It sounds like they focussed performance on not drawing svgs. Which honestly, makes a lot of sense to me.

Drawing SVGs isn't something I really care about either, and I think it's still to "qualitatively compare" e.g. "Opus's pelican vs GPT's pelican vs GLM's pelican" or whatever the kids are doing.

But what stands out to me is that it's barely able to draw a "recognizable" pelican at all. The Devstral 2 model even looks slightly better, though maybe I'm splitting hairs: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/9/
