Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 doesn't generate images, it paints them

AI summary

Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 doesn't generate images the way other AI models do. Instead of computing pixels, the language model writes Python code that places hundreds of thousands of simulated brushstrokes on a virtual canvas, complete with bristle texture and paint application. A single photorealistic parking garage scene took roughly 700,000 strokes, according to Anthropic employee Jake Eaton.

Why it was chosen
Shows how Claude Fable 5.2 simulates painting stroke by stroke in Python code, demonstrating a language model planning step by step and correcting itself under physical constraints.

A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
