In an informal SVG generation benchmark, Alibaba's Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model running locally via a 20.9GB quantized version outperformed Anthropic's newly released Claude Opus 4.7. The test, which asked models to generate SVG illustrations of pelicans and flamingos on bicycles, showed the smaller local model producing more accurate bicycle frames and more creative outputs.
