Gemini 3.8 Flash scores 33.1 points higher overall (46.1 vs 13.0). Gemini 3.8 Flash scores higher on Beach, with its largest category advantage in anatomy & construction.
Crimson is carried well down the camera-facing surface, supporting its earlier interaction. The depiction remains highly simplified, with imperfect material rendering. Isolated wall and floor images and a few highlights provide scant reflective evidence; displaced first reflections, missing receding chains and absent nested sphere and emitter imagery leave the room's optical structure largely unsupported.
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.

A segmented gray perimeter surrounds a black field containing one large, low-positioned gray sphere and two small colored circles. Rounded volume and restrained paint scale earn partial material credit. The image does not demonstrate the required optical structure, while paint history, airborne black and settled support remain largely unresolved.

The dominant four-point silhouette, luminous color progression, raised brows and enormous grin closely fulfill the brief. Attached, secondary limbs support the exuberant expression. Clean facial drawing and glossy eyes give strong character, while shallow depth, minimally articulated extremities and visible steps in the outer glow limit refinement.
Simplified prompt
Draw a glowing four-point star creature with big eyes and an exaggerated grin. Blend blue, purple and pink across its body and add a few tiny sparkles. Keep its star shape easy to recognize.

A restrained ivory, teal and green palette gives the image simple graphic coherence. Execution remains rudimentary: detached oval wings, ambiguous central anatomy and unclear feeding contact prevent a convincing hummingbird scene. The requested feather structure, botanical detail, lighting and enclosing arch are largely unresolved.

The dark clothing, overlapping hands and hazy landscape make the Mona Lisa reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the frontal, elongated face, heavy mouth and chin, and poorly resolved hands, wrists and forearm. Soft shading gives some volume, but muddy transitions, blunt landscape shapes and rigid facial modeling weaken the portrait’s expression and painterly character.
Exact prompt
Replicate mona-lisa as SVG
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
The candidate offers a clean, highly simplified frontal portrait with warm skin and dark hair. Its oversized oval face, schematic features and unresolved body provide little Mona Lisa likeness. Missing crossed hands, clothing detail and landscape remove essential parts of the original composition; smooth gradients supply only limited volume.

A recognizable sunset beach has an appealing purple-orange gradient and clean geometric edges. Birds and animals remain unresolved, terrain obscures the relationship between shore and water, and reflections are absent. Sparse detail, flat materials and limited activity keep the drawing elementary despite its tidy rendering.
Exact prompt
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections

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.

Expressive animals, a bold diagonal hull and sweeping spray create an appealing action scene. The raccoon's support on the dog's back is unclear, and the dog lacks a readable paw-to-control grip and connected steering assembly. Clean graphic shapes and lively accessories are stronger than the anatomical construction. Sunset illumination and reflections remain largely decorative.
Exact prompt

Clean shapes and a readable coral platform provide basic graphic clarity, but the animal construction remains fragmented. A recognizable raccoon riding the dog's back, connected steering and convincing water contact are not demonstrated. Sparse detail, flat subjects and absent movement effects support retaining the baseline category assessments.

Pelican
Benchmax control
Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for Gemini 3.8 Flash and Kolibri 1.
The pelican’s enormous bill, lively feathers and orange bicycle create a clear, appealing composition. Basket contents, spokes and facial details reward inspection. Both legs connect to the body, but foot-to-pedal placement and wing-to-handlebar contact are ambiguous. Bicycle mechanics and lighting remain schematic, limiting an otherwise polished illustration.

Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
Clean shapes and aligned wheels establish a readable schematic scene. Pelican likeness, riding support and bicycle mechanics remain substantially unresolved. Sparse detail and flat surfaces limit expression and volume. Strong edge and fill integrity is a separate success and does not repair the construction.
