Pixel Canary scores 4.6 points higher overall (51.1 vs 46.5). Claude Haiku 5.5 leads General Intelligence; Pixel Canary 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 principal sphere placement and paint contact sequence are supported. Isolated sphere and panel images provide limited optical structure, but missing lateral chains and side-floor continuations prevent a coherent repeating mirror room. The main and reflected spheres lack ordered curved nested imagery, while sparse planar emitter images and incomplete spherical emitter mapping leave most of the reflection system 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.

The cheerful yellow bird, cream eyes, orange features and miniature teal console closely match the brief. Clean block edges, restrained colors and soft shadows create an appealing composition. The body reads more like a gridded disc than a fully cubic sphere, and the outlined left wing has limited volume. The right wing reaches the cyan block, though its grip is ambiguous.
Simplified prompt
Draw a huge round yellow canary made of little cubes. It holds a blue block above a tiny control panel, looking curious about the machine. Give the scene a soft, playful 3D look.

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 framed portrait recalls Mona Lisa through dark hair, folded arms and a hazy landscape. Replication is limited by wide, staring eyes, an elongated neck and a downturned mouth. The overlapping hands lack convincing finger and wrist construction. Soft tonal shading suggests volume, but pervasive blur obscures clothing, landscape and anatomical detail.

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
A cohesive sunset beach illustration with lively wildlife, playful accents, and an appealing warm-to-purple palette. Palm framing and the aligned sun reflection organize the scene, while connected silhouettes keep the activities readable. Schematic joints, ambiguous dolphin junctions, loosely matched reflections, and repetitive surface marks limit construction, lighting coherence, and material depth.

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
The raccoon clearly rides the dog's back, and the dog's paws reach the jet ski controls. Expressive faces, a sweeping tail and a strong sunset composition give the illustration character. Limbs remain connected, but the dog's foreleg joints and vehicle seating are loosely constructed. Angular splashes convey speed more successfully than convincing water displacement; lighting and reflections remain decorative.

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
An appealing cartoon with a distinctive pelican, expressive eye, warm bill and carefully drawn bicycle wheels. The wing reaches the handlebar, but the feet do not clearly engage the pedals, weakening the riding mechanics. Layered hills create depth; limited ground shadows weaken contact. Clean curves and purposeful feather details give the illustration polish.
