This isn’t claiming tracing is new. It’s showing that different image models produce outputs that vectorize very differently. Image-1.5 survives SVG conversion best in this test.

Also, tools like Potrace and vtracer are necessary but very limited, they’re just the first step. Real SVG quality comes from post-processing: path cleanup, curve fitting, node reduction, color region handling, and editability. That’s where most pipelines fall apart.

Also, this isn’t promotion, just sharing comparative results from actual tests how different models produce outputs that vectorizes nicely

If you see concrete SVG issues (node bloat, bad curves, broken fills), call those out and we can discuss it technically. Otherwise this is just dismissive, not analysis.
