    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:

      Does anyone really still care about these pelicans?

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

        It would have taken me a while to stumble upon this &quot;running out of tokens&quot; on MAX thinking issue without his trials and post. I&#x27;ve seen the pelicans for years now, and if they stopped coming for some reason, I would probably go to his site to catch up on recent models and findings. So I don&#x27;t mind them
