[Bloub](https://bloub.vercel.app/) remakes the x.ai bot avatar as a single filled SVG shape that morphs through 14 states, measured frame by frame off the reference video. Eyes are separate shapes. There is no animation library. The [source is on GitHub](https://github.com/jeremy-prt/bloub).

That kind of constraint is the interesting part. An agent face you can export as SVG, PNG, GIF, or MP4, with the motion coming from measured profiles rather than a model guessing the next frame.
