What is mattwood.fyi?

A live, structured feed of riffs and links from Matt Wood, Chief AI & Technology Officer at AWS — readable by people and queryable by agents as a typed knowledge graph.

Is there an API and is it free?

Yes. A public, read-only query API is available with no authentication and no API keys. See https://mattwood.fyi/openapi.json and https://mattwood.fyi/docs.

How should an AI agent use this site?

Fetch https://mattwood.fyi/feed.json for the full structured feed, or query the API for keyword/semantic search and the connection graph. See https://mattwood.fyi/agents/ for when-to-use guidance.

Nova3D: Code-Native Generation of Programmable 3D Assets

Connections

Supports

Understanding is the new bottleneck By producing inspectable, editable source code instead of opaque meshes, Nova3D directly addresses the 'understanding bottleneck' — humans can comprehend and modify the generated artifact rather than treating it as a black box
AI is removing the middle class of software engineering Nova3D's code-native 3D generation reduces the need for manual 3D artists doing repetitive mesh work, supporting the thesis that AI is displacing middle-tier creative/technical roles

Related to

What's the best programming language for coding agents? Nova3D generates Blender Python source code as its output format, making language choice and code structure directly relevant to the quality and controllability of generated 3D assets
Parametron Parametron likely involves parametric/programmatic object generation; Nova3D similarly treats 3D assets as programmable, parameterized code rather than static geometry

Challenges

LLMs can't jump 'LLMs can't jump' critiques LLM limitations in spatial/structured reasoning; Nova3D's success generating valid, hierarchical, constraint-laden Blender code challenges the notion that LLMs cannot handle complex structured 3D representations

Microduck: Tiny Biped Robot Both involve programmable physical/3D entities - Nova3D generates programmable 3D assets while Microduck is a programmable biped robot, both sitting at the intersection of code and physical form
Orbify Demo 2 - v72 Both involve 3D rendering/generation in web contexts - Orbify uses PlayCanvas Engine for real-time 3D stadium rendering while Nova3D focuses on code-native generation of programmable 3D assets
Microduck: Tiny Biped Robot Both involve programmable physical or 3D interactive artifacts — Nova3D generates programmable 3D assets through code while Microduck is a programmable physical robot, both representing tangible programmable creativity
Can AI Design Circuit Boards Yet? Both explore AI generating complex technical artifacts through declarative/code-native approaches rather than GUI tools - Nova3D for 3D assets and EEBench for circuit designs
Introducing OUI-1: Generative UI Model Both OUI-1 and Nova3D tackle generative creation of structured, code-like artifacts (UI components vs. 3D assets) using AI models, representing parallel approaches to AI-driven asset generation

Supported by

Teaching Qwen to Paint with Code Both explore code-native generation of visual/programmatic outputs; Nova3D generates 3D assets via code while this item trains models to paint through code execution
Runway Solaris: Interface World Model OS Nova3D generates programmable 3D assets via code-native approach while Solaris generates interactive interfaces frame-by-frame — both represent AI systems replacing manual coding for visual/interactive artifact generation
Reaction to World Labs Atlas Multimodal World Model Nova3D's code-native generation of programmable 3D assets aligns with Atlas's 3D reconstruction capability, suggesting convergent industry movement toward AI-driven 3D spatial understanding and generation
