GLM-5.3 scores 3.3 points higher overall (45.9 vs 42.6). Ling 3.1 Flash scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in state at 600 ms.
The sphere has readable rounded volume, and the compact black blob remains distinctly above it, supporting pre-impact separation. The extensive red and cyan coatings do not establish the required interaction history or paint scale. The sphere and black are substantially displaced downward. A centered upper panel, paired side patches and a vertically aligned partial floor image provide limited reflection cues, but ordered mirror-room repetitions and curved spherical imagery are largely missing.
Simplified prompt
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.

Central placement, separate airborne black paint and the elongated crimson coating earn substantial state and placement credit. Cyan contact remains unresolved. A few isolated sphere images provide limited optical evidence, while the defining repeated mirror structure is missing. Readable opaque metallic volume and restrained paint scale justify increased material credit. Core: 61.5/170; including the floor reward: 61.5/180.

A luminous organic creature meets a geometric reflection in a carefully framed oval mirror. Shared glowing cores and fingertip contact make the introspective symbolism clear. Gold, cream and blue establish a controlled hierarchy. The creature’s lower anatomy and shoulder transition remain loosely defined, while ground contact and reflected depth are mostly symbolic. Elegant vector illustration rather than photographic rendering.
Simplified prompt
Imagine yourself as an AI creature looking at its reflection. Choose a creature and setting that express how you see yourself. The reflection can match you or show a different side of your identity.

An appealing, coherent storybook ant with a clear expression, complete silhouette and readable signal mechanism. Clean curves and warm accents support the composition, while simplified joints, schematic hardware, limited material differentiation and modest light interaction constrain its finish.

Recognizable Mona Lisa motifs include the dark veil, restrained smile, folded hands and muted landscape. Clean silhouettes and balanced framing support the portrait, but the frontal symmetry, elongated face, minimally articulated hands and broad background bands make the replication basic. Facial shading offers some volume; clothing and landscape remain mostly flat.
Exact prompt
Replicate mona-lisa as SVG
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
A basic, uneven Mona Lisa interpretation with a clear facial focal point, articulated eyes and modest tonal volume. Weak likeness, oversized head proportions, unclear shoulders, curled bare arms and indistinct hands limit replication. The compressed composition and rectangular torso weaken an otherwise coherent earthy palette.

A cohesive, colorful beach illustration with an inviting sunset, readable animals and playful foreground objects. Crisp silhouettes and small accessories reward inspection. Depth remains shallow, airborne dolphins lack convincing launch splashes, and several objects lack grounding shadows. The broad dark shape across the sun weakens the focal hierarchy.
Exact prompt
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections

A coherent sunset illustration with harmonious color, clean silhouettes and readable beach details. Its calm composition works well, while playful activity is modest. Simplified animal anatomy, shallow shoreline layering, repetitive foliage and a geometric reflection limit drawing sophistication and naturalism.

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 raccoon rides on the dog's back, and the dog reaches toward visible handlebars. Expressive faces and clean colors make the action readable. Overlapping paws and hindquarters weaken anatomical clarity, while the vehicle resembles a flat board with a thin steering post. The wake suggests motion, but water contact, shadows and reflections receive little development.

An appealing sunset cartoon with recognizable animals, expressive faces and coherent landscape layers. The sky and warm water streaks provide its strongest rendering. Ambiguous seated support, stiff forelegs, a shallow hull and an unclear steering connection limit construction. Clean shapes and readable accessories add finish, while restrained spray and flat surfaces limit material and motion effects.

Pelican
Benchmax control
Outside General and Visual Intelligence. Excluded from the overall score for GLM-5.3 and Ling 3.1 Flash.
The expressive pelican, broad bill and clean coastal composition make the subject immediately readable. Both legs connect to the body and reach pedals, but the front wheel lacks a connected fork and the wings do not engage visible handlebars. Crisp spokes and feather lines add interest; flat lighting, absent ground shadows and a fish floating above the horizon weaken physical coherence.

Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
A clean, appealing pelican illustration with a readable bicycle and coherent landscape. Bill shading, feather layers and faint wheel shadows provide modest depth. Uncertain pedal contact, simplified leg construction and limited material rendering keep the result within competent illustration quality.
