An Agent Built a 3D Paris Gallery by Chaining Two Hugging Face Spaces

The article shows that the hard part of using modern AI models — image generation, 3D reconstruction — was never the model itself, but the integration work: SDKs, GPU setup, input formatting, polling.

The author demonstrates this by having a coding agent build a full 3D Paris gallery from two Hugging Face Spaces, chaining an image generator and a single-image-to-splat model, without ever manually running either tool.

The real tension is that while open-weight models are abundant, using them in a pipeline has remained a tedious engineering project — until now.
