deep RL when the target is not detached, a concept that will be heavily explained in their upcoming Deep RL book.
