Pelican-bicycle alternatives
Thirty SVG drawing prompts to test language models
Pelican-bicycle alternatives is a showcase featuring thirty SVG drawing prompts modeled after Simon Willison’s pelican-riding-a-bicycle test, administered to various language models across 2025 and 2026 runs. The site displays the raw image outputs generated directly by multiple AI models alongside performance metrics like generation time and cost. It was created by Claude Fable 5.1, paid for by Tom Gally, and features AI-written text.
Use Cases
- AI researchers evaluating language model capabilities
- Developers comparing SVG generation costs across models
- Tech enthusiasts reviewing historical AI test runs
- Observers analyzing visual output differences between 2025 and 2026 models
