Replaces the static hero screenshot in README.md and the es/ja/ko/zh translations with a ~44s demo GIF (1200px, recorded at 2x, 4.4 MB) of the seeded nanochat demo project:

  • a literature-review chat that searches alphaXiv and recommends the next experiment
  • the baseline run's Trackio charts in the side panel
  • inline result charts and figures
  • a run request sent to a live Claude Code agent, which launches the learning-rate probe; the video follows it into the run's logs

Recorded with a scripted Playwright run against an isolated dev slot; the ~100s agent wait before the launch is time-compressed, and a local path in the run's final log line is masked. The demo run's recorded metrics were logged to a slot-local Trackio store under its orx run id. The window sits on the macOS Sonoma Horizon wallpaper, like the old screenshot's desktop backdrop. openresearch-screenshot.png is now unreferenced but left in place.

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo build --locked, cargo test --locked
  • GIF path resolves in all 5 READMEs; markup identical across them
  • GIF renders and loops on the GitHub README page (light and dark mode)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Show the seeded nanochat demo in motion: an alphaXiv-grounded diagnosis,
the run's Trackio charts, result figures, and a queued next experiment.

Record at 2x and export the GIF at 1200px, set the window on the macOS
Sonoma Horizon wallpaper, and keep a single cursor over the Trackio iframe.

The demo now sends a run request and follows the agent-launched
learning-rate probe into its logs; the agent's wait is time-compressed
and a local path in the run output is masked.
