Newton's Mirror

Same task instructions

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

The judgment

Crouton Alpha

The artwork establishes approximate central placement, a separate airborne black blob, and basic wall and floor sphere images. Its defining weaknesses are the largely absent recursive reflection system, missing emitter mappings, satin steel appearance and unresolved paint interaction. The black lateral wedges do not establish a separate viewport, and the hidden floor contact does not establish a gap. The category values remain unchanged.

Grok 4.7

Some sphere reflections are correctly placed, with useful size progression and a floor image. Their overlapping side continuations and inverted floor paint order provide additional local optical cues. The gross paint sequence is recognizable, although crimson is a little too low. Incorrect lamp projections and absent nested and receding imagery still leave the mirror system largely incomplete.

Selfie

Different task instructions

Visual construction and creative interpretation.

The judgment

Crouton Alpha

A cheerful, readable cartoon captures the crouton's signature expression and many specific accessories. Coherent cube geometry and foreground foreshortening support the selfie. Simple construction and flat material treatment limit its sophistication, while the tipping raft, advancing soup and unnoticed soaking remain insufficiently clear.

Grok 4.7

The bold spiral dominates an appealing, restrained silhouette, with crisp angular turns and subtle charcoal highlights. However, a visible background gap separates the shell from the body, making the shell appear suspended. The connected head and delicate eye stalks read clearly, while shading and small features remain simple.

Mona Lisa

Same task instructions

Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.

The judgment

Crouton Alpha

A recognizable, coherent simplification with readable eyes, a restrained smile and modest facial volume. Frontal symmetry, an oversized head, capsule-like hands and geometric scenery substantially limit likeness, anatomy and depth. Clean contours preserve basic integrity but do not establish sophisticated construction or finish.

Grok 4.7

Dark clothing, overlapping hands and a restrained smile make the reference recognizable. The broad frontal face, elongated neck and oversized head weaken likeness and anatomical proportion; rounded hands lack convincing fingers. Gentle facial shading suggests volume, while clothing and landscape remain flat. Angular veil overlaps and a hard horizontal background boundary weaken the finish.

Beach

Same task instructions

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.

The judgment

Crouton Alpha

A colorful, readable sunset beach scene with playful subjects and a clear central reflection. Purposeful equipment and animal details reward inspection, and the principal attachments remain intact. Basic geometric anatomy, mixed viewpoints and sparse directional shadows limit its construction and depth; smooth gradients provide atmosphere with little material differentiation.

Grok 4.7

The warm sunset, blue water and scattered beach activities create a cheerful, readable composition. Animals and equipment use basic silhouettes, with limited anatomical detail and grounding. The sun reflection forms a rigid tapered strip, and foreground objects lack cast shadows. Clean shapes support the illustration, but depth, materials and drawing complexity remain modest.

Raccoon

Same task instructions

Scene composition and interacting subjects.

The judgment

Crouton Alpha

A readable cartoon with expressive faces, purposeful markings and clear water motion. Hull shading and an underside shadow establish modest depth. The dog contacts the controls, but the raccoon's frontal pose leaves its seated weight unresolved. Simple anatomy and limited shared perspective constrain the drawing.

Grok 4.7

The raccoon rides clearly on the dog's back, and expressive faces, bright colors and a readable orange hull create a playful composition. Steering is unresolved: the dog's visible paws rest on the deck rather than grasping the controls. Simple body shapes and ribbonlike wake limit construction and movement. The glowing sun produces little corresponding illumination or reflection.

Pelican

Same task instructions

Subject construction and spatial relationships.

The judgment

Crouton Alpha

A recognizable, expressive pelican cyclist with purposeful feather and bicycle detail. Readable steering reach, connected machinery and modest body shading earn additional credit. Jointless legs, uncertain pedal engagement and unclear seated support keep the central action only partially resolved; shallow space and simple materials further limit the illustration.

Grok 4.7

The pelican reads clearly through its long bill, throat pouch and curved neck. Clean pastel shapes and balanced scenery make an appealing illustration. The riding mechanism is less convincing: feet lack clear pedal contact, steering is unresolved, and the frame lacks a coherent drivetrain. Simple shading and sparse feather detail limit depth and finish.
