Isn't it awful ? After 5.5 versions it still can't draw a basic bike frame. How is the front wheel supposed to turn sideways ?

I feel like if I attempted this, the bike frame would look fine and everything else would be completely unrecognizable. After all, a basic bike frame is just straight lines arranged in a fairly simple shape. It's really surprising that models find it so difficult, but they can make a pelican with panache.

Yeah, the bike frame is the thing I always look at first - it's still reasonably rare for a model to draw that correctly, although Qwen 3.6 and Gemini Pro 3.1 do that well now.

The distinction is that it's not drawing. It's generating an SVG document containing descriptors of the shapes.
