GPT 5.6 Terra scores 22.9 points higher overall (43.4 vs 20.5). GPT 5.6 Terra 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 real sphere and airborne black blob are substantially too low in the complete frame after accounting for aspect ratio.
The first wall and floor reflections have incompatible placement, relative size or silhouette.
Both lateral regions lack the references' receding lane-and-chain organization.
The few recognizable mirror images provide limited optical structure. The main, side and floor spheres replace nested mirror imagery with smooth bands, while sparse planar light patches and broad spherical highlights fail to establish coherent repeated emitter mapping.

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 ivory heads and rounded lobes create a striking radial emblem around a clear hexagonal opening. Soft shading gives the bodies volume, but abrupt rectangular and diagonal band endings make the continuous alternating weave ambiguous. Repetitive scale lines and simplified faces convey an ornamental serpent more convincingly than living anatomy.
Benchmark task
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 dark clothing, central portrait and restrained smile evoke the Mona Lisa, but replication is limited by the broad face, elongated neck, nearly frontal pose and indistinct landscape. Soft gradients give the face some volume. Crossed arms become rounded masses without readable fingers or wrists, and the expression lacks the original's subtlety. Clean framing and curves support an otherwise basic, uneven portrait.
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.
Benchmark task
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
Warm sunset gradients, framing palms and colorful beach activities create an appealing scene. Animals, birds and a sun reflection fulfill the brief. The dog and turtle remain schematic, foreground depth is shallow, and the reflection forms rigid bands. Clean silhouettes and readable accessories support a competent illustration, but limited anatomy, material variation and lighting keep it below exceptional.

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
Expressive faces, a recognizable raccoon perched on the dog, and a sweeping wake make an appealing cartoon. The principal weakness is the steering interaction: the dog's paw sits beside the control assembly without a convincing handlebar grip. Bold outlines and coherent layering provide polish, while simplified shading, compressed seating geometry and angular splashes limit depth and physical credibility.

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, expressive eye and balanced twilight palette make the cyclist immediately readable. Clean contours and wheel details support the illustration, but the rabbit-like head tufts weaken pelican likeness. The wing does not clearly grip the handlebar, pedal contact is uneven, and the drivetrain is incomplete. Lighting remains mostly decorative.
