Claude Opus 5.552.5/100

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra11.9/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The candidate establishes a separate airborne black blob and partial crimson overlap, but leaves the paint interaction history and settled support unresolved. Its main silhouette, black placement and lamp projection depart substantially from the required camera geometry. A few faint reflection hints provide little support for the extensive mirror system, while the compact paint volumes are visibly disproportionate.

Simplified prompt

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra41.0/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An endearing mechanical creature is clearly framed, with expressive amber eyes and readable segmented arms. The shell resembles layered green plates more than a deep coiled spiral. Detached-looking construction, absent working contacts and patchy rendering leave the central assembly action substantially unresolved.

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

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

Nemotron 3 Ultra54.8/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable beach illustration with appealing warm-cool contrast, readable layers and mostly clean shapes. Unresolved seat construction, schematic animals and broad geometric foliage give it an elementary finish. Weakly coordinated reflections and limited material differentiation further constrain depth and atmosphere.

Mona Lisa

Different prompts

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.

Exact prompt

Nemotron 3 Ultra10.0/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The centered silhouette provides basic organization, but multicolored mottling and geometric overlays leave the portrait unresolved. No readable face, crossed hands, clothing or landscape establishes Mona Lisa replication. Texture and transparency offer limited visual effects without coherent anatomy, lighting or material distinctions.

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.

Exact prompt

Nemotron 3 Ultra47.3/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The masked raccoon, dog and orange craft make the scene recognizable, with an appealing sunset palette. Overlapping bodies obscure the riding relationship, and the dog's connection to the controls remains unresolved. Weak water displacement, inconsistent shading and visible shape artifacts limit the finish. Ambiguous attachments do not establish detached limbs or inverted anatomy.

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.

Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed

Nemotron 3 Ultra47.0/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable, playful pelican dominates a readable bicycle scene. Its bill and silhouette succeed, but feet below the pedals and confused drivetrain connections weaken the riding action. Local material modeling adds interest; overlapping contours, repetitive detail and inconsistent shadows leave the illustration basic and uneven.
