Reddit user challenges local LLMs with complex HTML slinky animation task

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit posed a creative challenge to local AI models, asking them to generate a single HTML file for a "slinky test." The prompt specified a rainbow-colored slinky that continuously tumbles down an up-escalator, never reaching the bottom due to the escalator's movement. The request also included requirements for a drop button and a reset button, all to be implemented using only canvas and code without external libraries. AI

IMPACT Tests the creative coding and multi-modal generation capabilities of local LLMs.
