GPT 5.6 Sol scores 2.5 points higher overall (49.0 vs 46.5). Claude Haiku 5.5 leads General Intelligence; GPT 5.6 Sol leads Visual Intelligence. GPT 5.6 Sol scores higher on Raccoon, with its largest category advantage in anatomy & construction.
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 central sphere and paint ordering are supported, but a frontal, centrally converging chamber replaces the required corner perspective. The first wall and floor images have incorrect placement and scale relationships. Sparse reflection cues remain, while continuous outer chains, open lateral sightlines, dense planar light sequences and curved nested spherical imagery are largely missing.

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 evenly spaced lobes, outward-facing heads and a clear central hexagon establish the requested knot. The ivory silhouette is controlled, but broad crossing bands resemble rigid strips, shading provides limited muscular volume, and repetitive scale lines extend across black loop openings. Small oval heads have readable eyes and mouths but limited anatomical character or moist surface detail.
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 crossed hands, dark dress and winding landscape establish the Mona Lisa composition. Replication is limited by enlarged eyes, an elongated face and a more frontal pose. Broad gradients suggest volume, but outlined features and flattened, overlapping fingers weaken the portrait. The frame and restrained palette unify the image; visible grain adds texture without convincing painterly transitions.

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 purple-to-gold sunset, framing palms and varied beach activities create an appealing, coherent illustration. The sun’s reflection establishes a clear focal path. Figures and animals are recognizable but geometrically simplified; airborne dolphins lack convincing splashes, and the boat reflection is schematic. Clean silhouettes and playful details succeed more strongly than anatomical depth or material realism.

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 faces, bold silhouettes and layered waves make an appealing cartoon. The raccoon sits convincingly behind the dog's shoulders, and the dog's forward paw reaches the steering grip. Steering construction and seated support remain somewhat ambiguous. The glowing sunset lacks a corresponding warm reflection or consistent illumination on the riders.

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
The expressive pelican and balanced coastal composition remain appealing, but a sky-colored slit between the neck contours above the wing leaves the central anatomy incoherent. This visible construction and layering defect prevents a clean-integrity assessment. Clustered feet lack clear pedal contacts and the chain routing is schematic; lighting and water reflections remain graphic.
