# Pelican-on-a-Bicycle Benchmark

A deterministic SVG benchmark for model capability writeups.

## Description

This benchmark generates a pelican riding a bicycle as an SVG image. The concept originated from Simon Willison's model testing approach: if a model can draw a pelican on a bicycle, it demonstrates spatial reasoning, anatomical understanding, and mechanical accuracy in a single constrained task.

## Scoring Criteria

| Aspect | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pelican anatomy | 25% | Recognisable pelican with beak pouch, body proportions |
| Bicycle mechanics | 25% | Two wheels, frame, handlebars, pedals |
| Integration | 25% | Pelican seated on bicycle, feet on pedals |
| SVG quality | 15% | Valid SVG, reasonable viewBox, no broken paths |
| Artistic merit | 10% | Colour, composition, visual appeal |
