Six effort levels (minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max), so here are six pelicans (actually five, "high" didn't return a complete SVG):

https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

There's usually a reasonably strong correlation between thinking level and visual quality of the pelican. This is the first time I've seen that correlation appear to break - more reasoning tokens doesn't seem to produce an obviously better SVG.

meric_•20m ago
Wow, minimal seems to be the best here interestingly. Only 10 reasoning tokens so basically none?
sjacob•19m ago
Incredible. How do you get these out so fast?
permalac•19m ago
Is there a problem if I like the minimal more than the others?
MadameMinty•1m ago
I like medium best, but minimal is not bad at all.
imimayj1337•19m ago
It does pretty insane to me that only on max setting (and after waiting 27 seconds) did you actually manage to receive an SVG where the pelican's legs are straddling the bike correctly.
swatcoder•3m ago
They're not. It's an illusion from the composition.

If you look at the code for each of these (and probably most across models), you can see that the drawing elements are organized by concept. Presumably, this helps accuracy by keeping attention on one concept at a time, but you end up with a stack of conceptualized objects and lose the ability to interleave things.

No doubt these could all do better with a more thorough and specific prompt that coached them away from that technique, but otherwise it's a very subtle detail that a "thinking" process needs to stumble upon independently.

eterm•7m ago
Did minimal just hand it off to something else? It seems completely out of line with the rest.

Luna 6 is getting a bit long in the teeth now. It's two full months old, but it was only a slight step above Luna 5.6, which is already four months old (Imagine saying this about anything else). So I'm not too surprised that a newer small model is beating it handily. I've been hoping for Luna 6.1/2 as the next model release for a few days now.
esafak•13m ago
Uniquely among models I've tried, Luna 6 is infuriatingly lazy. As if it expects me to do the work, unaware that it is a tool. Normally dumb models compensate for it by trying harder. This one goes in the opposite direction.
agentdev001•4m ago
Give Terra 6.1 Low a spin in places where you'd have previously used Luna Max. Costs seem similar, due to Terra being much smarter: thus requiring far fewer tokens per task.

Looking solely at AA's intelligence index, recognizing the pitfalls with using that as a measure- Luna 6 Max > Terra 6.1 Low is 51.3% cheaper, 94.1% less output tokens, for 1.56 higher index score.

caaqil•18m ago
I'm always a bit surprised to see Meta talking about models. They have become (almost*) entirely irrelevant to the LLM race, which is weird because their AI lab used to be decent before LLM was cool.

What happened to zuck? Was the metaverse this destructive?

(*) Feeling charitable today

They have started to catch up; the Spark series is good.
achandra03•13m ago
Isn't Muse Wonder at or at least very close to the frontier? Considering they essentially started from scratch after rebooting their AI efforts post-Llama 4 about a year ago it's pretty solid progress.
StarlessHours•13m ago
Meta is trying to stay relevant. They fell behind after llama 4, hired new talent and re-organized.
dom96•13m ago
Super frustrating that I still can’t give Muse Wonder Full a spin.
gopalv•13m ago
Model refusals should be a -ve score, not zero?

Treating the refusal as a 0 score erases the difference between lack of capability and a lack of willingness to perform.
