this applies to all of sonnet 3.5+ and opus 3+ models... somehow they just 'get' ascii art and are able to use it 'creatively'. hence my thought about which art books anthropic scanned/consumed.
they can definetely 'see' better too both in 2D and quasi-3D space.
(apologies for lack of specificity i need to chew on this some more to express it better)
if you give a similar request to an open AI model the response is usually much more boring and safe, and lesser models again will create very simple and/or repetitive patterns.
i have tried every major model I can think of without any joy in terms of truly creative ascii art, apart from the odd glimmer from o3 (which needs a lot more instructions to do anything 'good') and more recently Kimi K2
(on which note have been thinking about devising some kind of asciiart benchmark based on https://t.co/x92GnGXqbh to test this more thoroughly)
