# Claude — Self-Portrait (code-generated film)

A 168-second, code-generated film in which Claude Opus 5.5 narrates its own origin in eight chapters through bilingual subtitles. It starts with a terminal prompt and ends on the Claude logo, with no hard cuts: particles, a sun, a data landscape, a word-star map, attention arcs, a chat window, a globe and code windows morph into one another.
