A moody, cinematic video of a misty pine forest at dusk, with layered orange-and-purple clouds, a hazy distant silhouette and tiny birds drifting across the sky. It looks like AI video footage, but @chetaslua says every frame is pure code, one-shotted from a single prompt. The painterly haze, depth layering and low-light colour grading are what make it feel filmed instead of generated. The post pushed it as proof that code can rival image and video models, and the clip pulled 1.8M views. The prompt is in the post's screenshot, so you can rerun it.

Atmospheric depth: layered clouds, fog, tree silhouettes and drifting birds
Prompt is public in the post, so anyone can rerun and compare it

“Fable 5.5 its over for video and image models 🤯 THIS IS PURE CODE one shotted this video holy shit , how this is more beautiful than ai video models Two ways to check this yourself: Ask: “Where did @karpathy go in 2026?” with web search and memory turned off. Only the new Fable knows the answer. Then give it the prompt. Run the same prompt I used for the test (it’s in the screenshot) and see for yourself. Don’t rely on Grok for basic reasoning like this. Grok doesn’t have up-to-date knowledge of niche stuff. Either join the community or run the test yourself. Also, a knowledge cutoff doesn’t mean a model knows everything before that date. Sometimes a model doesn’t know about an event even if it happened before its cutoff. This test shows that too. Run the same prompt on regular Opus 5.5 and the quality drops. On Fable 5.1 it’s worse.”
