Local models

Give a small model a brief and a set of drawing rules. See the program it writes and what those rules make possible.

What this teaches about RL

A model samples code → the renderer draws it → the scorer returns a reward → RL would update the model to make higher-reward outputs more likely. This page runs the first three steps only; weights stay fixed.

Fixed code-mode scaffolding removes metadata, layout and motion boilerplate from the model’s job. That may leave fewer ways to fail and more usable reward signals. The comparison measures that starting point; faster learning must be tested by actual training later. Both arms still generate code.

For these geometric exercises, educational reward = technical gate × rendered brief match. Wrong colours, positions or extra marks reduce the match. A blank or invalid program gets zero. Your artistic taste is a separate later experiment.

The selected task uses the same system prompt for every model. Layout and helpers stay fixed during a test. Runs use your Mac and do not train or change model weights.

The ladder study has not been run yet.

Counts are rendered brief successes / attempts. A provisional reliable level requires 16/20; these are development tasks, not a held-out benchmark.
