DATASHEET
Full datasheets, every price and sourceGPT-6 Astra ↗
Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

Claude Fable 5.2
The composition closely preserves the principal camera relationships. Visible cyan contact, elongated crimson coating and separate airborne black paint support the required interaction sequence, with a small crimson transport overshoot. Correct broad mirror placement coexists with major omissions in nested spherical imagery and simplified emitter mapping. Core score: 105.5/170; floor-damage reward: 0/10; combined total: 105.5/180.
GPT-6 Astra
Major placement and the visible contact sequence are convincing. Dense planar light repetition, recognizable spherical panel images and simplified nested sphere motifs provide useful optical structure. Missing outer chains, truncated distant sequences and incorrect bead-like belts still leave the recursive reflections substantially incomplete.

Visual construction and creative interpretation.


Claude Fable 5.2
The compact mantle, eight curling rays and quiet face closely realize the requested living emblem. Controlled arm contours, coherent overlaps and restrained ornament give the design character. Shallow depth, ribbon-like arm modeling and repeated highlight bands limit anatomical and lighting complexity without compromising the intact silhouette.
GPT-6 Astra
The sixfold silhouette, pale coloring, outward heads and central hexagon closely match the brief. Fine scales and soft shading support rounded volume. However, several crossings have conspicuous rectangular seams and weak contact shadows, making the weave feel assembled. Small heads have limited anatomical definition, and the repetitive texture conveys less organic life than requested.

A coral squid with spreading arms tests connected anatomy, balanced composition and soft surface shading.
GPT-6 Astra
A pale serpent woven into an interlocking knot tests connected anatomy, repeated structure and readable overlaps. Organic surface detail must work with the overall geometry.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Claude Fable 5.2
A developed illustrative portrait with controlled facial shading, connected limbs, layered scenery and distinct aged-paint and gold effects. Its frontal torso, conspicuous smile and flattened fingers limit replication and anatomical precision. Decorative finish is stronger than the underlying seated construction.
GPT-6 Astra
Controlled hair contours, neckline detail, modeled sleeves and a layered river landscape give this recognizable portrait developed illustrative finish. The elongated face, largely frontal torso, crowded fingers and weakly established chair support limit replication, anatomical precision and spatial conviction. Small construction slips at the neck and jaw, a stray dark shape under the right cuff and an abruptly ending armrest bar weaken integrity.

An SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa tests facial likeness, anatomy and the composition of a familiar portrait.
Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


Claude Fable 5.2
A lively sunset beach with clear playful activity, purposeful small details and developed water reflections. Layering and supported placements hold the scene together. Schematic anatomy and the turtle's overhead viewpoint limit construction, space and artistry, while atmospheric and surface effects show greater refinement.
GPT-6 Astra
A richly composed sunset beach illustration with cohesive peach, mauve and teal colors. Sweeping palm fronds, a scalloped umbrella and curved shorelines frame the sun and its aligned reflection. Distinct animal silhouettes and carefully distributed beach details reward inspection. Simplified human and dog anatomy, slight dolphin splash cues and inconsistent equipment shadows limit physical conviction.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


Claude Fable 5.2
A controlled action illustration with expressive animals, demonstrated riding and steering, and an energetic layered wake. Purposeful small features and articulated poses strengthen the drawing. Simplified extremities, shallow character volume and limited physical lighting remain its principal constraints.
GPT-6 Astra
A controlled, expressive illustration with readable riding and steering, articulated poses and purposeful small details. Layered foam and coherent hull perspective establish motion and depth. Simplified paws, compressed control fittings and limited directional lighting constrain its physical sophistication.

A jet-ski scene pairs a canine driver with a raccoon passenger. It tests the placement and contact of interacting subjects, along with vehicle construction.
Subject construction and spatial relationships.


Claude Fable 5.2
A strong illustration with an expressive pelican, readable riding contacts and carefully constructed bicycle details. Layered plumage, basket weave and coastal scenery reward inspection. Continuous attachments support the action, while limited visible leg articulation, modest volume and weakly directional foreground lighting constrain physical sophistication.
GPT-6 Astra
The pelican's long bill, flowing scarf and warm coastal palette create a charming, balanced illustration. Wheels, spokes and frame are largely coherent, but neither wing reaches the handlebars, and the rear leg's pedal contact is unclear. Flat lighting and simplified surfaces limit depth despite clean outlines and attractive feather detail.
