Show HN: Made an open-source Lego AI generator

By antelocnova 1 min read 4 views 0 comments

Hi there :-) New on HN, first time posting.Past year, around December, I started experimenting with making ChatGPT and Claude generate source code in LDraw language.This LDraw is literally an "assembly" language, a low-level programming language that describes how to assemble LEGO pieces together into models, one placement instruction at a time.When executed by specific tools, like e.g. LDView, LeoCAD, Studio... these instructions become LEGO CAD models, that can be interacted with, modified, etc.Or, in other words: one LDraw source file in .mpd or .ldr format is equivalent to one LEGO CAD model.So, the idea I had was: if I manage for maybe ChatGPT or Claude to generate high-quality LDraw source files... then, they would actually be generating high-quality LEGO CAD models, right?Then, after months of iterations and trying one thing after the other... it worked!!!Long story short: using GPT-6 Astra and Opus 5.5, I've managed to create a python toolset, instructions, and docs for agents in general. Now, these can be used by them to generate LDraw models.I've packed it all as a dockerized web app for others to try and experiment, with several providers (and agents) to choose from…
