3 Years and Tens of Thousands of Lines of Code vs. One Prompt: AI Scene Generation's Leap
liliyu_lili · x · 2026-11-06
YueYangAI recalls building Holodeck three years ago — a promptable system generating diverse, interactive 3D environments for Embodied AI — by spending an entire summer writing tens of thousands of lines of code with GPT-4, carefully decomposing scene generation into small steps. Today, Inkling Small 2 generates the same scene from a single prompt, a striking illustration of AI's pace of progress.
