How many times do you run the generation and how do you chose which example to ultimately post and share with the public?

Once. It's a dice roll for the models.

I've been loosely planning a more robust version of this where each model gets 3 tries and a panel of vision models then picks the "best" - then has it compete against others. I built a rough version of that last June: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/6/six-months-in-llms/#ai-...
