Latest update (11-10 15:55): Simon Willison says Gemini 4 Carbon handles pelican SVGs well

Overview: Simon Willison says Gemini 4 Carbon is good at generating SVG drawings of pelicans, though he notes Gemini has done this before. He also tested the model with a prompt asking for a Three.js animation of a mech stomping through Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, built from OpenStreetMap data. The report gives no result for that animation test.
