Claude Opus 5.5 generates art via code-based brushstroke simulation
October 1, 2026
Claude Opus 5.5 demonstrates a method for creating paintings by writing code that drives an oil paint simulation rather than using standard diffusion models. This approach treats the model as a logic-based painter, where every brushstroke is explicitly defined through code.
