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.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash

The main sphere's scale, approximate placement and separate airborne black are supported. The colored beads do not establish the required paint history. Plausible locations for three reflected silhouettes provide limited optical credit, while missing chains, nested imagery and coherent emitter mapping dominate the assessment.

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.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash

The centered rabbit has an appealing alert expression, a balanced silhouette, and a restrained technological palette. Outfit panels and orbital accents are cleanly resolved. The orb-holding paw has an ambiguous grip, the ears lack distinct angular bends, and the halo's interlocking construction is unclear. Soft shading suggests volume, but materials and spatial depth remain simplified.

A small rabbit in an explorer outfit floats with a luminous orb. The scene tests character anatomy, pose and the placement of geometric forms around it.

Mona Lisa

Different 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.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash

The dark clothing, long hair, folded hands and hazy landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the frontal symmetry, elongated face, wide staring eyes and downturned mouth. Both arms connect to the hands, but the overlapping palms and looplike fingers are poorly resolved. Soft facial shading provides some volume; the clothing and landscape remain broad, simplified shapes.

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.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash

The warm sunset, aligned reflection, framing palms and playful beach animals create an appealing, coherent scene. Small toys and shells remain readable. Drawing is simplified: animals have limited volume, water uses repetitive horizontal strokes, and foreground shadows do not consistently follow the central sun. Clean execution supports a competent illustration, but depth and material rendering 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.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash

The raccoon riding the dog reads clearly, with expressive faces and a cheerful waterscape. The steering action is weak: no paw reaches the handlebar, which meets the dog's muzzle. The vehicle resembles a thin board with a steering post. Overlapping limbs obscure anatomy, while limited shadows, reflections and surface modeling keep the scene flat.

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.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash

The pelican is immediately recognizable, with an expressive eye and prominent pouch, and the landscape provides clear framing. Clean outlines and spokes support the cheerful illustration. Both feet visibly miss the bicycle's pedal mechanism, weakening the riding action. Simplified machinery, shallow depth and loosely directional shading limit the requested masterpiece quality.
