    I’m a bit behind the times…

    How does Opus actually paint? Thought it only generated text…

      Opus can see images, it just can't generate images.

      So it can "draw" an image programmatically (e.g., "place a black pixel at (0,0), place a blue pixel at (0,1)," etc.), then look at the image it is drawing as it is drawing it.

      Of course, you should be aware of the "pelican riding a bicycle" SVG benchmark test, which is effectively this process but in one shot.
