Daily
Slot S
S, anywhere. One frame a day from her approved canon: one plain scene line through GPT Image 2.5’s edit endpoint, no mask, no second stage. Slot H’s S arm on its own slot, with Haiku choosing a new city each day.

Paused trial
Slot H
The prompt-complexity trial. One real fashion brief a day, fired three times on the same engine — the full ~4,500-character director prompt, that same prompt compressed to ~500 characters by Opus, and the identical instruction handed to Haiku. A vs B asks whether simplicity wins; B vs C asks whether the writer matters or only the length.

Every render we pay for
The Cutting Room
Every image we pay for that never reaches the blog: test renders, the variants we tried, and the references they were judged against, grouped by experiment with what each one showed. The Ultra-era critic reshoots stay in an archive tab.

LearnAB uses real systems to understand models, agents, automation, failure, and iteration.
BuildFashion, Traveler, Social, and Lab turn those lessons into working pipelines.
ObserveEvery output is evidence: quality, drift, cost, reliability, taste, and audience response.
ImproveLab tests changes before production adopts them. No one-off miracles, only promoted findings.
TeachThe maps and docs make the system understandable to other builders.
