Claude Opus 5.555.7/100

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.

Mistral Large 4 030.2/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The central sphere, airborne black and deformed crimson support substantial state and placement credit. Recent cyan contact and crimson transport remain uncertain. Sparse wall patches and glossy gradients provide little evidence of the required extensive mirror system, while the missing centerline lamp and bulky crimson remain visible weaknesses.

Selfie

Different prompts

Claude Opus 5.577.6/100

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.

Mistral Large 4 072.5/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing, coherent illustration whose enormous rounded cat anchors the windblown composition. Warm shading and floating sketches communicate the brief well. Simplified paws, faint ear construction, inconsistent wind cues and limited material texture keep the execution below exceptional.

Mona Lisa

Different prompts

Claude Opus 5.562.5/100

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.

Exact prompt

Mistral Large 4 041.7/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable, cleanly rendered interpretation with a restrained palette and some facial modeling. Its enlarged frontal head, simplified expression, compressed low hands and schematic landscape substantially limit likeness and construction. The smooth rendering does not reproduce the painting's nuanced anatomy, clothing or atmospheric depth.

Beach

Different prompts

Claude Opus 5.577.0/100

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

Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed

Mistral Large 4 065.4/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A clean, appealing beach illustration with clear subject coverage, a cohesive sunset palette and expressive animal details. Bodies and accessories resolve basic construction coherently, although joints remain schematic. Layered shapes establish modest depth; generic oval shadows and flat surfaces limit physical richness. Repeated forms and sparse articulation leave room for more accomplished drawing.

Simplified prompt

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.

Raccoon

Different prompts

Claude Opus 5.576.0/100

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.

Exact prompt

Mistral Large 4 069.5/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The central interaction is clear, with recognizable animals, expressive faces and a coherent sunset composition. Clean contours and readable accessories give the cartoon polish. Simplified joints, uncertain steering attachment, shallow hull volume and limited directional lighting constrain its physical resolution.

Pelican

Benchmax control

Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for Claude Opus 5.5 and Mistral Large 4 0.

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.

Mistral Large 4 072.3/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A coherent, appealing pelican illustration with a continuous body silhouette, readable bicycle and grounded wheels. Simplified legs and ambiguous steering and pedal connections limit construction. Clean shapes and expressive accessories succeed, while shallow depth, modest lighting and sparse material differentiation leave substantial room for refinement.
