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.

Ling 3.1 Flash39.6/100

Ling 3.1 Flash: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

Central placement, separate airborne black paint and the elongated crimson coating earn substantial state and placement credit. Cyan contact remains unresolved. A few isolated sphere images provide limited optical evidence, while the defining repeated mirror structure is missing. Readable opaque metallic volume and restrained paint scale justify increased material credit. Core: 61.5/170; including the floor reward: 61.5/180.

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.

Ling 3.1 Flash77.0/100

Ling 3.1 Flash: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing, coherent storybook ant with a clear expression, complete silhouette and readable signal mechanism. Clean curves and warm accents support the composition, while simplified joints, schematic hardware, limited material differentiation and modest light interaction constrain its finish.

Mona Lisa

Same prompt

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.

Ling 3.1 Flash24.0/100

Ling 3.1 Flash: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A basic, uneven Mona Lisa interpretation with a clear facial focal point, articulated eyes and modest tonal volume. Weak likeness, oversized head proportions, unclear shoulders, curled bare arms and indistinct hands limit replication. The compressed composition and rectangular torso weaken an otherwise coherent earthy palette.

Beach

Same prompt

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.

Ling 3.1 Flash65.7/100

Ling 3.1 Flash: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A coherent sunset illustration with harmonious color, clean silhouettes and readable beach details. Its calm composition works well, while playful activity is modest. Simplified animal anatomy, shallow shoreline layering, repetitive foliage and a geometric reflection limit drawing sophistication and naturalism.

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

Same prompt

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.

Ling 3.1 Flash63.1/100

Ling 3.1 Flash: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing sunset cartoon with recognizable animals, expressive faces and coherent landscape layers. The sky and warm water streaks provide its strongest rendering. Ambiguous seated support, stiff forelegs, a shallow hull and an unclear steering connection limit construction. Clean shapes and readable accessories add finish, while restrained spray and flat surfaces limit material and motion effects.

Pelican

Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Ling 3.1 Flash.

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.

Ling 3.1 Flash70.0/100

Ling 3.1 Flash: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A clean, appealing pelican illustration with a readable bicycle and coherent landscape. Bill shading, feather layers and faint wheel shadows provide modest depth. Uncertain pedal contact, simplified leg construction and limited material rendering keep the result within competent illustration quality.
