Yonkers Rises

Simon Willison built a Three.js animation in which Yonkers rises as a giant mech and stomps around Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, using OpenStreetMap mapping data, after prompting Claude Fable 5.2 Medium to create it. Willison reported that the model correctly deduced his typo "átomos" meant "stomps," and he published the tool at tools.simonwillison.net/yonkers-rises. The exercise was a hands-on test of Claude Fable 5.2's 3D modeling and animation capabilities.

Make a three js animation where yonkers stands up as a big mech (cool stand up motion) and átomos around manhattan and queens and Brooklyn, use openstreetmap mapping data

It correctly deduced that "átomos" was a mobile keyboard typo for "stomps":
