The touted SVG improvements make me excited for animated pelicans.

I just gave it a shot and this is what I got: https://codepen.io/takoid/pen/wBWLOKj

The model thought for over 5 minutes to produce this. It's not quite photorealistic (some parts are definitely "off"), but this is definitely a significant leap in complexity.

Good to see it wearing a helmet. Their safety team must be on their game.

Yes but why would a pelican need a helmet? If it falls over it can just fly away... Common sense 1 Gemini 0

Here's what I got from Gemini Pro on gemini.google.com, it thought for under a minute...might you have been using AI studio? https://jsbin.com/zopekaquga/edit?html,output

It does say 3.1 in the Pro dropdown box in the message sending component.

That's a good pelican. What I like the most is that the SVG is nice and readable. If only Inkscape could output nice SVG like this!

The blog post includes a video showcasing the improvements. Looks really impressive: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/ge...

I imagine they're also benchgooning on SVG generation

My perennial joke is as soon as that got on HN front page Google went and hired some interns and they spend a 100% of the time on pelicans.

SVG is an under-rated use case for LLMs because it gives you the scalability of vector graphics along with CSS-style interactivity (hover effects, animations, transitions, etc.).

How about STL files for 3d printing pelicans!
