Claude Haiku 5.5 scores 3.2 points higher overall (46.5 vs 43.3). Claude Haiku 5.5 leads General Intelligence; GPT 5.6 Terra 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 real sphere and airborne black blob are substantially too low in the complete frame after accounting for aspect ratio.
The first wall and floor reflections have incompatible placement, relative size or silhouette.
Both lateral regions lack the references' receding lane-and-chain organization.
The few recognizable mirror images provide limited optical structure. The main, side and floor spheres replace nested mirror imagery with smooth bands, while sparse planar light patches and broad spherical highlights fail to establish coherent repeated emitter mapping.

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 ivory heads and rounded lobes create a striking radial emblem around a clear hexagonal opening. Soft shading gives the bodies volume, but abrupt rectangular and diagonal band endings make the continuous alternating weave ambiguous. Repetitive scale lines and simplified faces convey an ornamental serpent more convincingly than living anatomy.
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
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
The dark clothing, central portrait and restrained smile evoke the Mona Lisa, but replication is limited by the broad face, elongated neck, nearly frontal pose and indistinct landscape. Soft gradients give the face some volume. Crossed arms become rounded masses without readable fingers or wrists, and the expression lacks the original's subtlety. Clean framing and curves support an otherwise basic, uneven portrait.

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
Warm sunset gradients, framing palms and colorful beach activities create an appealing scene. Animals, birds and a sun reflection fulfill the brief. The dog and turtle remain schematic, foreground depth is shallow, and the reflection forms rigid bands. Clean silhouettes and readable accessories support a competent illustration, but limited anatomy, material variation and lighting keep it below exceptional.

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

Expressive faces, a recognizable raccoon perched on the dog, and a sweeping wake make an appealing cartoon. The principal weakness is the steering interaction: the dog's paw sits beside the control assembly without a convincing handlebar grip. Bold outlines and coherent layering provide polish, while simplified shading, compressed seating geometry and angular splashes limit depth and physical credibility.

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.

The oversized bill, expressive eye and balanced twilight palette make the cyclist immediately readable. Clean contours and wheel details support the illustration, but the rabbit-like head tufts weaken pelican likeness. The wing does not clearly grip the handlebar, pedal contact is uneven, and the drivetrain is incomplete. Lighting remains mostly decorative.
