Pelicans aren't bad, a little quirky: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...
Those were via OpenRouter - here's another set I made by calling the Inception API directly: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...
I didn’t wonder why the bench marks were done in medium. The medium pelican is better than the high.
Maybe reasoning negatively effects the output after medium.
How fast did they generate? That's the specific sell with this model
EDIT: I see, "3337ms"
How does that compare to your other artistic works?
Those are some far better .svgs than I got last Mercury 2.5. I tried with 3d modeling and got some cool results incredibly fast! Unfortunately no real improvement under iteration (wasn't expecting that much, it's so fricking fast).
But seeing 10 mercury instances iterating all at once (as a personal demo) on a single concept felt unreal.
