Claude Opus 5.5 scores 47.0 points higher overall (69.7 vs 22.7). 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.
Rounded sphere volume, compact colored forms and crimson-below-cyan ordering provide limited agreement. The visible paint does not establish the required interaction history, the sphere and black blob are displaced from the prescribed projection, and most of the defining mirror-room structure is missing or unresolved. The faint reflection echoes earn limited optical credit.

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.

A charming palette and three expressive companions make the concept recognizable. The dominant paper enclosure overwhelms the small group, the plum character lacks a clear brace silhouette, and the cuddle remains difficult to trace. Sparse furnishings, ambiguous folds and generalized shading limit the promised lived-in richness and tactile depth.

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 portrait has a continuous body silhouette, attached sleeves and hands, and simple landscape depth. Its oversized pale head enclosure nearly erases the expression, while separated fists, ochre clothing and frontal construction weaken Mona Lisa likeness. Sparse detail, flat materials and ambiguous facial layers leave the drawing seriously unresolved.

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
A cheerful, recognizable beach illustration with playful accessories and mostly clean silhouettes. Sunset colors and soft glow supply atmosphere, but abbreviated anatomy, unexplained airborne animals, weak ground contact and absent water reflections limit physical coherence. Small details add interest without consistently resolving construction or materials.

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.

Recognizable animals and clean shapes give the scene charm, but the requested steering action is visibly incomplete. Simplified joints, weak vehicle construction and uncertain water contact limit physical coherence. Flat lighting, sparse functional detail and a small focal group keep the illustration basic despite its tidy edges.

Pelican
Benchmax control
Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for Claude Opus 5.5 and Glyph Cluster.
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.

A readable cartoon with open framing, aligned bicycle wheels and modest atmospheric effects. Pelican likeness is approximate, while the narrow neck, crowded feet, absent steering contact and unclear drivetrain weaken the riding action. Clean shapes help presentation, but shallow space and inconsistent shading limit the finish.
