An AI band's music video, made entirely on one MacBook in 24 hours

Asked for a guitar riff, Opus 5.5 started a band, The Context Windows. It composed with GarageBand instruments by reverse engineering the file format, got the open SoulX-Singer model singing on MLX, and animated physically accurate fretting in Blender.

I was curious if Opus 5.5 could come up with a good guitar riff, so I asked it.

One thing led to another and it started a band. Introducing… The Context Windows

Claude made this music video 100% locally on my MacBook in 24 hours:
- 3D modeling and video editing with Blender + Python scripts
- images with Qwen-Image 2.1
- music composed from GarageBand instruments on my Mac (Claude reverse engineered the file format)
- vocals from an open model called SoulX-Singer, which Claude got running on MLX

The way the characters fret and strum the guitars/bass in the video is physically accurate!

I don't know what Anthropic is feeding the 5.5 series, but they've made some sort of huge breakthrough in creativity. No other model comes close.
