GPT-6 Astra and The Scream

I'm really fond of creative ways of visualizing how much progress AI models have made since ChatGPT first launched. My variant of the SVG benchmark is to ask a model to generate a famous painting. Below is the result for "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. It captures both the progress and the way many people felt after reading about the OpenAI/HuggingFace attacks.

As noted by Simon Willison, the creator of the original Pelican SVG benchmark, recent models like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 have gotten really good at generating these.

More paintings and results from different models can be found on Pelican Gallery, a website where I collect AI-generated SVG renditions of famous artworks.
