Claude Opus 5.5: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Hy4 Preview22.2/100

Hy4 Preview: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The central sphere, compact airborne black bead and broad paint ordering are supported. Contact and transport history remain partly unresolved. The optical system provides only isolated first images and light patches, with little evidence of the extensive ordered reflection structure. Rounded metal and paint gloss are more successful than the reflected contents.

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.

Selfie

Different prompts

Claude Opus 5.578.3/100

Claude Opus 5.5: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Hy4 Preview69.5/100

Hy4 Preview: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A cohesive, appealing illustration with a serene face, luminous palette and complete framing. The separated head and torso weaken anatomical coherence, while crowded wing attachments and angular sash folds limit the requested suppleness. Clean execution and decorative detail exceed the clarity of the underlying construction.

Beach

Same prompt

Claude Opus 5.578.0/100

Claude Opus 5.5: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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

Hy4 Preview69.0/100

Hy4 Preview: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A cheerful beach illustration fulfills the visible subject requirements with coherent foreground construction and a harmonious sunset palette. Shallow depth, schematic reflections, ambiguous blue airborne forms and exposed geometry beneath the sunset limit its finish. Small accessories are readable, but materials and surface detail remain simplified.

Mona Lisa

Claude Opus 5.564.8/100

Claude Opus 5.5: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Hy4 Preview44.5/100

Hy4 Preview: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable but basic Mona Lisa interpretation with a cohesive earthy palette and atmospheric hills. The rigid neck, generic face and unresolved folded-hand pose limit replication and anatomy. Large silhouettes and layer boundaries are comparatively clear, warranting stronger integrity credit than the sparse detail and simplified construction.

Raccoon

Same prompt

Claude Opus 5.575.0/100

Claude Opus 5.5: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Hy4 Preview61.0/100

Hy4 Preview: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A lively cartoon communicates the animal pair traveling across water. Curving waves, rising spray and locally modeled gray forms strengthen motion and volume. Ambiguous seating, simplified joints and unclear control routing limit construction. Competing focal elements, decorative foam and inconsistent illumination leave the finish uneven.

Pelican

Outside General and Visual Intelligence.

Claude Opus 5.572.5/100

Claude Opus 5.5: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Hy4 Preview62.5/100

Hy4 Preview: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable, playful pelican cyclist with readable wheels, accessories and landscape layers. Form shading and ground shadows provide competent depth. Angular legs, uncertain pedal engagement and absent steering contact limit the riding construction; crowded overlaps and simple surfaces constrain refinement.
