GPT 5.5 scores 11.5 points higher overall (32.0 vs 20.5). GPT 5.5 scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in state at 600 ms.
Separate airborne black and contact-compatible paint flattening earn partial state credit. Settlement, adhesion and differentiated paint transport remain unresolved. The enlarged, low sphere and thin lamp strip substantially depart from the required camera, while the defining mirror structure is missing. Weak material appearance and oversized black paint limit material credit. The retained base total is 18/170; the floor-damage reward is 0, giving 18/180.
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.
The paint ordering and separate black bead support part of the physical state, but adhesion and rotational transport remain only partly established. The sweeping cyan arc and long crimson lobes do not clearly communicate the limited time since their respective impacts. The main sphere is too large and too low, and the black bead is below its required projected position. Displaced isolated sphere images, a flattened floor echo and missing recursive, nested and emitter reflections provide little coherent optical structure. The colored paint is excessively bulky for the specified quantities.

An appealing, readable sparkle-creature with luminous colour and expressive eyes. Simple geometric construction limits sophistication, while sharp body points, ambiguous hand contact and a minimally resolved jar weaken the requested soft, plump character and treasure-presenting pose.
Six pale, scaled lobes form a balanced radial arrangement, but they remain separate capsules rather than an interlocking serpent knot. There are no crossings, alternating overlaps, or crisp inner bends; the central hexagon is an isolated outline. Small outward-facing heads sit within the lobes without integrated necks. Soft shading and tidy contours provide some finish, while repetitive oval scales and cartoon faces limit organic credibility.

Draw a pale six-headed snake woven into a symmetrical knot. Its body passes over and under itself around a small hexagonal opening, with six little heads facing outward. Add lifelike scales, curved muscles and shadows without losing the clear knot shape.
The centered dark-haired portrait provides a loose reference cue, but its elongated, nearly featureless face and undifferentiated torso fall far short of replication. Crossed hands, the subtle smile, clothing structure and landscape are unresolved. Clean silhouettes and soft gradients provide limited coherence.
The veil, restrained smile, crossed hands and muted landscape establish Mona Lisa references. The oversized frontal face and schematic features weaken likeness and expression, while fingerless tapered hand shapes leave anatomy unresolved. Clean contours and balanced framing provide coherence, but sparse garment detail, broad landscape bands and shallow shading limit the portrait's sophistication.
A clean, balanced sunset scene demonstrates the beach, birds and a centered reflection. Animals and play receive only minimal treatment. Coherent layers and controlled gradients support readability, but unresolved aquatic anatomy, sparse details and weak surface modeling keep the drawing basic.

Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
The sunset, palms, birds, playful animals and ball clearly establish the requested beach scene. Warm sky gradients and clean silhouettes make it appealing. Animal construction is underdeveloped: torso and limb connections are unclear, especially in the round-eared foreground figure. The dolphin lacks a convincing splash, and broad reflection bands suggest sunset light without resolving its behavior on water.

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.

The animal stack is recognizable, and clean silhouettes support a basic illustration. Steering is not depicted, while the craft's construction and water contact remain unresolved. Sparse anatomical and material detail limit the finish. The sky gradient and glow provide atmospheric lighting, but the subjects lack corresponding modeling.
Benchmark task
Generate an SVG: A raccoon sits on a dog's back while the dog steers a jet ski
The raccoon's masked face, bright hull and sweeping wake make the scene readable and lively. The dog is much less resolved: its head is ambiguous, overlapping brown forms obscure its anatomy, and its paws do not visibly grip the controls. Smooth shapes and cheerful colors provide appeal, but weak steering construction and limited depth keep the drawing uneven.

A clean, balanced icon suggests a pelican riding a bicycle. Continuous contours and restrained colors support its finish, but the abbreviated bill, undifferentiated body, unresolved riding contacts and incomplete bicycle mechanism limit likeness and construction. Sparse detail and flat lighting keep the drawing basic despite its clarity.
The oversized bill, bright bicycle and sunset create an appealing, recognizable cartoon. Riding mechanics are less convincing: the wing has no clear steering contact, leg attachments are uneven, and feet do not visibly engage pedals. A dark notch complicates the rear neck junction. Clean contours and orderly spokes provide polish, while simplified anatomy and lighting limit depth.
