# grok · historical cycling pelican SVG preview

The original author’s X post explicitly requests or describes model-generated SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle; the corresponding published media and post are retained as evidence. Only this actual source-labelled output is counted, not screenshots, source files or reposts as extra works. The date is the original post’s UTC publication date; actual generation time is unpublished. Model and creator labels remain source-reported and not independently authenticated; wolfstride, grok, Claude and preview labels are not upgraded to certified release identities. A strict one-shot claim is not made when complete run history is absent. Only the public original preview is archived; unverified-permission code is not mirrored and no playable demo is added. The author explicitly reports three visual-inspection revisions; this is the published final preview of an iterative workflow, not a one-shot result.

- Prompt category: Source-documented test
- Original prompt: Here is an experiment: 
1. generating an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle
2. let the model assess its output and then improve it iteratively

this is what I got from grok after 3 iterations:

The prompt is:
Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle

- Convert the .svg to .jpg using chrome devtools, then look at the .jpg using your vision capabilities.
- Improve the .svg based on what you see in the .jpg and what's still to improve.
- Keep iterating in this loop until you're satisfied with the generated svg.
- Keep the .jpg for every iteration along the way.
