Claude Haiku 5.5 scores 2.1 points higher overall (46.5 vs 44.4). Claude Haiku 5.5 scores higher on Beach, with its largest category advantage in artistry & character.
The centered sphere, compact airborne black blob and differentiated cyan/crimson interaction support substantial state and placement credit. The few recognizable sphere and panel images establish limited optical relationships, but most of the required mirror system is missing. Rounded volume and localized paint warrant substantial material credit despite the soft, illustrative finish.
Simplified prompt
A shiny steel ball spins in a room with mirrored walls and a mirrored floor. Red, cyan and black paint float above it. Gravity suddenly switches on. Draw the scene a moment later, as the ball drops and paint begins landing on its spinning surface. Show the reflections repeating through the room.
The exact prompt is held back to prevent benchmaxxing.
The first wall and floor images provide limited reflection geometry, but the room's mirror recurrence is substantially incomplete, particularly the outer-edge chains and lateral sightlines. The main sphere and its large reflected images lack ordered, curved room and virtual-sphere imagery. Repeated emitter mapping is missing from both planar mirrors and spherical surfaces.

A coherent coral squid emblem with a compact mantle, restrained face and clean centered presentation. Its radial silhouette and floating placement work, but sharp arm tips, crowded roots and sparse surface modeling limit softness, construction and finish.
Simplified prompt
Draw a calm coral-red squid with eight thick arms spreading around it like flower petals. Keep the shape balanced and simple, with soft shading and a friendly face.

Expressive faces, cobalt coloring and a flowing diagonal composition make the mutual inspection charming. Execution is uneven: the long pointed flipper lacks a convincing grip, the enlarged shrimp face appears detached from its body, and the large lens is oval. Flat anatomical shading and an unexplained purple ringed patch beneath the whale weaken the requested polished depth.
Simplified prompt
Draw a curious blue whale examining a tiny shrimp through a bubble magnifying glass. The shrimp looks back through its own smaller bubble lens. An octopus assistant sits on the whale's head while rising bubbles lift a little seaweed wig above it.

A recognizable but basic Mona Lisa reinterpretation. Clean contours and smooth facial lighting provide coherence and volume. Replication remains limited by the frontal pose, elongated neck, schematic expression, unresolved crossed hands and sparse landscape. Lighting is more successful than anatomical construction and purposeful detail.
Exact prompt
Replicate mona-lisa as SVG

The centered portrait, dark hair, crossed hands and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the frontal pose, staring eyes and weakly defined smile. Hands are overlapping oval masses with almost no finger articulation, while wrists disappear into sleeves. Soft gradients suggest volume, but broad, indistinct surfaces and faint stray lines leave the drawing basic and uneven.

A cheerful, coherent beach illustration with attractive sunset colors, readable accessories and clean silhouettes. Its sun and sailboat reflections establish useful physical relationships. Simple animal construction, flattened foreground placement, sparse directional shadows and minimally differentiated surfaces limit its drawing refinement.
Exact prompt
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
The glowing sunset, silhouetted palm and playful foreground create a coherent, appealing beach illustration. Birds, crab, boat and reflections fulfill the brief. The airborne animals have weakly defined anatomy and little convincing splash interaction. Broad, blurred reflections and largely flat surfaces limit depth and finish.

A dark steel room has four pillars and two warm ceiling lights. A wooden plank is placed over a computer mouse, with a blueberry on the plank above it. Draw the scene a few seconds later, showing how the objects settle and how the light, shadows and surfaces look.

A tidy, appealing cartoon with recognizable animals and a pleasing sunset palette. Steering lacks visible controls, while schematic limbs and uncertain raccoon support weaken the requested interaction. Shallow vehicle construction, flat character lighting and modest displacement limit physical coherence. Clean shapes and readable identifying details remain strengths.
Exact prompt
Generate an SVG: A raccoon sits on a dog's back while the dog steers a jet ski

The sunset palette and silhouetted grouping establish an appealing scene. A masked rider sits above a pointed-eared dog, but merged body shapes leave limbs and support unresolved. The boatlike craft lacks readable steering controls, so the requested action is unclear. Sparse facial marks and glowing spray dots offer limited detail.

A cheerful, recognizable illustration with clean contours and a balanced warm palette. Aligned wheels and readable frame geometry establish the bicycle, but shoulder construction, feet and steering contact remain imprecise. Sparse drivetrain detail, flat materials and absent grounding shadows limit anatomical and spatial conviction.
Exact prompt
Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
A recognizable pelican rides a brightly colored bicycle against a striking sunset. The sweeping bill, trailing scarf and circular wheels create a controlled composition. Both legs connect, but pedal linkage, body support and the wing's handlebar grip remain loosely resolved. Clean vector shapes and feather details work well; simplified shading limits volume and integration with the sunset light.
