Screenshot of mask tool. At the top is a select box to pick a model (currently using Gemini 2.5 Pro) and a prompt that reads: Give the segmentation masks for the pelicans. Output a JSON list of segmentation masks where each entry contains the 2D bounding box in the key "box_2d" and the segmentation mask in key "mask". Below that is JSON that came back - an array of objects. The mask keys are base64 encoded PNG data. Below that is the original image, then the image with masks overlaid and a coordinate system, then two columns showing each cropped image and mask next to each other. |

Described by o4-mini: The image is a very simple, minimalistic line drawing of a bird riding a bicycle, rendered against a plain white background. Key elements: • Two large, identical circles for the bike’s wheels, outlined in thick black. • A horizontal bar links the rear wheel to the bird’s body; a slanted bar links the front wheel to the bird. • The front wheel has a single straight spoke ending in an arrowhead, suggesting the forward direction of travel. • The bird itself is drawn with basic shapes: – A small circle for the head, with a single dot for the eye and a short yellow triangle for the beak. – An oval for the body. – Thin lines for the neck, legs, and the bike’s pedals and handlebars. • The bird appears perched on the saddle, its legs extending down to the pedals, and its tiny wings resting near the handlebars. |

Described by o3: The illustration shows a playful, stylized bicycle whose frame is drawn to resemble a duck. • The duck’s rounded body forms the bicycle’s seat area, and a small wing is sketched on its side. • Its long neck stretches forward to become the top tube, ending in a simple head with a black eye and an orange, open beak that points ahead like handlebars. • Two large black‑outlined wheels with thin, evenly spaced spokes complete the bike, while thin blue lines depict the rest of the frame, pedals, and chain. • A dashed grey ground line runs beneath the wheels, giving the impression the duck‑bike is rolling along. |

This one is pleasingly avant-garde. The bicycle does at least have two wheels joined by a frame. The pelican is a fun shape, and it has a beak with a curved orange top and a curved yellow bottom. |

Animated terminal demo. My prompt is tell me about pelicans. The model responds: Sure, I'd be happy to tell you about pelicans! Pelicans are a group of aquatic birds in the order Pelecaniformes, which also includes the cormorants, darters, and frigatebirds. They are found on all continents except Antarctica, and are known for their distinctive pouch-like bill. There are several species of pelicans. The most common species is the Brown Pelican, which is found in the Americas. It's the only species that plunges into water from a significant height to catch fish and other prey, a behavior known as "fish-grabbing." Another common species is the American White Pelican, which can be found in both the Americas and Eurasia. It has a white plumage and a large, bright pink bill, and feeds on fish in lakes, rivers, and coastal wetlands. Pelicans are generally medium-sized birds, but the Brown Pelican is the largest, with an average height of around 26-30 inches. Their bills can be as long as 11 inches!

call out.
3. Captain - Perfect for a bird that soars majestically
over the seas.
4. Gulliver - Inspired by the traveler, this name suits a bird known for long migrations.
5. Nibbles - Despite their size, pelicans feed primarily on small fish, making this a playful and ironic choice.

Four images of pelicans having a tea party. These look a bit more like illustrations - they are more whimsical, in formal settings and the pelicans often have little hands - sometimes white, sometimes pink claws - to hold the tea with. |

Four images of pelicans having a tea party. They are photo realistic, in a natural outdoor setting. None of the pelicans are holding their tea, they are just standing near the tea service. |

Prompt: A rap battle between a pelican and a sea otter. Response: Pelican: Yo, I'm the OG of the ocean, I'm a bird that's built like a tank, My beak is sharp, my wings can glide, I'm the one that they all must dance. Sea Otter: Hold up, you can't even compare us, I'm a marine mammal, not a bird, My fur is soft, my feet are great, I'm the one that's sleek and lean. Pelican: Yo, you may have fur, but you can't fly, I'm the one with the height, I'm the king of the skies, My feathers are strong, I'm the one that's glorious. Sea Otter: Don't bring flying into this, You're a bird, you can't even fly that high, I'm the one with the skills, I'm the one that's swimming with finesse. Pelican: Oh, you think you're so great, But you can't even hold a beat, I'm the one with the flow, I'm the one that's got the groove, I'm the one that's got the power, You're just a sea otter, weak and insignificant. Sea Otter: You can't insult me, I'm a marine mammal, I'm the one that's got the soul, I'm the one that's got the heart, You're just a bird, a feeble creature, Can't even hold a candle to my awesomeness. |

A beautiful painting. A racoon sits in the foreground at a little table in the forest. He is surrounded by pelicans, one of which is pouring a drink from a half-bucket-half-teapot. |

These are really cool images of pelicans with lightning - though again, they aren't really made of lightning. Also there's no album text any more. |
