A r/LocalLLaMA user proposed replacing the pelican SVG test with recreating arbitrary photos as SVG, arguing pelicans are trainable but random photos are not. After sweeping settings on Qwen3.8-27B quants, the reported best configuration is --image-min-tokens 1024, --reasoning-effort xhigh, --temperature 1.0, and bf16 for both K and V caches, with non-reasoning results at Q3 and Q4 described as 'more than creepy.' The thread hit 155 upvotes and the settings sweep is directly reusable for anyone evaluating local vision models.
