Demokritos: Interactive, Community-Centred, Self-Improving Shader Generation using Large Language Models

Summary

Demokritos is a browser-based research prototype that generates shader programs, which run on the graphics processor to produce visual effects, from written descriptions. Users render and evaluate the results, contributing successful descriptions and programs to a shared collection. The project investigates how this collective evaluation can improve specialised code generation while keeping the generated work available for inspection.
