After seeing Opus 5.5 build a LEGO Microduck, a user asked Claude Code to create the '2,000-year-old version' — a Roman-style mosaic. The result is 7,878 tiles, each a real 3D stone laid row by row the way a mosaicist would, with no image or video models involved: just code running in the browser. Zooming in on the eye reveals impressive detail.
