The dedicated text-to-image models all produce good illustrations of pelicans riding bicycles. Here's one I got from OpenAI's gpt-image-2 just the other day: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/14/pedalican/

Have you tried asking for an SVG with the same level of detail you specified in that prompt, though? https://github.com/simonw/pedalican/blob/main/run/prompts/ro...

I'd be interested to see what comes out, but it also highlights an curious prompt-control-comparison question

Try prompts that convert the gif to svg? Maybe the models should do that internally… start with their image model first and then make an svg.
