The touted SVG improvements make me excited for animated pelicans.

I just gave it a shot and this is what I got: https://codepen.io/takoid/pen/wBWLOKj

The model thought for over 5 minutes to produce this. It's not quite photorealistic (some parts are definitely "off"), but this is definitely a significant leap in complexity.

		That's a good pelican. What I like the most is that the SVG is nice and readable. If only Inkscape could output nice SVG like this!

		Here's what I got from Gemini Pro on gemini.google.com, it thought for under a minute...might you have been using AI studio? https://jsbin.com/zopekaquga/edit?html,output It does say 3.1 in the Pro dropdown box in the message sending component.

My perennial joke is as soon as that got on HN front page Google went and hired some interns and they spend a 100% of the time on pelicans.

SVG is an under-rated use case for LLMs because it gives you the scalability of vector graphics along with CSS-style interactivity (hover effects, animations, transitions, etc.).

How about STL files for 3d printing pelicans!
