> The benchmark is saturated. Frontier models are tested with an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars.

OK well I couldn't resist this one:

  llm -m claude-opus-5.5 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars'
  llm -m gpt-6.1-sol 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars'
  llm -m gemini-3.8-flash 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars'
  llm -m mistral/mistral-large-4 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars'

Not so sure, apparently it is the only one that considered that there are no paved roads on Mars.

To be fair, they don't have Armadillos in Europe. of course, you could say the same for Mars...

I'm getting 403 inside the tool for this one. (The pelican bike on top works) This has been happening a lot recently.

Not sure I'd call it jaywalking exactly but pretty good
