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 M3.1 Flash
The sphere placement, separate airborne black blob, recent cyan contact and elongated crimson aftermath support the required gross physical state. The reflection system remains severely incomplete: isolated side images, broad metallic bands and sparse light patches replace extensive mirror repetitions and curved nested imagery.

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 M3.1 Flash
The sculptural M, confident grin and miniature theatrical pose closely fulfill the brief. Controlled gradients and clean shapes give the character volume and appeal. Moderate drawing complexity, an apparently separated shoe and ambiguous grounding limit the finish.

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 M3.1 Flash
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 M3.1 Flash
A coherent decorative portrait combines layered hair, garment contours, linked trim and atmospheric scenery. These provide meaningful drawing complexity, but likeness remains limited by the frontal elongated face and altered clothing. Compressed hands, abrupt facial shading and cluttered local edges leave the portrait uneven.

An SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa tests facial likeness, anatomy and the composition of a familiar portrait.
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 M3.1 Flash
A controlled, detailed beach illustration with expressive animals, coherent depth and accomplished foliage and accessory drawing. Its warm palette and varied contours sustain visual interest. Simplified anatomy and object volumes limit physical conviction, while reflection streaks crossing dry-looking sand and generic shadows weaken the lighting.

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 M3.1 Flash
An expressive, coherent cartoon clearly demonstrates the requested riding and steering relationship. Layered animal shapes, readable vehicle depth and purposeful facial details support its drawing quality. Ambiguous grips, sparse cast shadows and simplified material responses limit physical precision.

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 M3.1 Flash
A controlled coastal illustration with a clear pelican silhouette, detailed wheels and accomplished feather and bill drawing. Continuous body construction and grounded wheels support the scene. Ambiguous leg, pedal and steering contacts weaken the riding mechanics; approximate directional lighting and simplified materials limit physical conviction.
