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.

Pixel Canary26.1/100

Pixel Canary: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The principal sphere placement and paint contact sequence are supported. Isolated sphere and panel images provide limited optical structure, but missing lateral chains and side-floor continuations prevent a coherent repeating mirror room. The main and reflected spheres lack ordered curved nested imagery, while sparse planar emitter images and incomplete spherical emitter mapping leave most of the reflection system unsupported.

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.

Pixel Canary76.5/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG self-portrait: a round golden voxel canary placing a cyan block into a miniature control panel.
Researcher observations

The cheerful yellow bird, cream eyes, orange features and miniature teal console closely match the brief. Clean block edges, restrained colors and soft shadows create an appealing composition. The body reads more like a gridded disc than a fully cubic sphere, and the outlined left wing has limited volume. The right wing reaches the cyan block, though its grip is ambiguous.

Beach

Different prompts

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.

Pixel Canary75.0/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG beach sunset with dolphins, birds, a kite, beachgoers, a crab, a turtle, a sandcastle and reflections in the water.
Researcher observations

A coherent sunset beach illustration with lively wildlife, play, and a strong warm-to-purple palette. The sun and its reflection establish a clear focal point. Small figures and dolphins have simplified, sometimes ambiguous construction; dark branching forms beneath the right horizon lack clear counterparts above. Clean decorative shapes succeed more consistently than convincing anatomy, materials, or reflected geometry.

Mona Lisa

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.

Pixel Canary51.0/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa, with soft painted shading and the complete ornate gold frame.
Researcher observations

The framed portrait recalls Mona Lisa through dark hair, folded arms and a hazy landscape. Replication is limited by wide, staring eyes, an elongated neck and a downturned mouth. The overlapping hands lack convincing finger and wrist construction. Soft tonal shading suggests volume, but pervasive blur obscures clothing, landscape and anatomical detail.

Raccoon

Different prompts

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.

Pixel Canary77.3/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG of a raccoon holding a drink on a goggle-wearing dog’s back as the dog steers a jet ski across the sea.
Researcher observations

The raccoon clearly rides the dog's back, and the dog's paws reach the jet ski controls. Expressive faces, a sweeping tail and a strong sunset composition give the illustration character. Limbs remain connected, but the dog's foreleg joints and vehicle seating are loosely constructed. Angular splashes convey speed more successfully than convincing water displacement; lighting and reflections remain decorative.

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.

Pixel Canary: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing cartoon with a distinctive pelican, expressive eye, warm bill and carefully drawn bicycle wheels. The wing reaches the handlebar, but the feet do not clearly engage the pedals, weakening the riding mechanics. Layered hills create depth; limited ground shadows weaken contact. Clean curves and purposeful feather details give the illustration polish.
