Functional Logo Maker from a Single Prompt: LLM Potential and Limitations
2025-04-25

The author generated a fully functional logo maker, including export options, from a single prompt in Aider. Code snippets demonstrate the LLM's ability to generate font links, dependencies, and inline CSS styles, even including the latest SHA hash of a linked CDN library. However, expanding the code using Sonnet 3.7 significantly increased project complexity, resulting in uncompilable code. The author explores the differences in code generation and expansion capabilities between different LLMs (like Claude and GPT-4o), and the impact of context window size, output limits, and other factors on LLM applications. The limitations of context windows and output sizes in LLMs are highlighted as key challenges.
