Claude Sonnet 3.5 and Opus can't hang with GPT-4o on SVG generation
Tested both—Claude consistently fumbles:
→ Coordinate precision falls apart
→ Paths don't close properly
→ Spatial positioning breaks
→ Geometry comes out warped
→ ViewBox framing is off
→ Layers misalign constantly
GPT-4o destroys them on complex vector math and raw XML output. Claude models still lack true visual-spatial reasoning when it comes to raw code generation.
TLDR: If you're building with SVGs, stop trying to force Claude. Use proper design tools or lean on GPT-4o. Don't waste cycles on broken outputs.
