Newton's Mirror

Same task instructions

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

The judgment

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813

The central sphere and gross paint state are coherent. Reduced circular side images and paired overhead quadrilaterals offer limited, spatially organized reflection cues, but the floor-sphere image, receding mirror-room structure, outer chains, nested imagery and curved emitter mappings are largely missing or invalid.

Inkling-Small

The sphere's apparent floor support, separate dark feature and broad paint ordering justify partial state credit. The major weakness is the largely missing mirror system: isolated side images and faint floor echoes do not establish repeated virtual rooms or curved spherical mapping. Downward framing, the oversized frontal panel, unresolved paint transport and satin surface appearance remain distinct limitations.

Selfie

Different task instructions

Visual construction and creative interpretation.

The judgment

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813

The whale’s warm eye, lavender assistant and tilted shell convey appealing character. However, the shrimp and reciprocal inspection are unresolved, the large bubble and upper tail are cropped, and the flipper’s grip is unclear. Broad competing color fields and conspicuous stepped edges weaken the flowing composition. Gradients suggest volume, but lighting and translucent materials remain uneven.

Inkling-Small

The faces and dripping caps communicate a cute mushroom scene, but simple construction and weak spatial relationships limit the result. The defining foot-stamping action is unresolved, the flattering portrait is smaller than its painter, and the requested material contrasts are only partly conveyed.

Inkling-Small

Character scenes test expression, anatomy, materials and coherent visual construction.

Mona Lisa

Different task instructions

Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.

The judgment

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813

Dark hair, a restrained smile and a hazy landscape make the reference recognizable. Severe construction problems dominate: oversized looping sleeves surround a background-colored opening, and the crossed hands lack coherent wrist and forearm connections. Rigid symmetry and elongated facial proportions weaken expression. Soft skin gradients and clean contours provide limited finish.

Inkling-Small

A recognizable but rudimentary Mona Lisa interpretation. Facial shading and subdued colors provide coherence, while the frontal blocklike torso, unresolved wrists, fingerless hands and shallow landscape substantially limit likeness, construction and finish.

Beach

Same task instructions

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.

The judgment

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813

The glowing sunset, framing palms and layered shoreline create a coherent beach scene with animals, birds and playful accessories. The airborne blue animal has unclear anatomy, while flat foliage, weak ground contact and broad oval reflections limit depth and finish. The image is appealing but visibly simplified.

Inkling-Small

A recognizable sunset beach with a clear focal sun and appealing color transitions. Connected fish silhouettes and layered scenery establish basic coherence. Primitive figures, ambiguous recreation, sparse descriptive detail and weak grounding limit construction and depth. The aligned reflection supplies a useful lighting cue, but shadows and material effects remain underdeveloped.

Raccoon

Same task instructions

Scene composition and interacting subjects.

The judgment

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813

The masked raccoon riding the steering dog is readily recognizable, with expressive faces and energetic diagonal movement. The oversized tail dominates the composition, limb connections are difficult to trace, and the jet ski has little structural depth. Blurred spray and a heavy oval shadow weaken water contact, while the glowing sun produces little corresponding illumination.

Inkling-Small

Recognizable animals, readable accessories and an appealing sunset support a coherent basic cartoon. Rounded construction leaves joints, riding support and steering unresolved. Decorative gradients contribute atmosphere, but directional lighting, distinct materials and convincing water displacement are weakly demonstrated.

Pelican

Same task instructions

Subject construction and spatial relationships.

The judgment

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813

A clearly recognizable pelican cycles through a balanced, expressive illustration. The sweeping bill, shaded plumage and carefully drawn wheels give it character. Mechanical construction is weaker: the chain loop sits below the crank, and foot-to-pedal and wing-to-handlebar contact are ambiguous. Smooth gradients provide volume, but the scene remains visibly stylized.

Inkling-Small

The pelican is immediately recognizable, and its sweeping neck, shaped bill and orderly spokes provide character. Riding remains only partially realized: legs, pedal engagement, steering and seat support cannot be read confidently. Controlled graphic effects add atmosphere, but simplified construction and weak grounding keep the result basic.
