The judgment

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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)

Visible panel shapes, curved sphere highlights, rounded side images and a lower continuation beneath the large left image establish recognizable local mirror structure. Their uneven arrangement, missing receding chains and absent nested imagery remain substantial shortcomings. The main sphere's framing is close, but black lacks projected separation and cyan does not establish recent apex contact.

The judgment

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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)

The expressive rabbits, lavender moon and diagonal ring create an appealing storybook composition with nearly all requested features. Glossy eyes and pearly highlights work well. The helmet leaves the towering ears unenclosed, the reaching arm has little joint definition, and the spread boots suggest hovering more clearly than pushing off. Repeated scalloped fur marks and broad gradients limit material depth; purple edge halos soften otherwise controlled silhouettes.

Space Bunny Alpha: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
29 Sep onwardResult details ↗

The judgment

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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)

The dark clothing, folded hands and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the broad frontal face, oversized head, explicit smile and simplified landscape. Arms connect coherently, but overlapping hands lack convincing finger construction. Soft gradients suggest volume and atmospheric depth; clothing folds and facial features remain schematic.

The judgment

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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)

A cheerful, coherent beach illustration with a strong sunset focal point, varied animals and readable small accessories. Connected flamingo legs and grounded foreground objects support the scene. Construction remains schematic, especially the airborne marine animal; its jump lacks clear water displacement. The sun reflection is effective but geometrically rigid, while shadows and material textures provide limited depth.

Different task instructions

The judgment

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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)

The raccoon clearly rides on the dog's back, and the dog's paws reach a connected steering assembly. Expressive faces, controlled outlines and layered mountains make an appealing illustration. The seated anatomy and hull geometry are simplified, while the sunset has little corresponding reflection or directional shading. Curved spray conveys motion, although several splash ribbons look decorative.

Space Bunny Alpha: Pelican SVG benchmark
29 Sep onwardResult details ↗

The judgment

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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)

The large pouched bill clearly identifies the pelican, and the balanced bicycle silhouette makes the action readable. Attached legs reach the crank area, but overlapping feet and crank lines leave pedal contact ambiguous. Consistent wheel scale, clean contours and a restrained coastal palette support an appealing composition. Lighting and surface treatment remain simple and mostly flat.
