I plan to update it with more pelicans from all the models released since.
(Spoiler alert: They haven't improved much since then).
- xhrpost 1mo agoWow, I actually had this exact idea. I was specifically curious as to how well a given LLM could understand a DSL that hasn't changed much in a couple decades and doesn't have nearly as many examples to learn from online. Seems like it did alright, all things considered.
- necovek 1mo agoI've done a similar thing with asking a few LLMs to do it using PostScript: in my view, a couple generations behind compared to doing it in SVG. https://danilo.segan.org/blog/llm/postscript-pelicans-on-bicycles https://danilo.segan.org/blog/llm/postscript-pelicans-on-bic...
- murkt 1mo agoOhh, horizontal wheels. They’re about as good as I expected, models have pretty bad spatial awareness. I would expect Fable to be a bit better than old models, though.
- fc417fc802 1mo agoI wonder how a multi-modal model would do with a harness and tool calling? Specifically a "render" command that produced an image output enabling it to iterate. (Well I see you did this manually with gemini 2.5 pro but I still think it would be interesting to explore various harness setups.) > GPT-5.1 Codex > monstrosity What are you talking about? That's clearly a sci-fi pelican on a hoverboard (successor of the humble bicycle) wearing a visor. Truly visionary.
