Key Points

The article compares SVG generation performance across several leading models, including Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5 Pro, DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.1, and Gemini 3.1 Pro, reporting broadly similar results in the author’s tests.
It finds that among open models, only DeepSeek and GLM achieve quality comparable to the top closed models.
The author highlights a major cost gap: GPT 5.5 Pro is described as prohibitively expensive relative to alternatives.
Gemini and Opus are presented as far cheaper, while DeepSeek and GLM are reported to be roughly 10–100x cheaper than Gemini and Opus based on token consumption and per-run costs.

These are the top open and closed model: Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5 Pro, DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.1 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. They both show similar performance in my testing.

Open models: The only open models that have equivalent quality compared to the top models are DeepSeek and GLM.

Cost:

GPT 5.5 Pro: Super expensive it makes no sense (cost is around $2)
Gemini/Opus: $0.2/$0.1. Opus is cheaper as it consumed less tokens
DeepSeek/GLM: $0.019/$0.021 10-5 times cheaper than Gemini and Opus
