I still do not understand how models can generate absolutely stunning SVG-like bitmaps of a pelican on a bicycle, but fail to do so when asked to directly create an SVG.

The image linked below was generated as a bitmap by Gemini and then manually converted to an SVG. Why can models not even remotely output something like that as SVG?

Try looking at the SVG code for one of those converted from bitmaps, and I think you'll understand why even a massive LLM has trouble generating it on the fly (the pelican SVGs are always one-shot single API calls, so no iterations and verifications).
