DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scores 18.9 points higher overall (44.8 vs 25.9). DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in state at 600 ms.
The first wall and floor images provide limited reflection geometry, but the room's mirror recurrence is substantially incomplete, particularly the outer-edge chains and lateral sightlines. The main sphere and its large reflected images lack ordered, curved room and virtual-sphere imagery. Repeated emitter mapping is missing from both planar mirrors and spherical surfaces.
Benchmark task
A shiny steel ball spins in a room with mirrored walls and a mirrored floor. Red, cyan and black paint float above it. Gravity suddenly switches on. Draw the scene a moment later, as the ball drops and paint begins landing on its spinning surface. Show the reflections repeating through the room.
The sphere's volume, separate airborne black blob and vertical color ordering are readable. The large, low sphere, plain surrounding planes and absent nested optical imagery leave the central geometric and reflection requirements unsupported. Paint contact and transport remain unresolved. Material credit recognizes the visible convex shading, highlights and distinct surface colors while retaining deductions for the schematic finish and oversized blobs.

Expressive faces, cobalt coloring and a flowing diagonal composition make the mutual inspection charming. Execution is uneven: the long pointed flipper lacks a convincing grip, the enlarged shrimp face appears detached from its body, and the large lens is oval. Flat anatomical shading and an unexplained purple ringed patch beneath the whale weaken the requested polished depth.
Benchmark task
Draw a curious blue whale examining a tiny shrimp through a bubble magnifying glass. The shrimp looks back through its own smaller bubble lens. An octopus assistant sits on the whale's head while rising bubbles lift a little seaweed wig above it.
A clean, appealing luminous mascot with coherent body continuity and a readable jar-hugging pose. Rounded highlights, smooth gradients and balanced framing work well. The teardrop silhouette, modest eyes and nearly even grin only partly satisfy the character brief; sparse jar construction and simple geometry limit sophistication.
The centered portrait, dark hair, crossed hands and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the frontal pose, staring eyes and weakly defined smile. Hands are overlapping oval masses with almost no finger articulation, while wrists disappear into sleeves. Soft gradients suggest volume, but broad, indistinct surfaces and faint stray lines leave the drawing basic and uneven.
The portrait is recognizable through its silhouette, palette and smile, with clean execution of simple shapes. Replication remains weak: the face and pose differ markedly, hands become fingerless ovals, clothing lacks construction, and the landscape loses its atmospheric detail. Basic gradients provide limited volume.
The glowing sunset, silhouetted palm and playful foreground create a coherent, appealing beach illustration. Birds, crab, boat and reflections fulfill the brief. The airborne animals have weakly defined anatomy and little convincing splash interaction. Broad, blurred reflections and largely flat surfaces limit depth and finish.
Benchmark task
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
A coherent beach illustration with clean silhouettes, a sweeping shoreline and an effective sunset palette. Requested subjects are recognizable, but primitive animal construction, sparse detail, unsupported palm placement and schematic reflections limit drawing sophistication and physical credibility.

A dark steel room has four pillars and two warm ceiling lights. A wooden plank is placed over a computer mouse, with a blueberry on the plank above it. Draw the scene a few seconds later, showing how the objects settle and how the light, shadows and surfaces look.

The sunset palette and silhouetted grouping establish an appealing scene. A masked rider sits above a pointed-eared dog, but merged body shapes leave limbs and support unresolved. The boatlike craft lacks readable steering controls, so the requested action is unclear. Sparse facial marks and glowing spray dots offer limited detail.
Benchmark task
A raccoon sits on a dog's back while the dog steers a jet ski
Clean, simple silhouettes communicate a raccoon riding on a dog. Limited animal specificity, absent steering controls and a flat platform weaken the requested scene. Small facial marks provide purposeful detail, while unresolved support, flat lighting and schematic water restrict physical coherence. Primitive but coherent construction supports basic drawing quality.

A recognizable pelican rides a brightly colored bicycle against a striking sunset. The sweeping bill, trailing scarf and circular wheels create a controlled composition. Both legs connect, but pedal linkage, body support and the wing's handlebar grip remain loosely resolved. Clean vector shapes and feather details work well; simplified shading limits volume and integration with the sunset light.
A clean, readable illustration with balanced placement and coherent basic geometry. The sky gradient and ground shadow establish diffuse illumination. Primitive shapes and sparse detail limit artistry, while unclear leg attachment, missing pedal contact and unresolved steering weaken the riding action.
