simonw hasn't shown up yet, so here's my "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle"

https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/67c13d9a-3d63-4598-88d0-5...



We finally have AI safety solved! Look at that helmet


"Look ma, no wings!"

:D


For comparisonI think the current leader in pelican drawing is Gemini 3 Deep Think:

My take (also Gemini 3 Deep Think): https://gemini.google.com/share/12e672dd39b7

Somehow it's much better now.


I’m not familiar with Gemini, isn’t this just a diffusion model output? The Pelican test is for the llm to produce SVG markup.


Yeah, I was so amazed by the result I didn't even realize Gemini used Nano Banana while producing the result.


The point of the penny-farthing is that you drive the front wheel directly with the pedals, but this seems to have the pedals in a spot where they would drive a chain, although there is no chain?


Is that actually better? That pelican has arms sprouting out of its wings


if they want to prove the model's performance the bike clearly needs aero bars


Can’t beat Gemini’s which was basically perfect.
