The judgment

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 (early version)

Visible panel shapes, curved sphere highlights, rounded side images and a lower continuation beneath the large left image establish recognizable local mirror structure. Their uneven arrangement, missing receding chains and absent nested imagery remain substantial shortcomings. The main sphere's framing is close, but black lacks projected separation and cyan does not establish recent apex contact.

The judgment

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 (early version)

The expressive rabbits, lavender moon and diagonal ring create an appealing storybook composition with nearly all requested features. Glossy eyes and pearly highlights work well. The helmet leaves the towering ears unenclosed, the reaching arm has little joint definition, and the spread boots suggest hovering more clearly than pushing off. Repeated scalloped fur marks and broad gradients limit material depth; purple edge halos soften otherwise controlled silhouettes.

29 Sep onwardResult details ↗

The judgment

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 (early version)

The dark clothing, folded hands and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the broad frontal face, oversized head, explicit smile and simplified landscape. Arms connect coherently, but overlapping hands lack convincing finger construction. Soft gradients suggest volume and atmospheric depth; clothing folds and facial features remain schematic.

The judgment

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 (early version)

A cheerful, coherent beach illustration with a strong sunset focal point, varied animals and readable small accessories. Connected flamingo legs and grounded foreground objects support the scene. Construction remains schematic, especially the airborne marine animal; its jump lacks clear water displacement. The sun reflection is effective but geometrically rigid, while shadows and material textures provide limited depth.

Raccoon

Different task instructions

Scene composition and interacting subjects.

The judgment

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 (early version)

The raccoon clearly rides on the dog's back, and the dog's paws reach a connected steering assembly. Expressive faces, controlled outlines and layered mountains make an appealing illustration. The seated anatomy and hull geometry are simplified, while the sunset has little corresponding reflection or directional shading. Curved spray conveys motion, although several splash ribbons look decorative.

The judgment

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 (early version)

The large pouched bill clearly identifies the pelican, and the balanced bicycle silhouette makes the action readable. Attached legs reach the crank area, but overlapping feet and crank lines leave pedal contact ambiguous. Consistent wheel scale, clean contours and a restrained coastal palette support an appealing composition. Lighting and surface treatment remain simple and mostly flat.
