Agentic Pelican on a Bicycle: Gemini 3 Pro

Looks like we have clear winner when it comes to agentically iterating on Pelican on a Bicycle (Simon’s OG benchmark).

Let Gemini 3 speak for itself:

For each iteration, I converted the SVG to a JPG using the chrome CLI and inspected the result using take_screenshot to simulate "vision" capabilities.

The files are stored in agentic-pelican-on-a-bicycle/gemini-3-pro/:

pelican_v1.svg / .jpg: Initial abstract draft.
pelican_v2.svg / .jpg: Improved bicycle frame and pelican shape.
pelican_v3.svg / .jpg: Better details, background added.
pelican_v4.svg / .jpg: Refined gradients and shapes.
pelican_v5.svg / .jpg: Improved neck connection and wing reaching.
pelican_v6.svg / .jpg: Added motion lines (but some were incorrect).
pelican_v7.svg / .jpg: Attempted to add helmet (missed in code).
pelican_v8.svg / .jpg: Added helmet, but had incorrect motion lines.
pelican_v9.svg / .jpg: Refined helmet, still had motion line issue.
pelican_v10.svg / .jpg: Final version with correct motion lines, helmet, and polished details.

The final result pelican_v10.svg features a happy pelican with a safety helmet, riding a bike with spinning wheel effects, set against a sunny sky with moving clouds.
