Unless training on the pelican increases all SVG ability, then good job.
Is it possible they use the same base pre-trained model and just fine-tuned and RL-ed it better (which, of course, is where all the secret sauce training magic is these days anyhow)? That would be odd, especially for a major version bump, but it's sort of what having the same training cutoff points to?

I'm curious why they decided not to update the training data cutoff date too.

There seem to be one or two parsing errors. I'll fix those later.
I tried the first one and 5 Pro gives this: https://imgur.com/a/EhYroCE

As your example shows, GPT-5 Pro would probably be better that GPT-5.1, but the tokens are over ten times more expensive and I didn’t feel like paying for them.
Extending beyond the pelican is very interesting, especially until your page gets enough recognition to be "optimized" by the AI companies.
It seems both Gemini 3 and latest ChatGPTs get a deep understanding of the representation of SVGs that seems a difficult task. I would be incapable of writing a SVG without visualizing the result and a graphical feedback loop.
PS: Would be fun to add "animated" in the short prompt since some models think of animation by themselves. Tried manually with 5 Pro (using the subscription), and in a sense it's worse than the static image. To start, there's a error: https://bafybeie7gazq46mbztab2etpln7sqe5is6et2ojheuorjpvrr2u...
