GPT-6 Astra scores 50.0 points higher overall (70.5 vs 20.5). GPT-6 Astra scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in reflections.
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.
Major placement and the visible contact sequence are convincing. Dense planar light repetition, recognizable spherical panel images and simplified nested sphere motifs provide useful optical structure. Missing outer chains, truncated distant sequences and incorrect bead-like belts still leave the recursive reflections substantially incomplete.

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.
The sixfold silhouette, pale coloring, outward heads and central hexagon closely match the brief. Fine scales and soft shading support rounded volume. However, several crossings have conspicuous rectangular seams and weak contact shadows, making the weave feel assembled. Small heads have limited anatomical definition, and the repetitive texture conveys less organic life than requested.
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 crossed hands, restrained smile, dark clothing and hazy landscape clearly recall the Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the frontal, elongated face, schematic eyes and stiff fingers. Soft shading gives basic volume, but broad garment shapes and angular scenery lack the original’s nuanced depth and painterly transitions. The frame and composition are controlled; surface grain adds texture without resolving the simplified drawing.
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
A richly composed sunset beach illustration with cohesive peach, mauve and teal colors. Sweeping palm fronds, a scalloped umbrella and curved shorelines frame the sun and its aligned reflection. Distinct animal silhouettes and carefully distributed beach details reward inspection. Simplified human and dog anatomy, slight dolphin splash cues and inconsistent equipment shadows limit physical conviction.

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.

Generate an SVG: A raccoon sits on a dog's back while the dog steers a jet ski
Expressive animals, a balanced sunset composition and sweeping wake make an appealing illustration. The raccoon rides the dog's back, and the dog's connected foreleg reaches the controls. The compact steering assembly and layered paws are less clearly constructed. Lighting remains mostly flat, with little shadow or sun reflection. Clean contours and purposeful details support strong illustrative execution.

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 pelican's long bill, flowing scarf and warm coastal palette create a charming, balanced illustration. Wheels, spokes and frame are largely coherent, but neither wing reaches the handlebars, and the rear leg's pedal contact is unclear. Flat lighting and simplified surfaces limit depth despite clean outlines and attractive feather detail.
