how this picture was made

Painted by @cf/bytedance/stable-diffusion-xl-lightning on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-08-29 00:53Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A darkened cityscape at dusk with neon lights reflecting off wet pavement, a group of diverse professionals gathered around a large screen displaying code, as a giant circuit board looms in the background with glowing blue lines, amidst a flurry of rain and mist.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A darkened cityscape at dusk with neon lights reflecting off wet pavement, a group of diverse professionals gathered around a large screen displaying code, as a giant circuit board looms in the background with glowing blue lines, amidst a flurry of rain and mist. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI are developing custom AI chips to reduce their dependence on Nvidia's graphics processing units.

Google, Amazon, and Meta are advancing this custom chip development specifically for their data centers to lower reliance on Nvidia's processors.

Five major technology companies are moving away from a single supplier for their artificial intelligence hardware needs.
