I've been watching the space as well, waiting for the day I can stop fiddling with widgets and just tell the damn thing about the shapes I want and the ways in which they will move. Alas, we're far from that yet.

Care to drop a bit of info as a follow up to this claim? Curious!

> That's getting solved already in china leading labs, and bottlenecked by the lack of good training data, which china is solving with mass labor.

What work are you referring to here?

Zoo doesn't seem to be a great website, on my normally sized display there is a small horizontal scrollbar that moves like 5 pixels

> LLMs are still very weak at spatial reasoning compared to diffusion models

Don't know what diffusion model can do, but 100% agree with the "LLMS are very weak at spatial reasoning" comment.

I build a rather complex blueprint-image-to-3D-brep-model a couple of months back using codex ... ugh the damn thing has really no idea where things are in space, something a 3 year old figures out instinctively.

It did end up saving some time as compared to modeling the object myself in a CAD package, but there was so many completely obvious thing I had to explain ... very hard to believe when compared to what codex can pull of with code.
