LLMs generate diagrams faster via DSLs like Penrose than from scratch

Reacting to a new model's diagramming capabilities, the author argues that LLMs should be guided by well-designed APIs and domain-specific languages (like Penrose) rather than generating from low-level languages like SVG. This approach yields better results with fewer tokens and more user control.
