Before that, you might ask ChatGPT to create a vector image of a pelican riding a bicycle and then running the output through a PNG to SVG converter...

These are tough benchmarks to trial reasoning by having it _write_ an SVG file by hand and understanding how it's to be written to achieve this. Even a professional would struggle with that! It's _not_ a benchmark to give an AI the best tools to actually do this.




I think you made an error there png is a bitmap format


You've misunderstood. The parent was making a specific point — if you want an SVG of a penguin, the easiest way to AI-generate it is to get an image generator to create a (vector-styled) bitmap, then auto-vectorize it to SVG. But the point of this benchmark is that it's asking models to create an SVG the hard way, by writing its code directly.
