Claude Sonnet 5.5 scores 35.1 points higher overall (68.4 vs 33.3). Claude Sonnet 5.5 scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in state at 600 ms.
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.
The exact prompt is held back to prevent benchmaxxing.
The artwork depicts a shaded sphere, distinct paint colors and a separate airborne black blob. Crimson's apex overlap does not establish its earlier interaction and transport, while cyan's recent contact remains unsupported. Horizontal centering supplies limited camera agreement, but the sphere, black blob and prominent panel have substantial placement or projection departures. A few planar echoes provide reflection evidence; isolated patches and gradients replace most of the required mirror structure.

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.

An appealing decorative illustration with coordinated ornament, flowing panels and three glowing orbital lights. The arm arrangement reverses the requested sides. Uncertain neck continuity, concealed leg articulation, simplified paws, crowded chest jewelry and shallow surface modeling limit pose clarity and finish.
Simplified prompt
Draw a friendly capybara floating in ornate green and white robes. A glowing halo and small floating orbs surround it, giving it the feel of a gentle fantasy guide.

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.

The portrait loosely evokes Mona Lisa through its palette and silhouette. Readable pupils, brows and lips provide limited detail, and the torso remains continuous. The frontal elongated face, unresolved chest-level limb forms, shallow landscape and pervasive blur substantially weaken likeness, anatomy and finish.

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
A recognizable sunset beach with balanced palms, clean shapes and effective warm–cool contrast. Small animals and play equipment address the brief, but rudimentary anatomy, uncertain water contacts, sparse reflections and flat materials keep the drawing basic or uneven.

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.

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.

A readable cartoon with balanced colors, clean shapes and a clearly supported raccoon. Continuous body construction and modest shading deserve credit. Rudimentary limbs, unresolved steering connections, stiff gestures and schematic water effects limit physical credibility and finish.

Pelican
Benchmax control
Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Qwen3.6 27b.
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.

A lively, coherent illustration with recognizable pelican features, purposeful accessories and useful surface variation. Ambiguous neck layering, uncertain pedal engagement and an unresolved drivetrain limit construction. Aligned wheels and layered scenery establish placement, while inconsistent shadow direction and crowded overlaps constrain finish.
