- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Figma and general models both generate code from designs now. Anthropic, March 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.

- Is there a free way to do it? yes

Anima was the design-to-code incumbent for years. Its problem is that the conversion step got absorbed twice over — by Figma itself and by any model that can read an image — leaving it to compete on code quality in a market where good enough is usually enough.
