A full video about making a voice app, from a one-shot prompt

With no image AI and no reference photos, a Python program that imitates each painter's brushwork placed the pixels one by one. It is about 7,500 lines of code using only Python's built-in features.

Knowledge of the painters alone was enough to turn their brush texture into code.

A short animated story made with code. The official Anthropic account posted it first when introducing works made with Opus 5.5.

Code alone makes an animation that tells a story.

An animation called 'Sweet Tooth' was made from a single request in 18 minutes 31 seconds. Next, 'Oktoberfest' took 14 minutes 48 seconds.

A full animation comes out in one go in under 20 minutes.

A train journey with scenery passing outside the window, drawn only with JavaScript code and no image files. It took a single prompt and about 45 minutes.

Even a printmaking (risograph) art style can be expressed in code.

A short animation called 'small print'. Opus 5.5 made the story, every frame and the music, and it was rendered from a single HTML file with no image files.

No human wrote a line of code, and one model handled direction, drawing and music.

An animated pixel art wizard made only with code, with no images. The prompt used is posted alongside it.

Without a single character image, pixel art comes to life through code alone.

A Replit launch promo video made in one go, together with the motion graphics tool motion.so.

15 minutes is enough to make a promo video.

Opus 5.5 made the promo video for the investment app Talis, from the opening sequence to the final screen. The code it wrote was also posted to GitHub.

An app promo video becomes a 10-minute job.

With a single prompt, it made a launch promo video for Opus 5.5, complete with game-style background music. It used only 12% of the 5-hour usage limit.

It makes a whole video in its default state, with no extra tools or setup.

A drawing program that produces a different picture every time you change a single number (the seed).

It is a generative art tool that makes endless pictures from rules alone.

A website that turns any photo into a picture drawn with a single continuous line, and exports the drawing process as a video. It has 4 drawing modes, 11 tools, 7 paper textures and 4K export.

It goes beyond a showcase demo. It is a finished tool you can use right away.

An animation of a cosmic scene, with planets and multicolored orbit lines overlapping as they circle a glowing star, rendered with a vivid hatched texture. The author wrote that they made this video with Opus 5.5.

Opus 5.5 can also make motion graphics (moving graphic videos) with a hand-drawn texture.

A short animation in which everyone in a village sends Claude a request, but one girl sends a question asking what Claude loves. Opus 5.5 drew every frame in JavaScript code, from the cut-paper night sky and rooftops to the flying paper planes.

Code alone, with no drawing tools, can make a story with a warm hand-drawn feel.

Opus 5.5 was asked to animate its own life from the day it was born until now. It used no video model and no image files. JavaScript code drew every scene, one brushstroke at a time.

Code alone, with no drawing tools or video AI, can make a print-style animation that tells a story.

An SVG animation (an image file format drawn by writing code) made from a single request to Opus 5.5. It shows an angry-faced Claude logo and the OpenAI logo facing off across the letters VS, like a fighting game.

Code alone, with no drawing tools, can produce a fighting-game versus screen in one go.

Opus 5.5 ultra ran 4 agents (AI that works on its own through multiple steps in a row) and made a short film in 1 hour 30 minutes. The footage is styled like a Mars rover camera. Everything was made from scratch, and no AI voice API (an outside service that turns text into speech) was used.

With no filming and no voice actors, a few agents can finish a directed video in a little over an hour.

Opus 5.5 wrote the code for a 1-minute video that twists an ordinary day at DemaWating, a small housing company, into something strange and eerie, then added sound and rendered it (turned the code into an actual video file). There was only one request. Rendering took 45 minutes, and it used only 4% of the weekly usage on a $20-a-month plan.

Without video editing software, one paragraph of text and little usage can make a short horror video with both visuals and sound.

An animation in pure code in which Opus 5.5 imagines itself working on hard problems. On a night with a crescent moon, a small figure glowing orange pushes a huge round boulder up a slope.

Code alone, without a single image file, can hold an atmospheric scene and even a metaphor (conveying meaning by likening one thing to another).

Asked to paint New Zealand travel photos like acrylic paintings, Opus 5.5 used only JavaScript code to draw scenes such as a spring pasture with a flock of sheep grazing. The pictures appear as an open book, with the original photo placed in the corner.

Even if you can't use drawing tools, you can turn your travel photos into a picture book drawn in code.

An animation in which Opus 5.5 painted the sea and waves at sunset and a wind-bent tree on a hill, like a painting with visible brushstrokes. Every frame of the video was drawn in JavaScript, a web programming language.

Code alone, with no drawing tools or image-generation AI, can make a landscape animation with lively brushwork.

Opus 5.5 used the video tool HyperFrames to make a launch video for the app Shotbase in one shot (a single request). It took less than 20 minutes.

Even without using video editing software, you can have a product launch video ready in a short time.

Asked about its new abilities, Opus 5.5 answered that its strength is visual understanding precise down to a single pixel, then made a short video story starring a single raindrop. On a blue, blueprint-like screen, a raindrop marked with measurement ticks and the molecular structure inside it are drawn in fine lines.

A model can show its strengths right away as a visible piece of work instead of only describing them.

The author gave it only one skill they had made themselves, a hand-drawn canvas animation skill (a bundle of instructions that tells Claude how to do a specific task), and asked for a history of how Claude models have developed. Opus 5.5 made an animation that looks hand-drawn using only plain JavaScript.

With one well-made skill, you can get an explainer animation in the art style you want from code alone, without video editing tools.

A nine-part music video featuring Clawd, the Claude character, was made in code in Claude Code to go with the song 'I'm Upping My P(doom)'. The person only said to use the character and to add visuals and scene transitions for each lyric. Opus 5.5 wrote the storyboard (a scene-by-scene plan) and even the guide for subagents (helper AIs that split up the work) itself.

The model built the whole repository, from scene concepts to brushstroke-style art and rendering code, so a song became a video through code alone.

Given a prompt, Opus 5.5 produced a pixel animation (old-game-style art drawn with small square dots, set in motion) in under 5 minutes. In a space scene with ringed planets and nebulae, a small animal runs along a rainbow road.

Without placing dot art one frame at a time, you can get moving pixel art from a single request in a few minutes.

A video of about 70 seconds showing a flock of birds flying together over a reed field at dusk, drawn with JavaScript alone in a risograph style (printing one color layer at a time, which leaves a rough dot texture). The only instruction was to pick any theme, and for background music it found free instrument sound effects and added them.

Even when you leave everything to the model, from deciding what to make to the art and music, a short film comes out.

Opus 5.5 was asked to make a pixel art animation of a neural network (an AI computing structure modeled on the human brain) as it learns. The result shows a handwritten digit entering on the left, passing through several layers of dots and lines in the middle, and leading to answers from 0 to 9 on the right.

Just by asking in words, you can turn the invisible process of AI learning into a picture ready to use in a class.

Opus 5.5 made the visuals for a music video to fit a song. It is a hand-drawn-style animation featuring a scientist character in a white coat in a lab with a view of the night sky.

You can also hand an AI model the visuals of a music video, with characters and backgrounds that suit the song.

After one request on claude.ai, Opus 5.5 used the 3D program Blender to make a short clay animation. It shows the motor protein kinesin (a protein that carries cargo inside cells) walking along a microtubule (a thin tube that acts as a road inside the cell), with subtitles.

Researchers can turn movement inside cells, once seen only in textbook drawings, into an explainer video with a single prompt.

Blue orbs of light drift through a dark space, and letters rise between them. It is a test scene for a short film to be released later, made only from 46,000 characters of math and code written by Opus 5.5, without a video generation model (an AI that makes video from text or images).

Even if you cannot fully describe the scene in your head in words, you can create film-like visuals with code alone.

Given the Opus 5.5 launch announcement tweet as is and asked to make it in code, it made a launch video in JavaScript where lines are drawn like a blueprint. It used no music, sound effect or image files, and all the visuals and sound come from code.

Without a video editing program or asset files, you can generate a promotional video in code from a single announcement post.

With no image files or libraries, a horse running across a field was drawn pixel by pixel in a single HTML file using only JavaScript and Canvas 2D (the web browser's drawing feature). On a 128×96 pixel screen, inverse kinematics (a method that works backward from the position of the hoof tip to calculate joint angles) moves the legs so it gallops through 12 poses.

Pixel animation that used to be drawn by hand one frame at a time can be made with code alone, without a single image.

Given the same prompt that was given to Gemini last year, Opus 5.5 drew New York at dusk beyond the Brooklyn Bridge in SVG (vector graphics drawn with code). Zooming, panning and control over the passage of time all work, and a feature for finding 47 hidden elements is also included in the single HTML file.

A single request produced more than a landscape: a small work you can explore by interacting with it yourself.

In this animation, made with code alone and no video generation model, the Claude character walks along the timeline of a cartoon-style video editor, trimming and polishing three clips: a sunrise, coffee and a cat. The timeline, voice waveform, transition effects, export button and even the phone preview screen were all drawn in code.

Unlike video AI that guesses and draws the next frame, this approach programs each element on screen one by one, so you can change the video however you want.

Opus 5.5 turned the development of OpenAI's GPT models into a hand-drawn-style timeline animation, using only plain JavaScript. In the June 2018 GPT-1 section, it links the words in a sentence with curves to show how the model reads the relationships between words.

You can make a video explaining the history of a technology with code alone, without a video editing program.

'Claude's Plan' is a short animated video Opus 5.5 made from a single request. It shows a person in a room late at night puzzling over a problem marked HARD on a whiteboard, drawn with code alone and no image files, and it is dedicated to the creator @jeffgwoah.

Without drawing tools, a single prompt can produce a hand-drawn-style animation that tells a story.

Starting from a 2-second clip and extending it to 17 seconds, then 22 seconds, Opus 5.5 made three videos. They show a stick figure that looks drawn in chalk on a blackboard flying a kite, and Opus 5.5 also made the background music.

Drawing, motion and music: one model can supply every ingredient of a short video.

From a single short prompt, Opus 5.5 made a sand art animation (pictures drawn by scattering and sweeping sand). It added the voice and sound effects itself, without the 3D program Blender or the web 3D tool Three.js, and the result was never edited.

A short video with drawing, voice and sound can come from a single request, with no video tools.

A single request produced a 29.5-second hand-drawn-style video introducing Teemo, a League of Legends champion. The Teemo art, the march and the sound effects were all made in code, and it found the figures on its own in Riot's official data and the League of Legends wiki: 615 health, 500 range, and mushrooms that last up to 5 minutes.

A game promo video, from research to art and music, can be handed off in one request.
