I posted this in the other Astra thread but it's just fallen off the homepage, so... Pelicans from Astra, plus 5.6 Sol, Terra, Luna for comparison: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/gpt-6-and-5.6-p... I think this is a genuinely interesting comparison grid. Astra may be more expensive, but if you have a budget of 10 cents for a Pelican Astra low gives you something SO much better than the other models. Ast…

I find curios that Astra's pelicans are basically the same (yellow sun top right corner, green bike, same bike shape, same legs style, very similar background) while in other there is more randomness.

Do you have other ideas of "combinations" for this kind of benchmark? I'm wondering if this is being trained on by the models today.

I have a feeling they've been doing that for a while now, even if unintentional, as it's such a well known benchmark

This tracks with what OpenAI has been saying about Astra: that it tends to do things in a certain way and it’s up to you to prompt it to change its style.

What is the actual utility of using this model on Azure? It's twice as expensive, according to the link. Do Azure offer something that simply hitting the OpenAI endpoint doesn't provide?

It's the same price as regular processing. You get guarantees microsoft give you, which are ones OpenAI won't (or require dedicated spend,) and you can use azure identities for access.

Oh my goodness. I was not prepared for Luna on "none". Reminded me of https://clocks.brianmoore.com/

Simon do you have a page somewhere that shows _all_ of the penguins created by various models across time?

You’ve been doing this public service for so long (well, for so long in “AI hype” years anyway) that it’d be fascinating to see the evolution of this artifact across time.

Astra is the only model that correctly depicts occlusion of crank and leg, although interestingly, at max and medium levels (not in between).
