Worth noticing
The page frames success as more than drawing a bird: the pelican must be on a bicycle and appear to be riding it.

Field notes

The fixed assignment is “Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.” The page says submissions pass through safe rendering and technical checks before a vision judge assesses whether the bird, bicycle, and riding relationship make sense; each result includes reasoning and can be shared. A public leaderboard lists four displayed submissions, with scores from 62 to 80 and dates of Oct. 3, 2026. The site labels the project an experimental community benchmark.
