  llm -m meta-ai/muse-spark-1.3 "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle"
https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

4.2266 cents, 38 seconds.

For comparison here's Muse Spark 1.2, which animated it without me asking it to: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

The 1.3 one is definitely better - better bicycle frame, better wing, better pelican hat.

UPDATE: Here's another one with five pelicans for each of the five Muse Spark 1.3 reasoning levels: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

The most expensive was reasoning level xhigh - 7.5 cents, 1m34s.

And I ran five pelicans at all reasoning levels for 1.2 as well, here: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

lol

Definitely an upgrade over 1.2

Is there a reason these pelicans always have roughly the same composition (side-view, 2d, biking right, flat ground beneath, etc)? I don't see any of that detailed in the prompt, yet they all seem to generate roughly the same image of differing quality.

Used Muse Spark 1.2 and was not impressed at all. Fast and cheap but even GPT 5.6 Terra felt much more capable. Also not really looking to support a company that was just forced to pay $18B for mental health damages.

It's really interesting, isn't it? They almost always cycle from left to right - but I have had a few which cycle in the other direction.

The 2D / flat ground feels reasonable for a SVG, which implies a vector illustration.

The more generic your prompt, the more generic the response. It's a regression to the "mean" of the training data aka GIGO for AI.

It's like when you ask your average person off the street to draw a house - it'll almost always be square with a triangle roof, one door, and two windows.

In the pelican/bike example, it's probably a bit of a self-perpetuating snowball too. If the earliest examples were bike left-to-right, flat ground, etc. then they are also being scraped up in future LLMs.
