Showcase

Three fixed prompts, identical for every chat model. Outputs are archived verbatim — copy the prompt to reproduce.

Task prompt · identical for all models
Build a single-file HTML page using three.js from a CDN: a low-poly planet with a tilted ring of ~200 orbiting particles, a soft key light plus rim light, slow auto-rotation, and drag-to-orbit controls. No build tools — one file only.

Every model will run this exact prompt; the output lands here verbatim, with tokens and per-run cost.
