Gemini 3.8 Flash30.3/100

Gemini 3.8 Flash: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

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.

Mai Thinking 115.7/100

Mai Thinking 1: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The small paint features and convex shading deserve moderate material credit. The sphere remains undersized and low, with black unusually close to its apex. Crimson and cyan do not establish the required impact histories. Faint reflected echoes supply limited optical evidence, while the defining recursive room, nested sphere and emitter structures remain unestablished.

Selfie

Different prompts

Gemini 3.8 Flash77.0/100

Gemini 3.8 Flash: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Benchmark task

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.

Mai Thinking 146.3/100

Mai Thinking 1: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable lantern-and-moth illustration with appealing coloured wings and tidy outer contours. Simple construction, a small focal subject and crowded overlaps limit character and depth. The face, six-leg anatomy, seedling and antenna-driven watering joke remain insufficiently readable.

Mona Lisa

Different prompts

Gemini 3.8 Flash29.8/100

Gemini 3.8 Flash: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Benchmark task

Mai Thinking 111.8/100

Mai Thinking 1: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable Mona Lisa motif emerges from dark hair, a pale face and a landscape band. Replication remains weak: the oversized frontal head, broad smile, unresolved torso and missing crossed-hand anatomy diverge substantially from the reference. Simple fills and sparse strokes provide limited volume, material definition or painterly complexity.

Beach

Different prompts

Gemini 3.8 Flash75.1/100

Gemini 3.8 Flash: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A vivid purple-and-gold sunset anchors an appealing beach composition with dolphins, birds, a turtle and playful accessories. Palm silhouettes frame the bright reflection effectively. Sparse animal anatomy, wirelike palm foliage, conspicuously regular reflection bands and limited surface texture keep the execution below exceptional.

Benchmark task

Mai Thinking 144.2/100

Mai Thinking 1: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A coherent, cheerful beach scene with balanced placement, clean shapes and controlled sunset colours. Animals, birds and playful accessories are recognizable, but basic dolphin construction, weak grounding, schematic reflections and sparse material detail limit the drawing's accomplishment.

Benchmark task

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.

Raccoon

Different prompts

Gemini 3.8 Flash68.4/100

Gemini 3.8 Flash: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Benchmark task

Generate an SVG: A raccoon sits on a dog's back while the dog steers a jet ski

Mai Thinking 137.3/100

Mai Thinking 1: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The recognizable raccoon and clean, shaded forms make a readable cartoon. The dog's steering remains undemonstrated, while ambiguous seating contacts and a minimally constructed craft weaken the central interaction. Controlled gradients and edges deserve credit, but anatomy, purposeful detail and water displacement remain basic.

Pelican

Different prompts

Gemini 3.8 Flash78.8/100

Gemini 3.8 Flash: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Benchmark task

Mai Thinking 156.5/100

Mai Thinking 1: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

A recognizable pelican and bicycle combine clean rounded forms, expressive facial details and effective surface shading. Aligned wheels and soft shadows establish placement, but unresolved pedal engagement, absent steering contact and sparse drivetrain construction weaken the riding action. Limited feather complexity and shallow space constrain an otherwise appealing illustration.
