A demonstration shows GPT-2 Image producing complete Lego set designs, including exact Bricklink part IDs. You can use the output to order all the pieces and build the set. This approach hints at a new business model for AI-designed Lego kits.
- GPT-2 Image can generate complete Lego set designs including exact Bricklink part IDs, letting users order all pieces and build the set
- The tool renders 3D previews and step-by-step assembly visuals so buyers can check stability and looks before purchasing
- Official Bricklink IDs let prices, availability, and seller ratings be pulled automatically
- This could enable new business models like selling AI-designed build instructions, bundling parts with instructions, or subscription boxes for monthly micro-builds
ASML’s extreme-ultraviolet lithography machines cost around $400 million each and are essential for printing advanced semiconductor chips. Rick Lenssen led a project to recreate the intricate EUV tool as a detailed LEGO set, creating one of the world’s most sought-after toys.
- Rick Lenssen's team spent two years turning ASML's $400 million EUV lithography machine into a 2,636-piece, 35 cm Lego set with rotating mirrors and a detachable control panel.
- Lego capped the public release at 46,061 kits, which sold out in minutes at €239 and now resell for over €1,500—the only time Lego has ever limited a set's production this way.
- The toy's popularity underscores how rare and complex the real machines are: only ASML makes them, each needing thousands of specialized parts from dozens of suppliers to produce the chips in phones, cars, and data centers.
