Pelicans (thinking effort high, medium, low): https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... - high cost 8.9742 cents
Here are the 3.7 pelicans for comparison: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer.html?u... - high cost 8.4387 cents
(I think thinking level low is a regression on 3.8 compared to 3.7.)
Why are the SVGs getting more detailed rather than just more correct than previous models?
The rendering of the gullet is very poor, because its both behind the handlebars but in front of the bike frame (impossible geometry). Surprising because gemini is usually pretty good on geo spatial skills.
Edit: scrolled down to medium effort, its better but also has a weird clipping issue with the fish in the beak.

Impressive pelicans!
The fenders are a nice touch, but putting the fenders through the tires seems like a design flaw.
I mean no offense but these pelicans are a bit tiresome and a very meaningless benchmark. There's no real difference between any of these svgs across models and model versions anymore.
This is in comparison to Fable:

So 50x cheaper - and how much faster?
