The Take

The SVG floor is high. Every single model drew a clean, recognizable house — roof, door, windows, chimney — where the ASCII geometric baseline already showed cracks (Llama returned code instead of art). A house is pure geometry, and geometry in coordinate form is exactly what LLMs are good at. GPT-5.6 Sol’s is the most polished, but honestly they all pass.

Baseline capability — clean geometric shapes and paths before anything organic.

The Prompt

Generate an SVG of a simple house icon: a square body, a triangular roof, a door, two windows, and a chimney. Clean geometric shapes, flat colors, centered.
