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 dimly lit server room fills with fog as autonomous agents manifest as glowing orbs, swirling around rows of humming servers, while a lone figure in a lab coat stands at the edge, looking concerned, amidst a backdrop of dark blue and purple hues. 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.

Cohere in advanced talks for $2B to $3B funding round
The Toronto-based AI company is seeking a valuation of $20 billion as the deal could close as early as next week.
By Owen Brandt · 4wCohere Inc. is in advanced talks to raise between US$2-billion and US$3-billion in a funding round that would value the company at US$20-billion. The round includes financing from the Canadian government and existing backers.
Sources familiar with the matter say the company shared these fundraising and valuation figures on a call with investors in the month before the report. The deal would rank as the largest on record by a private Canadian startup. Cohere was valued at roughly US$7-billion in September of the previous year.
The funding round could close as early as next week, though the timing could be pushed back. The German government is also in talks to participate in the financing.
