Creating clean vectors has proven to be an elusive goal. Firefly in Illustrator still (to my knowledge) just generates bitmaps which then get vectorized. Therefore this tweet caught my attention:
Free-form SVG generation has always been an incredibly hard problem – a challenge I’ve worked on for two years. But with #Gemini3, everything has changed! Now, everyone is designer.
Proud of the amazing team behind breakthrough, and always excited for our future release! https://t.co/rlpUdgjY5Y pic.twitter.com/yeJG36lzKm

In my very limited testing so far, however, results have been, well, impressionistic. 🙂

Here’s a direct comparison of my friend Kevin’s image (which I received as an image) vectorized via Image Trace (way more points than I’d like, but generally high fidelity), vs. the same one converted to SVG via Gemini(clean code/lines, but large deviation from the source drawing):
But hey, give it time. For now I love seeing the progress!
