Using Claude Opus 5.5, the creator prompted the AI to produce a visual representation of Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities' within a six-hour window, spending $25.66 on API costs. The process involved multiple iterations, culminating in a complex, imaginative visualization inspired by the poetic descriptions of 55 cities.
A web-based compiler combines any base font (like Inter or Roboto) with a chosen tokenizer (such as DeepSeek, GPT tokenizers, or Llama 3) to produce a 'token-space font' where every token occupies the same visual width. Users can preview text in the browser, upload custom fonts or tokenizers via Hugging Face links, and export compiled fonts, with an optional 'lite mode' for smaller file sizes.
A new visualization tool called FuzzyGraph plots equations in a non-binary mode, shading regions by how close they come to satisfying an equation rather than just marking exact solutions. This approach exposes hidden structures—dubbed 'black holes' and 'quasars'—in equations like slash-dot and inverse-square forms that are completely invisible on standard graphs. Simple test cases, such as x²+y²=0 versus its inverse 1/(x²+y²)=0, show how conventional graphing hides these error-based features entirely.
A hobbyist project lets users hover over tokens generated by a transformer language model to see which earlier tokens most influenced each output, by combining attention weights and value vector magnitudes across all heads and layers into a single opacity value. The demo highlights cases like verbatim copying of addresses or dates, showing the source text lighting up strongly when reproduced.
A data visualization project has mapped every structure in Los Angeles as a 3D box color-coded by the decade it was constructed. Users can pan, rotate and tilt the view to watch the city's growth unfold chronologically from 1880 through 2026.
A robotics developer describes attempting to offload the tedious process of visually debugging robot code to an LLM coding assistant equipped with an image encoder and MCP server access to a visualizer tool. The experiment largely failed: the assistant lacked an intuitive sense of what correct robot behavior looks like and struggled to navigate the debugging GUI, taking minutes to reach a viewpoint the developer could reach in seconds.
