For those claiming they rigged it. Do you have any concrete evidence? What if the models have just gotten really good? I just asked Gemini pro to generate an SVG of an octopus dunking a basketball and it did a great job. Not even Deep Think model. Then I did "generate an svg of raccoon at a beach drinking a beer" you can go try this out yourself. Ask it to generate anything you want in SVG. use your imagination. Rant…

and it will be folks using AI taking over for at least a while...

Some people try, most people don't.

AI makes doing almost anything easier for the people that do..

Despite the prophesied near-term obliteration of white collar work, I've never felt luckier to work in software.

The intensity of competition between models is so intense right now they are definitely benchmaxxing pelican on bike SVGs and Will Smith spaghetti dinner videos.

You can just try other svgs, I got some pretty good ones.

(*Disclaimer: I work for Google, but also I have zero idea about what they trained deepthink on)

There was Lenna for digital image compression ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna ). A pelican on a bike is SFW, inclusive, yet cool. It is not a full benchmark - rather a litmus test.

I never realized Lenna was a Playboy centerfold until years after I first encountered it, which was part of an MP in the data structures class all CS undergrads take at UIUC.

There’s also the foreman for video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=0cdM-7_xUXM

Simon notes this benchmark is win-win, since he loves pictures of pelicans riding bicycles — if they spend time benchmaxxing it’s like free pelicans for him. He originally promised to generate a bunch more animals when we got a “good” pelican. This is not a good pelican. This is an OUTSTANDING pelican, a great bicycle, and it even has a little sun ray over the ocean marked out. I’d like to see more animals please Sim…

> a great bicycle

It's not. Sorry.

Go look at some real bicycles for reference.

It is visually outstanding. The only thing that sticks out to me is that the steering column bends out forwards towards the ground (negative trail), which would make it oversteer rather than self-stabilize. Interestingly there's a slight positive trail bend in the second one, though.

Agreed, good is quite an understatement. Every item is drawn superbly, and the basket with the fish is just great. Feels like a big jump over the other models (though granted, this is such a known "benchmark" by now, it's likely gamed to some extent).

What part is missing? It appears to have all the core parts of a bicycle to me?
