how this picture was made

Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-10-13 01:07Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A crowded data center room with rows of servers and technicians in yellow vests, while outside the window a cityscape with construction cranes and buildings under development stretches into the distance, under a cloudy grey sky with a few rays of sunlight breaking through.

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 crowded data center room with rows of servers and technicians in yellow vests, while outside the window a cityscape with construction cranes and buildings under development stretches into the distance, under a cloudy grey sky with a few rays of sunlight breaking through. 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.

Shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix extended sharp losses on Tuesday. The selloff was tied to intensifying Chinese competition in memory chips and concerns around the sustainability of the artificial intelligence investment boom.

Wider Seoul equities also extended losses late Tuesday morning, with the same concerns emerging ahead of major corporate earnings reports.

On the same day, Samsung announced it had unveiled next-generation memory and storage technology strategies aimed at improving artificial intelligence infrastructure performance.

It appears the strategy announcement landed against the exact market pressures driving the day's share declines.
