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.

Grok 4.732.8/100

Grok 4.7: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

Some sphere reflections are correctly placed, with useful size progression and a floor image. Their overlapping side continuations and inverted floor paint order provide additional local optical cues. The gross paint sequence is recognizable, although crimson is a little too low. Incorrect lamp projections and absent nested and receding imagery still leave the mirror system largely incomplete.

Selfie

Different prompts

Claude Sonnet 5.579.0/100

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.

Grok 4.768.8/100

Grok 4.7: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The bold spiral dominates an appealing, restrained silhouette, with crisp angular turns and subtle charcoal highlights. However, a visible background gap separates the shell from the body, making the shell appear suspended. The connected head and delicate eye stalks read clearly, while shading and small features remain simple.

Beach

Same prompt

Claude Sonnet 5.582.3/100

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.

Grok 4.762.3/100

Grok 4.7: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The warm sunset, blue water and scattered beach activities create a cheerful, readable composition. Animals and equipment use basic silhouettes, with limited anatomical detail and grounding. The sun reflection forms a rigid tapered strip, and foreground objects lack cast shadows. Clean shapes support the illustration, but depth, materials and drawing complexity remain modest.

Mona Lisa

Different prompts

Claude Sonnet 5.563.8/100

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.

Grok 4.749.5/100

Grok 4.7: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The dark clothing, crossed hands, restrained smile and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the oversized, simplified face, elongated neck and rounded hands with poorly resolved fingers. Gentle facial shading adds volume, but the clothing and landscape remain flat. Angular veil overlaps and a hard horizontal background boundary weaken the finish.

Raccoon

Same prompt

Claude Sonnet 5.576.3/100

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.

Grok 4.762.0/100

Grok 4.7: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The raccoon rides clearly on the dog's back, and expressive faces, bright colors and a readable orange hull create a playful composition. Steering is unresolved: the dog's visible paws rest on the deck rather than grasping the controls. Simple body shapes and ribbonlike wake limit construction and movement. The glowing sun produces little corresponding illumination or reflection.

Pelican

Outside General and Visual Intelligence.

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.

Grok 4.763.3/100

Grok 4.7: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The pelican reads clearly through its long bill, throat pouch and curved neck. Clean pastel shapes and balanced scenery make an appealing illustration. The riding mechanism is less convincing: feet lack clear pedal contact, steering is unresolved, and the frame lacks a coherent drivetrain. Simple shading and sparse feather detail limit depth and finish.
