I didn't want to shell out for Max again, so I piped the SVG created by Max back into Fable 5.1 at its default thinking level (of high):

  llm logs -cx | llm -m claude-fable-5.1 -s 'animate this'

Here's the result, which cost $1.37: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

It's excellent!

First time this benchmark impressed me - 10/10 I would believe a human spent hours making this. There are details a human would have done better (beak attaching to the head) but still impressive.

Well, the wheels are rotating the wrong way, but other than that!

(Maybe it's a strobing artifact?)

Are they? Looked correct to me. At high enough speeds even real ones can look rotating either way in videos depending on fps.

I looked closely. They are going the wrong way. Still the best one I've seen by a lot.

Probably some temporal aliasing on your device. The SVG elements are 100% rotating clockwise.

		Still a flaw--the SVG should account for how different client devices will render it! Existential doom averted, for now.

		Looks fine on safari iPadOS 26.6.1 wheels rotating forwards. I’m a skeptic but man, this actually has me revising my opinion a bit.

He looks very happy riding along the beach. I love the basket fish animation as well. Impressive!

Now that it's a solved benchmark, can we get the 3d animated version?

▲ swingboy 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

No feet lol (also it's not animated for me)

For me:

Firefox: No feet, no animation

Chrome: Feet included, animated very nicely (uses significant CPU)

What browser are you using that doesn't have feet (or animations)? Seems to all be there in Chrome.

		Firefox

Same happened to me (the feet are on the top left corner, brw). But the generated MP4 works.

For me it worked on Chrome but not on Firefox

I see both feet and animation.
