Did Medium not get a response, or is this a display issue?
Interesting that High got the render order correct, with the back leg behind the bike, while xhigh and max have both legs on the same side of the bicycle. Astra only got this right on Max.
I always notice this too. Getting it right seems (psychologically for me anyway) to be a big part of "a good pelican" whenever I look at these. But doesn't always seem to correlate with increasing intelligence of models (measured via benchmarks, experience with the model etc.).
It's not frontier pelican without the back leg behind the bike frame IMO.
yeah. Even though high got the leg correct, the pedal the rear leg is on is in front , giving the impression it's somehow reaching under the chain and frame with it's leg. Not great
Opus still plays the best. Sol is almost as good and way cheaper. Astra costs the most, scores the least of the three, and the UI is full of slop copy and design.
Here they are for GPT-6.1-Sol: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...
They're not notably different from the GPT-6 family pelicans: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/gpt-pelicans-gr...
