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.

Qwen3.8 Max 0902: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The central sphere and differentiated cyan/crimson interaction are supported. The tiny highlighted object above the sphere provides partial airborne-black evidence. The few isolated sphere and panel images preserve limited optical relationships, but most of the repeating mirror-room structure is missing. Core score: 64.5/170; including the floor-damage reward: 64.5/180.

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.

Qwen3.8 Max 090274.3/100

Qwen3.8 Max 0902: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A coherent ornamental illustration with balanced framing, appealing color and legible magical accessories. The disconnected raised wrist, incorrect raised-arm side and palm orientation, bear-like facial proportions and shallow material modeling limit execution. Clean decoration and compact spatial balance remain strengths.

Simplified prompt

Draw a friendly capybara floating in ornate green and white robes. A glowing halo and small floating orbs surround it, giving it the feel of a gentle fantasy guide.

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

Qwen3.8 Max 090276.8/100

Qwen3.8 Max 0902: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A strong stylized beach illustration with coherent sunset color, lively dolphin arcs and balanced activity. Clean contours, readable ground contact and an aligned reflection support the finish. Schematic anatomy, sparse small-subject features, flat materials and repetitive water highlights limit physical depth and refinement.

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

Qwen3.8 Max 090251.0/100

Qwen3.8 Max 0902: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable, cohesive Mona Lisa interpretation with readable landscape layers and a restrained expression. Continuous body construction and clean contours support readability, but broad hands, simplified drapery, frontal symmetry and limited facial volume keep the execution basic and uneven.

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.

Qwen3.8 Max 090270.3/100

Qwen3.8 Max 0902: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The riding arrangement and steering action are readable, supported by coherent visible attachments and useful character details. Clean shapes, strong color separation and clustered foam make the scene appealing and active. Stiff anatomy, crowded controls, limited directional lighting and simple surface treatments constrain sophistication.

Pelican

Benchmax control

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.

Qwen3.8 Max 090271.5/100

Qwen3.8 Max 0902: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing graphic illustration with a recognizable pelican, readable bicycle and clean coastal composition. Steering contact and one connected pedal support the action. Ambiguous neck-to-torso construction, an unclear opposing pedal connection, shallow space and limited material and lighting effects constrain its execution.
