The ONLY AI Benchmark You Need!

The creator built an unconventional AI benchmark called Buccy Bench with a single, absurd task: have AI models draw Gary Busey using SVG code. Rather than using traditional image generation models like DALL-E or Stable Diffusion, this benchmark requires models to write actual code—shapes and lines—that somehow compose into a recognizable rendering of the actor. The test is simple in concept but reveals interesting results: different AI models produce vastly different interpretations, ranging from reasonable attempts to increasingly weird outputs. By tracking models starting from GPT-3.5 Turbo in March 2023, the creator documented how different models evolved in their ability to generate SVGs, with some improving over time while others produced chaotic or bizarre results. The benchmark includes practical features like sorting by cost, tokens used, and execution time, as well as a timeline view that allows users to filter by provider and track each model's "Gary Busey journey." The entire website was built using Fable. While intentionally ridiculous in premise, the creator notes that the benchmark is actually useful—combining entertainment value with legitimate performance measurement capabilities.
