Claude Sonnet 5.547.8/100

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

The near-field silhouettes, broad perspective and paint contact order are recognizable. Missing outer chains, truncated repetitions and absent ordered imagery within the main and reflected spheres substantially limit the reflection system. Sparse spherical highlights leave much of the curved room and emitter mapping unsupported, despite some plausible planar light sequences.

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.

Glyph Cluster13.8/100

Glyph Cluster: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Selfie

Different prompts

Claude Sonnet 5.578.6/100

Claude Sonnet 5.5: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The centered coral squid has a friendly, composed expression and a balanced flower-like silhouette. Eight thick arms and two slender tentacles remain visibly connected, with no inverted parts. The mantle is elongated rather than compact, and the arm spacing is uneven. Soft shading gives volume, but dense stippling weakens the requested smooth matte finish; the broad background halo makes depth less precise.

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.

Glyph Cluster32.4/100

Glyph Cluster: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Mona Lisa

Different prompts

Claude Sonnet 5.560.2/100

Claude Sonnet 5.5: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The crossed hands, dark dress, restrained smile and winding landscape clearly recall the Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the frontal symmetry, wide eyes, elongated neck and flattened fingers. Soft facial shading provides volume, but heavy darkness and pervasive crackle obscure forms. The composition is coherent; the landscape and fabric remain visibly schematic.

Exact prompt

Replicate mona-lisa as SVG Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed

Glyph Cluster11.7/100

Glyph Cluster: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Beach

Different prompts

Claude Sonnet 5.587.0/100

Claude Sonnet 5.5: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A richly designed beach illustration combines radiant sunset bands, intricate palm fans and playful silhouettes within a cohesive purple, coral and turquoise palette. Carefully varied accessories reward close inspection, while overlapping foreground forms and shoreline layers organize the abundant activity. Dense palm strokes compete with focal subjects; animal anatomy, relative scales and reflected silhouettes remain simplified.

Exact prompt

Glyph Cluster44.1/100

Glyph Cluster: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Raccoon

Different prompts

Claude Sonnet 5.576.1/100

Claude Sonnet 5.5: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The raccoon clearly rides on the dog's back while the dog grips the jet ski controls. Expressive faces, vivid colors and a sweeping wake make the scene appealing. Visible limbs connect coherently, but overlapping steering paws and an indistinct control mounting weaken construction. Flat character lighting and simplified water limit depth and material realism.

Glyph Cluster43.6/100

Glyph Cluster: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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 Sonnet 5.5 and Glyph Cluster.

Claude Sonnet 5.576.8/100

Claude Sonnet 5.5: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The pelican is immediately recognizable, with an expressive face, generous bill and appealing cycling pose. Spokes, chain, feathers and scarf provide purposeful detail. The bicycle largely holds together, though overlapping angular legs obscure the far foot’s pedal contact. Clean outlines and balanced composition succeed; flat surfaces and limited directional lighting constrain depth.

Glyph Cluster44.3/100

Glyph Cluster: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.
