Every pelican riding a bicycle a language model has ever drawn, kept in one enclosure.
the prompt, every time: “Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.”
The benchmark is Simon Willison's. We just built the enclosure. Every specimen links back to his original post.
Same prompt, 51 different models. Can you tell them apart?

Pelecanus velocipedus
It's a really good bicycle - all the right bits, spokes on the wheels, wheels and pedals rotating - and a very good pelican, red scarf, good beak, bobbing up and down. The feet don't stay on the pedals though. — keeper's logsource ↗

This is so great. It's dark, the possum is clearly a possum, it's riding an escooter, lovely animation, tail bobbing up and down, caption says NORTH VIRGINIA OPOSSUM, CRUISING THE COMMONWEALTH SINCE DUSK - only glitch is that it occasionally blinks and the eyes fall off the face — keeper's logsource ↗

Black background, bats in the sky against a stylized moon. Pelican is funky looking. Very good beak. Bicycle frame is a bit twisted, and the bar from pedals to back wheel is missing. Bike lamp illuminates the road in front. Quite stylish. — keeper's logsource ↗

Excellent bicycle - good frame shape, nice chain, even has a reflector on the front wheel. Pelican has a mean looking expression but has its wings on the handlebars and feet on the pedals. Pouch is a little sharp. — keeper's logsource ↗
Pelecanus velocipedus
It is a bit mangled to be honest - good beak, pelican body shapes are slightly weird, legs do at least extend to the pedals, bicycle frame is not quite right. — keeper's logsource ↗

The bicycle frame is entirely the wrong shape. No clouds, a yellow sun. The pelican is looking behind itself, and has a less pronounced pouch than I would like. — keeper's logsource ↗

Described by GPT-5.2: Cartoon-style illustration: A white, duck-like bird with a small black eye, oversized orange beak (with a pale blue highlight along the lower edge), and a pink neckerchief rides a blue-framed bicycle in side view; the bike has two large black wheels with gray spokes, a blue front fork, visible black crank/pedal area, and thin black handlebar lines, with gray motion streaks and a soft gray shadow under the bike on a light-gray road; background is a pale blue sky with a simple yellow sun at upper left and two rounded white clouds (one near upper center-left and one near upper right). — keeper's logsource ↗

Digital illustration on a light gray/white background with a thin horizontal baseline: a stylized California brown pelican in breeding plumage is drawn side-on, leaning forward and pedaling a bicycle; the pelican has a dark brown body with layered wing lines, a pale cream head with a darker brown cap and neck shading, a small black eye, and an oversized long golden-yellow bill extending far past the front wheel; one brown leg reaches down to a pedal while the other is tucked back; the bike is shown in profile with two large spoked wheels (black tires, white rims), a dark frame, crank and chainring near the rear wheel, a black saddle above the rear, and the front fork aligned under the pelican’s head; text at the top reads "California brown pelican (breeding plumage) pedaling a bicycle". — keeper's logsource ↗

Scripts, event handlers and remote references are stripped before anything renders or gets submitted. Model names are taken on trust, so fed pelicans stay out of the guessing game.
