To be fair I have a feeling that if you added 'animated' to the SVG request, the output quality from many other models would improve, just because of the extra chain-of-thought work needed to fulfill the more complex request. IMHO the animation requirement should be added to the canonical pelican prompt.
definitely not frontier though, as even on max both legs are in front of the frame; although I am wondering how much getting that right correlates with model intelligence.
The biggest (of many) failing of the pelican test is that it's only one prompt - what matters most these days is how well a model can drive a lengthy agentic tool calling session.
