## Resource

Alex: Hello and welcome to The Generative AI Group Digest for the week of 10 May 2026! Maya: We're Alex and Maya. Alex: [excited] And wow, this week had everything: shiny demos, model politics, startup credits, research news, and a surprisingly intense debate about chat UIs. Maya: Let’s start with the demo that made everyone lean in. Anand S shared that Blender MCP journey, with Claude Code building a campus from a building as the starting point. Alex: Right, and the neat part is that it wasn’t just “make a 3D thing.” The demo showed Claude first inspecting the scene, counting vertices, checking materials, and even spotting hidden Array and Mirror modifiers in Blender. Maya: That’s a big idea for non-technical listeners: the AI didn’t just guess. It looked, measured, and then changed things carefully. Alex: Anand S even linked the full walkthrough at pavankumart18.github.io/ai-blender-design-journey/. It’s a good example of Claude Code plus Blender MCP, where MCP means Model Context Protocol, basically a standard way for the model to talk to tools. Maya: And the practical takeaway is huge: for creative work, “AI agent” doesn’t have to mean a chatbot. It can mean a system that can inspect a real project, reason about structure, and make edits step by step. Alex: That’s why Pratik Desai’s reply stood out too. He said he was really talking about “Readyplayerme style character T pose,” which is a great reminder that people want very specific production outputs, not just generic 3D generation. Maya: So if you’re building with AI tools, the lesson is: ask for the exact asset state you need. Pose, scale, rig, scene constraints, all of it. Alex: Next up, the week was full of cost and vendor strategy. Bharat asked a very real question about GCP billing, especially around Comput…
