Opus 5.5 made a black hole short film entirely in code — 3,000 lines, no video models

Given only the idea of the last black hole evaporating and a "make art" prompt, Opus 5.5 autonomously produced a short film with zero image or video models: 3,000 lines of Python built and rendered the whole office in Blender (each light rendered separately so lamps flicker and die one by one), plus a custom compositor, an original synthesizer score synced to the countdown, and narration via local open-source TTS Kokoro. The physics is real — countdown descends by powers of ten from 10^100 years, rising tone follows actual Hawking temperature, window brightness tracks the real luminosity curve — and the model QA'd its own mix with loudness measurements, spectrograms, and speech recognition. First cut: under two hours, half of it rendering.
