One prompt, 5,000 lines: Argon builds its own 3D ray-tracing engine in pure Python

fofrAI shared an experiment from playing with code painting in Argon: after casually asking it to build a realistic scene in pure Python, Argon wrote 5,000 lines of code and constructed its own 3D ray-tracing engine from first principles.
Argon also generated the accompanying video, prompted the TTS narration, and mixed in music from Lyria. Reposter technollama joked asking whether it can do "slopcore". A striking showcase of long-horizon code generation and autonomous multi-tool orchestration.
