DeepSeek V4.1 Flash43.3/100

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Simplified prompt

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 exact prompt is held back to prevent benchmaxxing.

Qwen3.5 9B10.9/100

Qwen3.5 9B: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

Horizontal centering and a separate airborne black blob are visible. Cyan's recent contact and crimson's forward transport are insufficiently demonstrated, while sphere support remains obscured. The enlarged, lowered sphere substantially changes the composition. The wall and floor sphere images, recursive room structure and curved emitter mappings are almost entirely missing.

Simplified prompt

Selfie

Different prompts

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash63.4/100

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Simplified prompt

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.

Qwen3.5 9B25.8/100

Qwen3.5 9B: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

Glowing teal spheres and a harmonious palette provide visible strengths, but the central character remains seriously unresolved. A large gap separates head and torso, limbs cannot be traced, and scattered garment shapes fail to establish the ornate costume. The foreground mound replaces the tall enclosing arch. Clean primitive edges do not repair these construction failures.

Simplified prompt

Draw a friendly capybara floating in ornate green and white robes. A glowing halo and small floating orbs surround it, giving it the feel of a gentle fantasy guide.

Mona Lisa

Same prompt

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash37.5/100

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Qwen3.5 9B1.2/100

Qwen3.5 9B: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A centered dark oval with sparse facial marks forms a simple graphic face, but scarcely replicates the Mona Lisa. The portrait's body, crossed hands, clothing and landscape are missing, while angular facial construction and flat tones lose its likeness, volume and subtle expression.

Beach

Same prompt

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash59.8/100

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Exact prompt

Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed

Qwen3.5 9B12.8/100

Qwen3.5 9B: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The beach is recognizable, and sweeping shoreline curves provide basic rhythm. Wildlife and playful activity remain poorly resolved, with ambiguous body construction and object contact. The sun glows without corresponding reflections or surface lighting. Fragmented subjects and an unintegrated rectangular panel substantially weaken composition and finish.

Raccoon

Different prompts

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash43.4/100

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Qwen3.5 9B14.7/100

Qwen3.5 9B: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

Bright colors, clean individual shapes and basic animal cues make the scene partly recognizable. Back seating, body continuity, steering and jet ski construction remain unresolved. Background gradients and wave rhythm provide some finish, but substantial anatomical, spatial and interaction weaknesses dominate.

Pelican

Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Qwen3.5 9B.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash76.0/100

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Qwen3.5 9B35.5/100

Qwen3.5 9B: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The oversized bill and orderly spoked wheels make the subject partly recognizable. Clean contours and strong color contrast provide graphic clarity, but unresolved appendages, steering, drivetrain and support dominate the construction. Sparse shading and detail further limit the illustration.
