Newton's Mirror

Same prompt

Physics, perspective and recursive reflections, tested together. Explore the test ↗

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.

Mistral Large 4 030.2/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The central sphere, airborne black and deformed crimson support substantial state and placement credit. Recent cyan contact and crimson transport remain uncertain. Sparse wall patches and glossy gradients provide little evidence of the required extensive mirror system, while the missing centerline lamp and bulky crimson remain visible weaknesses.

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.

Mistral Large 4 072.5/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing, coherent illustration whose enormous rounded cat anchors the windblown composition. Warm shading and floating sketches communicate the brief well. Simplified paws, faint ear construction, inconsistent wind cues and limited material texture keep the execution below exceptional.

Mona Lisa

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

Mistral Large 4 041.7/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable, cleanly rendered interpretation with a restrained palette and some facial modeling. Its enlarged frontal head, simplified expression, compressed low hands and schematic landscape substantially limit likeness and construction. The smooth rendering does not reproduce the painting's nuanced anatomy, clothing or atmospheric depth.

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

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

Mistral Large 4 065.4/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A clean, appealing beach illustration with clear subject coverage, a cohesive sunset palette and expressive animal details. Bodies and accessories resolve basic construction coherently, although joints remain schematic. Layered shapes establish modest depth; generic oval shadows and flat surfaces limit physical richness. Repeated forms and sparse articulation leave room for more accomplished drawing.

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

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.

Mistral Large 4 069.5/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The central interaction is clear, with recognizable animals, expressive faces and a coherent sunset composition. Clean contours and readable accessories give the cartoon polish. Simplified joints, uncertain steering attachment, shallow hull volume and limited directional lighting constrain its physical resolution.

Pelican

Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Mistral Large 4 0.

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.

Mistral Large 4 072.3/100

Mistral Large 4 0: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A coherent, appealing pelican illustration with a continuous body silhouette, readable bicycle and grounded wheels. Simplified legs and ambiguous steering and pedal connections limit construction. Clean shapes and expressive accessories succeed, while shallow depth, modest lighting and sparse material differentiation leave substantial room for refinement.
