# Grok 4 · OpenRouter

The author requested a static SVG through OpenRouter with max_tokens 10000, an output-length limit rather than a reasoning level. Original upstream PNG preview retained; no claim to recovered SVG source and no beautification. The subsequent image-description test is not visual-feedback redrawing. External benchmark claims in the article are not museum rankings. Model label is preserved from the command, not independently authenticated. Date is article publication; generation day is not independently verified.
