Animate one LLM request as code-drawn frames—no After Effects
Explaining an LLM serving pipeline usually means slides nobody finishes watching.
What hurt
ElioJackee (@ElioJackee) borrowed the Motion Lab trick: every frame is a pure function of t, built with Grok Bot. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Prompt pins goal, 1920×1080 ~18s 30fps, hand-drawn style, architecture TOKENIZE→SCHEDULE→PREFILL→DECODE→STREAM with KV as FILL ONCE then READ+APPEND loop, full overview always visible, renderAt(t) with no clocks/random.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
LLM request pipeline animation (author-quoted)
Quoted from @ElioJackee — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
1. Goal: animate one LLM request through a serving pipeline so a viewer gets the path in one glance. 2. Canvas: 1920×1080, landscape, ~18s, 30fps, H.264. 3. Style: hand-drawn — cream paper, ink outlines, marker washes, monospace labels. 4. Architecture: TOKENIZE → SCHEDULE → PREFILL → DECODE → STREAM → RESPONSE. KV CACHE is NOT a linear step — Prefill FILL ONCE into KV; Decode ⇄ KV (READ + APPEND) until stop. 5. Always show the full overview. Pulse the active node; move packets along every edge (main chain + KV loop). Animate GPU util + KV occupancy with the request. 6. Render contract: every frame is a pure function of t (renderAt(t)); no clocks/random; pin stage timings to frame numbers; then export.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/ElioJackee/status/2109253928370221199 (credit @ElioJackee).
- 2Paste the author's full prompt into a new bot.
- 3Let it generate the renderAt(t) code and export H.264.
- 4Watch once for timing glitches; ask for frame-pinned fixes.
- 5Credit the author if you publish the clip.
Approval fence
Export is fine; posting the video still needs your yes.
What to tweak
Pin stage timings to frame numbers so the render is reproducible.
