... other comments were right, this is the full qwen3.8-max model, two weeks ago was the qwen3.8-max-preview release.
Here's a pelican I just got out of the new model. It took 11 minutes and forgot the wheels! https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=ht... (scroll to bottom)
The reasoning trace is pretty great:
> More additions: basket with fish in it? Cute detail — a fish poking out of a basket on the handlebars! This adds charm and pelican context.
If the price is $2/$6 that cost me 17 cents: https://www.llm-prices.com/#it=90&ot=29734&ic=2&oc=6
It gave the svg for the wheels in the reasoning trace then forgot to include them in its final answer. Lol.
It has a "definition" for wheel in SVG inside <defs>, but did not use it in the picture.
Wow, bike geometry is really good! Except for the missing wheels lol
Do pelican bikes need wheels? They've got wings, after all... I think Qwen is on to something here.
It's because of the basket with the fish. like ET, fishy fishy sail home.
And what if his name is Marty?
K3 also forgot the wheels when I tried it, but it turned out to be a bug in llama-server's built-in SVG viewer. I know you have your own rasterizer but just FYI, sometimes it isn't the model's fault.
