... here's the pelican, I think Qwen3.6-35B-A3B running locally did a better job! https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/16/qwen-beats-opus/

You used a secret backup test! Truly honored to see the flamingos. We obviously need them all now ;-)

A secret backup test to the pelican? This is as noteworthy as 4.7 dropping.

That flamingo is hilarious. Is that his beak or a huge joint he's smoking?

With the sunglasses, the long flamingo neck and the "joint", I immediately thought of the poster for Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas:

EDIT: Actually, it must be a beak. If you zoom in, only one eye is visible and it's facing to the left. The sunglasses are actually on sideways!
