Claude Opus 5.5 scores 16.2 points higher overall (69.7 vs 53.5). Claude Opus 5.5 scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in reflections.
Open lateral sightlines, first reflected silhouettes and near-field planar panel placement are convincing. Missing outer chains, truncated repetitions and absent nested spherical room and emitter imagery remain the main weaknesses.
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 setup is recognizable, but the paint interaction remains poorly established and off-center. The first wall and floor images provide coherent placement, scale, silhouette and occlusion cues, with faint lower echoes. Missing receding chains, nested imagery and ordered emitter mappings leave the reflection system heavily simplified. Dull shading does not convincingly depict polished steel or mirrors.

The centered coral squid has a friendly, restrained expression and a balanced radial silhouette within a cream arch. Smooth curves and soft shading give it an appealing matte finish. The mantle is more elongated than compact, the upper arms are visually ambiguous, and the two hanging tentacles read somewhat like legs. Clean execution supports a strong stylized illustration.
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 expressive emerald face, ivory horns, gold accents and fine veining closely match the brief. Rounded volumes and layered shading create an appealing mascot. Rear hoof placement is cramped, lighting is somewhat inconsistent, and conspicuous white patches behind the muzzle interrupt the finish. Surfaces remain visibly stylized rather than photographic.
Simplified prompt
Draw a friendly green bull with a big head, ivory horns and gold details. It lifts one front hoof and wears a gold alpha symbol on its forehead. Make its rounded body look like polished stone.

The portrait preserves the recognizable composition, dark veil, folded hands and distant landscape. Replication is limited by the elongated face and neck, conspicuous eyes and simplified smile. Hands remain connected but their rounded fingers and wrists lack convincing anatomy. Restrained colors create cohesion; shallow modeling and pervasive mottling weaken volume and painterly subtlety.

The crossed arms, green dress and hazy landscape clearly evoke Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the frontal pose, oversized eyes, elongated face and pronounced lips. Overlapping finger strips lack convincing knuckles and palm volume. The balanced framing and soft shading provide cohesion, but simplified anatomy, repetitive folds and blurred scenery keep the portrait basic.

A lively, well-composed beach illustration with rich sunset colors, recognizable animals and appealing accessories. The sun reflection establishes a strong central focus. Clean silhouettes and small details reward inspection, though simplified animal construction, uneven contact shadows and mostly flat materials limit depth and realism.
Exact prompt
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
Framing palms, a vivid sunset palette and balanced kite and umbrella create an appealing beach illustration. Layered water and shoreline give the scene depth, while aligned reflections reinforce the sunset. Small accessories add character and reward inspection. Figures and animals remain schematic, some overlaps are difficult to read, and simplified shadows and flat surfaces limit physical richness.

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.

The masked raccoon clearly rides the dog's back, and the dog's forward paw reaches the steering grip. Expressive faces, vivid colors and sweeping wakes create an appealing illustration. Connected limbs remain schematic, as does the small steering assembly. The broad hull and flat foam weaken water contact; the glowing sun lacks a corresponding reflection or convincing cast shadows.

The recognizable pelican, orderly bicycle wheels and harmonious sunset create an appealing illustration. Both legs connect to the body and reach pedals; no clear detached or inverted parts appear. Steering contact and seating support are less convincing, while the drivetrain remains schematic. Crisp outlines give a clean finish, but limited shading and flat surfaces leave the scene with modest depth.

The pelican, bicycle and seaside setting form a clear, appealing illustration. Circular wheels, readable frame tubes and clean silhouettes support the action. The legs connect to the body, but the far foot's pedal contact and wing-to-handlebar junction are cramped. Simple shading, uniform wave marks and limited surface texture keep the rendering relatively flat.
