https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... - default reasoning level.

Here's reasoning level high: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

For some reason reasoning effort low and medium used similar numbers of tokens, and xhigh used less than high. I think I need to try without OpenRouter in the middle.

UPDATE: I tried again with the xAI API directly: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... - not a great deal of difference between reasoning levels, and this time xhigh and low used the same number of reasoning tokens for some reason.

For comparison here's a fresh run against Grok 4.6: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

I think these are the worst I've seen, at least in some time. It's a silly benchmark though, not sure what to make of it

Here are some somehow standardized pelican tests but for 3d scenes in threejs at threejseval.com

Grok 4.7 generations: https://threejseval.com/models/grok-4.7-high

Also go vote on https://threejseval.com so you can help evaluate how Grok and other model performs compared to each other!

I tried in Cursor and see a lot of improvements over Grok 4.6 svgs. The AA numbers indicate it's not very token efficient though: https://artificialanalysis.ai/agents/coding-agents?agents=co...

Poor fella doesn’t have a seat. Intriguing design where both pedals are on the same side of the frame. Balancing must be a challenge.

Are there good tools for doing context audits? I feel I have no good way to visualize what a new session is getting by default in a given repo without crawling through every potentially included markdown file

What is the default reasoning level?

Hahaha. I remember when musk and his merry band of sycophants were bragging about grok producing the only physically accurate bicycle. What happened?
