Description
Inspired by Simon Willison’s pelican-riding-a-bicycle benchmark, I used Claude, Claude Code, and OpenRouter to get SVGs from six models for thirty similar prompts. Example: “Generate an SVG of a venus flytrap swallowing a street lamp.”I don’t know what to make of the results, but I had fun with the project.
