Claude creates 3D Lord of the Rings world for ₹950; Andrej Karpathy impressed
AI expert Andrej Karpathy highlighted a project where Claude Opus 5 built a 3D environment based on the first paragraph of The Lord of the Rings. The process cost $10 (roughly ₹950) and involved Claude producing 5,500 lines of code throughout a two-hour period to generate the visuals. Describing the result as "mind-boggling," Karpathy noted that large language models possess incredible endurance.
