muse-spark-1.3-contributor. Say what you want and Meta, changing the pricing to explicitly say 'we train on this and value it this much' is what every model provider should do. As a side note, it is now completely obvious how much stealing my tokens for training is worth to model providers. I avoid/pay extra/try my best to make sure I am not getting trained on but it seems like it keeps popping up that I missed a set…

We already had a good idea of how valuable it is from how much X.ai acquired Cursor for, and the near-immediate improvements to their coding scores.

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 an…

The pelican is for the last gen of LLMs -- have you tried a penguin instead?

They could have just called the article "struggling to remain relevant"

So was AMD for a while and then consumers kept getting the same repackaged CPU from Intel for years. Competition is great and you should always root for the underdog.

If you could actually hand write SVG code on the spot that looked like a realistic pelican riding a bike I would want to hire you for SOMETHING.

I often do hand write SVG icons. I know roughly what I want, it's less messy compared to using an editor (cleaner, smaller xml, easier to hand-edit later if needed). Path arc is my nemesis, otherwise it's not that hard. Pelican would take some time, but same as software development, you split it into smaller chunks and do one at the time.

Main problem in complex icon is remembering which (x, y) point is used in which element, with background grid is helpful here. I was even thinking about making extended SVG language with variables for (x, y) points.

Thats not exactly 'validated'. Feels very noisy, it is not a good bar for either - does this code do what the user actually asked - is this code actually 'good' There would be so many examples of coding projects that these models began or attempted to work in, that were abandoned because the models were floundering. I would imagine the labs have some decent ways to produce novel requirements and then actually validat…

This is exactly what RLVR is, and the reason that models have improved so much at verifiable domains like coding and math while not so much on unverifiable ones like writing and UI design.

Buddy, admitting your thought processes forcibly terminate on pre-programmed keywords isn't a flex.

Why "terminate", Marxist philosophy is a legitimate topic, deserving to be studied. Like a rich sci-fi lore or a history of Tarot magic. Deep, fascinating, and wrong.

And yet you terminated. Which would be the correct thing to do if Marxist philosophy would be wrong on all counts, as you explicitly state. Which of course, it isn't.

I see no point having these pelicans used for anything related model qualification.

At this point the only thing they're useful for is visualizing the differences between effort levels and roughly tracking the progression of models within a specific model family. And they still do that really well!

I don't see how useful this benchmark at all is for tracking the progression of models. I am not intending to bash on you personally but this is useless. People who are using AI models everyday are for sure not interested how close the AI model can visualize the pelican but they are interested in how they will perform on their daily tasks at work or private use. Correlation between doing good on pelican task and doing good on actual work you need to do is close to zero.

Here is a photo of Pelican: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...

That's the ankle. The actual knee is hidden in the feathers of the body.

I wonder if any commenters here were among those who used to ridicule the rate at which new JS frameworks kept popping up in the 2010s, and the amount of heroic zeal required to never miss the bandwagon?
