Expert Opinions
Some experts think Karpathy’s Pelican is a good way to benchmark new models.
I don’t think it’s a bad way to benchmark new models, I just find it concerning that the author implies that ‘pelican on a bicycle’ has been exhausted.
Others are more skeptical.
It seems pretty clear that Anthropic models have been specifically trained to be good at generating three.js code, so given current state of AI code generation in general, I don’t find three.js models/animations as indicative of anything other than the model’s ability to write three.js code.
