Claude Sonnet 5.540.8/100

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra11.9/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The candidate establishes a separate airborne black blob and partial crimson overlap, but leaves the paint interaction history and settled support unresolved. Its main silhouette, black placement and lamp projection depart substantially from the required camera geometry. A few faint reflection hints provide little support for the extensive mirror system, while the compact paint volumes are visibly disproportionate.

Simplified prompt

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.

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra41.0/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An endearing mechanical creature is clearly framed, with expressive amber eyes and readable segmented arms. The shell resembles layered green plates more than a deep coiled spiral. Detached-looking construction, absent working contacts and patchy rendering leave the central assembly action substantially unresolved.

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra54.8/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable beach illustration with appealing warm-cool contrast, readable layers and mostly clean shapes. Unresolved seat construction, schematic animals and broad geometric foliage give it an elementary finish. Weakly coordinated reflections and limited material differentiation further constrain depth and atmosphere.

Mona Lisa

Same prompt

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra10.0/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The centered silhouette provides basic organization, but multicolored mottling and geometric overlays leave the portrait unresolved. No readable face, crossed hands, clothing or landscape establishes Mona Lisa replication. Texture and transparency offer limited visual effects without coherent anatomy, lighting or material distinctions.

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra47.3/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The masked raccoon, dog and orange craft make the scene recognizable, with an appealing sunset palette. Overlapping bodies obscure the riding relationship, and the dog's connection to the controls remains unresolved. Weak water displacement, inconsistent shading and visible shape artifacts limit the finish. Ambiguous attachments do not establish detached limbs or inverted anatomy.

Pelican

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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra47.0/100

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable, playful pelican dominates a readable bicycle scene. Its bill and silhouette succeed, but feet below the pedals and confused drivetrain connections weaken the riding action. Local material modeling adds interest; overlapping contours, repetitive detail and inconsistent shadows leave the illustration basic and uneven.
