Claude Haiku 5.5 scores 35.5 points higher overall (46.5 vs 11.0). 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.
Horizontal centering and a separate airborne black blob are visible. Cyan's recent contact and crimson's forward transport are insufficiently demonstrated, while sphere support remains obscured. The enlarged, lowered sphere substantially changes the composition. The wall and floor sphere images, recursive room structure and curved emitter mappings are almost entirely 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.

Glowing teal spheres and a harmonious palette provide visible strengths, but the central character remains seriously unresolved. A large gap separates head and torso, limbs cannot be traced, and scattered garment shapes fail to establish the ornate costume. The foreground mound replaces the tall enclosing arch. Clean primitive edges do not repair these construction failures.
Simplified prompt
Draw a friendly capybara floating in ornate green and white robes. A glowing halo and small floating orbs surround it, giving it the feel of a gentle fantasy guide.

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

A centered dark oval with sparse facial marks forms a simple graphic face, but scarcely replicates the Mona Lisa. The portrait's body, crossed hands, clothing and landscape are missing, while angular facial construction and flat tones lose its likeness, volume and subtle expression.

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 beach is recognizable, and sweeping shoreline curves provide basic rhythm. Wildlife and playful activity remain poorly resolved, with ambiguous body construction and object contact. The sun glows without corresponding reflections or surface lighting. Fragmented subjects and an unintegrated rectangular panel substantially weaken composition 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
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
Bright colors, clean individual shapes and basic animal cues make the scene partly recognizable. Back seating, body continuity, steering and jet ski construction remain unresolved. Background gradients and wave rhythm provide some finish, but substantial anatomical, spatial and interaction weaknesses dominate.

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 and orderly spoked wheels make the subject partly recognizable. Clean contours and strong color contrast provide graphic clarity, but unresolved appendages, steering, drivetrain and support dominate the construction. Sparse shading and detail further limit the illustration.
