    Pelicans. Sonnet 5.5 has the same problem as Opus 5.5: on "max" thinking effort it burned through 128,000 thinking tokens (taking 15 minutes to do that) and ran out before it had produced the final SVG.

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.simonwillison.net&#x2F;markdown-svg-renderer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fsimonw%2F1d85a9be7f3ecce26e7f1569161a0d01" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.simonwillison.net&#x2F;markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

    Here&#x27;s how the thinking effort levels compare:

      low
  27 input, 1,623 output, thinking_tokens: 0

      Does anyone really still care about these pelicans?

      Any model release it’s the top comment, I do not understand why.

        I can&#x27;t understand it. Clearly someone cares because like you say the comments are always upvoted. But why anyone cares I simply don&#x27;t know. It just feels like attention seeking behaviour to continue posting it.

          Isn&#x27;t posting any comment on a forum like Hacker News &quot;attention seeking behavior&quot;?

            Did you ignore the continue part that compounds the attention seeking?

              Linking to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.simonwillison.net&#x2F;markdown-svg-renderer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fsimonw%2F1d85a9be7f3ecce26e7f1569161a0d01" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.simonwillison.net&#x2F;markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... should be pretty inoffensive (I started habitually linking to that after people kept complaining about linking to my blog) - that page renders Markdown with SVG embedded in it, but doesn&#x27;t link to the rest of my site at all.
