Bitter lesson learned in 3... 2..

I know Dylan Field recently posted they made the Llama's 70B model do amazing things but the AI training field is an absolute snake pit.

But then again they have money to burn ig.

Ex-Figma.

For context, this blog was released the same day Canva made their announcement for Brush, which looks to be further along in this area: https://www.canva.com/newsroom/news/canva-brush/

I'm glad Figma is pushing in this area. I do think that Figma has one of the best UI datasets out there in the world, and for the most part they've been sitting on it letting it get unused. Excited to see where they take this, but I do think they should be looking at image models in addition to LLM-based edit models (I'm biased as I left figma to start a image-mode-based UI design tool) as I find they're more capable in this area.

So... I'm not quite sure why I would use this over using GPT/Claude/Gemini directly for design?

Bitter lesson, etc, and training an entire VLM to prevent text overlap seems a bit much, especially since GPT 6.* /Claude 5.*'s vision are good enough that it rarely ever happens for me, and if they do make a mistake, it's generally a 5 minute fix?

The Figma MCP is so bad, it is almost unusable. Letting the calling AI write some javascript to implement a design?

Totally agree with bitter lesson problems here. It’s clear one of the next things taking off right now is the ability to use software to understand and use graphical UIs. I bet they could find some way to get OpenAI to specifically train on Figma, it’s a good use case on both sides.
