Claude Haiku 5.5 scores 7.6 points higher overall (46.5 vs 38.9). Claude Haiku 5.5 leads General Intelligence; GPT 5.6 Luna leads Visual Intelligence. Claude Haiku 5.5 scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in reflections.
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 room enclosure has coherent symmetric perspective, with the overhead panel, sphere and black aligned centrally. The sphere and airborne black occupy substantially lower positions than the reference framing, inconsistent with the prescribed camera aim. The diagonal crimson streak does not establish the required surface transport. Faint wall sphere images provide limited mirrored correspondence, but the shallow floor image, missing receding chains, absent nested sphere imagery and sparse emitter mapping leave most reflection structure unsupported.

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.

Six pale, outward-facing heads and six rounded lobes make the knot recognizable. The central hexagonal opening remains clear. However, broad gray crossing panels flatten the weave, several inner joins resemble capped strips, and sparse oversized scale marks leave the bodies looking more like decorated ribbons than living snakes.
Simplified prompt
Draw a pale six-headed snake woven into a symmetrical knot. Its body passes over and under itself around a small hexagonal opening, with six little heads facing outward. Add lifelike scales, curved muscles and shadows without losing the clear knot shape.

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 central portrait, dark clothing, crossed hands and muted landscape clearly evoke Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the elongated face, conspicuous eyes and simplified smile. Overlapping fingers have uncertain anatomy, while broad gradients and heavy outlines flatten the portrait. The composition and restrained palette remain coherent.

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 warm sunset, palm silhouette and varied beach activities create an appealing, readable composition. Animals, birds and a broad sun reflection satisfy the brief. Drawing remains elementary: angular airborne sea animals lack splash or convincing motion, the crab's claws are awkwardly constructed, and repeated reflection bands suggest a stepped platform. Clean outlines and pleasant colors exceed the anatomical and spatial sophistication.

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
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
Expressive animals, a striped tail and clean outlines make the scene appealing and readable. The raccoon sits convincingly on the dog's back, but the overlapping steering paws are ambiguous and the control stem stops above the hull. Broad wake shapes suggest motion; the glowing sun lacks a corresponding water reflection.

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 cyclist with an expressive profile, balanced composition and controlled outlines. Head, neck and torso connect coherently. The bicycle wheels and frame are convincing, but overlapping feet obscure pedal contact, the drivetrain lacks a clear chain, and the wing's handlebar grip is schematic. Atmospheric color succeeds more strongly than directional lighting or material depth.
