Animate how a diffusion image model works: start from pure noise and denoise step by step into a picture of a lighthouse, with the text prompt guiding each step.
Animate the token bucket rate limiter: tokens drip into a bucket at a fixed rate, each request takes a token, requests get rejected when the bucket is empty, and a burst drains it.
animate a 3x3 convolution filter sliding across a small grayscale image and building up the feature map, one cell at a time
animate gradient descent: a ball rolling down a loss surface, step by step, with the learning rate controlling the step size. show one run that overshoots too
animate binary search finding 37 in a sorted list of 16 numbers
Animate a diagram you already have.
Hit Animate and the same diagram starts moving, with the same labels, colours and layout. Play it, scrub through it, then download it.
Download it in the right size.
Landscape, square or story. Each one is laid out to fit, so nothing gets cropped.
