Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
Principal sphere and airborne-black placements are supported, and diminishing bilateral chains provide limited optical structure. Missing nested imagery, incomplete outer chains, distorted first images and sparse emitter recurrence remain the dominant weaknesses. Oversized paint bodies and unresolved cyan contact impose separate limitations.
MiniMax M3
The centered sphere, aligned left wall image, smaller lower-left continuation and partially occluded floor image provide recognizable local mirror coherence. Cyan remains airborne, the main sphere resembles white marble, and missing right-side imagery, recursive optics and panel mappings leave the scene substantially incomplete.

Visual construction and creative interpretation.


DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
An expressive, intricately drawn storybook scene with a complete flowing silhouette and differentiated glossy materials. The supported main lens and continuous shrimp body make the central interaction readable, but reciprocal eye lines, facial magnification and the smaller lens grip remain ambiguous. Bright granular fringes and crowded accessory lines limit the finish.
MiniMax M3
The oversized coral M silhouette dominates clearly, with an expressive charcoal face and appealing miniature body. Limbs connect coherently and the cube reads clearly. The lowered left hand only loosely suggests the requested hip pose. Thin highlights and simple gradients provide limited sculptural volume; the cube's glow and grounding shadow are restrained.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
A whale and a tiny shrimp examine one another through bubble lenses, with an octopus nearby. The scene tests interacting characters, differences in scale and transparent materials.
MiniMax M3
A small robot with an oversized angular head presents a glowing object. The scene tests character proportions, gesture and contrasting materials.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
A coherent graphic interpretation with controlled contours, modeled facial volume and purposeful portrait details. Replication remains limited by the frontal pose, enlarged face, altered expression and ambiguous crossed hands. Landscape layering provides depth, while schematic fabric, smooth surfaces and tonal bands constrain the finish.
MiniMax M3
The centered portrait, dark hair and muted palette suggest Mona Lisa, but characteristic likeness and pose are poorly reproduced. The broad oval face lacks her subtle smile; rounded shoulders and a lone mittenlike hand leave the crossed-arm construction unresolved. Warm shading supplies some volume, while blurred landscape bands, generic clothing and indistinct features limit the drawing.

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
A coherent, colorful beach illustration with controlled curves, clean layering and varied readable accessories. Castle details and small animal features strengthen its finish. Schematic airborne animals, uncertain board support, shallow architectural depth and decorative reflections limit physical coherence and drawing sophistication.
MiniMax M3
A cheerful, coherent sunset illustration with framing palms, warm gradients and an aligned sun reflection. Animals and beach toys add character, but their construction remains basic. The sailboat appears suspended above the water horizon, while absent cast shadows weaken foreground contact. Clean geometric shapes provide polish without substantial texture or depth.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
An appealing cartoon with recognizable riders, expressive faces and a cohesive twilight palette. Clean shapes support the composition, but ambiguous limb overlaps, weak seat contact and loosely resolved steering limit physical coherence. Lighting and water effects are decorative, with modest material differentiation and drawing complexity.
MiniMax M3
The raccoon sits above the dog's back, and the dog reaches toward the jet ski controls. Expressive faces and a vivid sunset make the scene appealing. Construction is simplified: the dog's paws and steering grip are ambiguous, the hull is shallow, and blurred wake patches give limited water displacement. Sunset glow exceeds the lighting modeled on the riders.

Subject construction and spatial relationships.


DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
An expressive, controlled illustration with continuous body construction, substantial bicycle detail and effective landscape depth. Unclear foot-to-pedal and wing-to-handlebar contacts limit physical conviction and local readability. Purposeful detail and composition are stronger than directional lighting and material treatment.
MiniMax M3
The pelican's long bill, pouch and curved neck read clearly, and the warm sunset gives the composition appeal. Bicycle construction weakens the riding action: feet do not convincingly engage the pedals, crank connections are unclear, and body support is unresolved. Clean silhouettes and orderly spokes provide a competent illustrative finish.
