Ant Group's Ling-3.1-Flash Outperforms OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol in 3D SVG Icon Generation Test

Ant Group's new Ling-3.1-Flash model substantially outperformed OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol in generating 3D SVG iconography for design workflows, producing more than five times the vector shapes according to a benchmark conducted by Design Arena. In a blind test comparing models on a task to generate complete 3D SVG icon sets of 100+ icons for a design agency, Ling-3.1-Flash produced over 1,000 distinct shapes, while GPT-5.6 Sol generated fewer than 200—a significant capability gap in vector graphics generation.
