Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

Gemini 4 Argon
The central sphere, separate airborne black blob, flattened cyan contact and displaced crimson aftermath support the principal camera and physical-state requirements. Open lateral lanes and initial reflection placements provide partial optical structure, but missing outer chains, sparse nested imagery and incomplete emitter mappings remain substantial limitations. The raised crimson mass also weakens paint-scale fidelity.
MAI-Thinking-1
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.

Visual construction and creative interpretation.


Gemini 4 Argon
An appealing, controlled illustration with a distinctive buoyant silhouette, expressive comic face and rich luminous colour. The full composition and grounded slipper read clearly. The principal limitation is the crowded raised-foot interaction: paws, toes and lining overlap without making the bent leg or tight fit unmistakable.
MAI-Thinking-1
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.

Gemini 4 Argon
A luminous little dragon struggles with its bedtime slippers while a buoyant tail pulls it upward. The scene tests expressive anatomy, physical contact and the contrast between translucent forms and heavy objects.
MAI-Thinking-1
A fluffy moth tends a lantern greenhouse amid a gardening mishap. The scene tests insect anatomy, expressive action, translucent wings and the interaction of light with small objects.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Gemini 4 Argon
A coherent, moderately complex Mona Lisa reconstruction with substantial portrait volume, articulated clothing and landscape recession. Specific source features support replication beyond recognition alone. Altered facial likeness, uncertain crossed-hand anatomy and pervasive colored crackle keep the result uneven despite its developed shading and detail.
MAI-Thinking-1
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.

An SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa tests facial likeness, anatomy and the composition of a familiar portrait.
Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


Gemini 4 Argon
A strong decorative beach illustration with controlled color, intricate silhouettes and abundant playful detail. Connected dolphin forms and recognizable equipment support its construction, while the aligned sunset reflection anchors the scene. Compressed wave depth, ambiguous foreground support and uneven reflection specificity limit physical coherence. The saved comparisons support retaining the category assessments.
MAI-Thinking-1
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.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


Gemini 4 Argon
An accomplished illustration with expressive characters, intricate spray and strong depth. Direct back seating, steering connections and hull-water contact are only partly demonstrated. Clean graphic execution and purposeful detail remain strengths, while shadows and reflections provide limited physical grounding.
MAI-Thinking-1
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.

A jet-ski scene pairs a canine driver with a raccoon passenger. It tests the placement and contact of interacting subjects, along with vehicle construction.
Subject construction and spatial relationships.


Gemini 4 Argon
An expressive, detailed illustration with controlled gradients and coherent environmental depth. Continuous body contours and connected bicycle components establish competent construction. Steering grip and pedal engagement remain less explicit than the decorative details and wheel placement. These contact uncertainties limit action and placement credit without establishing broken anatomy.
MAI-Thinking-1
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.
