Painted by seedream-v5-pro on api.venice.ai, 2026-09-14 00:51Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A bustling street market scene with people of diverse ages and occupations, set against a warm golden light, with baskets of food and fresh produce on display, as a woman in the center examines a basket of eggs and a man nearby holds a tablet with a subtle glow, amidst a backdrop of blurred city buildings and trees.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A bustling street market scene with people of diverse ages and occupations, set against a warm golden light, with baskets of food and fresh produce on display, as a woman in the center examines a basket of eggs and a man nearby holds a tablet with a subtle glow, amidst a backdrop of blurred city buildings and trees. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

An Air and Space Forces magazine analysis released in May 2026 reported that Boeing expects the average cost of an F-47 to be around $300 million per aircraft.

The report states the figure is an average, though it does not specify if this includes research, development, or only production line costs.

No other facts in the record provide context on how this estimate compares to previous fighter generations or how the Pentagon plans to use the number in its budgeting.
