Screenshot of a Datasette chat interface showing a 3D rendered cartoon orange cat with black whiskers, closed eyes, pink nose and curled tail sitting in a teal decorative pot with gold trim and handles on a grid floor. Prompt: put the cat in the pot. Text: Thinking: …will be cone shapes, and I'll add torus-shaped eyes along with a nose and smile., Tool: edit_model, Happy Cat Sitting in Decorative Pot · revision 3 · 50 objects · drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan, Result: edit_model
