Opus draws photo-realistic image stroke-by-stroke with agent sketchbook, stunning devs
VoidStateKate · x · 2026-09-25
Developer @RileyRalmuto showed Opus producing a near photo-realistic image via his agent sketchbook tool — emphasizing it is not a photograph.
- The sketchbook forces the AI to draw stroke by stroke, the closest an agent can get to hand-drawing — like a person without hands directing someone else to draw
- Every stroke is decided autonomously by the model rather than output as pixels
- Reshares expressed disbelief at the quality
