GPT 5.520.8/100

GPT 5.5: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Pixel Canary: Newton's Mirror SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The principal sphere placement and paint contact sequence are supported. Isolated sphere and panel images provide limited optical structure, but missing lateral chains and side-floor continuations prevent a coherent repeating mirror room. The main and reflected spheres lack ordered curved nested imagery, while sparse planar emitter images and incomplete spherical emitter mapping leave most of the reflection system unsupported.

Selfie

Different prompts

GPT 5.542.8/100

GPT 5.5: Selfie SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Pixel Canary76.5/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG self-portrait: a round golden voxel canary placing a cyan block into a miniature control panel.
Researcher observations

The cheerful yellow bird, cream eyes, orange features and miniature teal console closely match the brief. Clean block edges, restrained colors and soft shadows create an appealing composition. The body reads more like a gridded disc than a fully cubic sphere, and the outlined left wing has limited volume. The right wing reaches the cyan block, though its grip is ambiguous.

Beach

Different prompts

GPT 5.563.3/100

GPT 5.5: Beach SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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 remains basic, especially the round-eared foreground figure's unclear torso and limbs. The dolphin lacks a convincing splash, and broad reflection bands suggest sunset light without resolving its behavior on water.

Pixel Canary75.0/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG beach sunset with dolphins, birds, a kite, beachgoers, a crab, a turtle, a sandcastle and reflections in the water.
Researcher observations

A coherent sunset beach illustration with lively wildlife, play, and a strong warm-to-purple palette. The sun and its reflection establish a clear focal point. Small figures and dolphins have simplified, sometimes ambiguous construction; dark branching forms beneath the right horizon lack clear counterparts above. Clean decorative shapes succeed more consistently than convincing anatomy, materials, or reflected geometry.

Mona Lisa

Different prompts

GPT 5.552.5/100

GPT 5.5: Mona Lisa SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

The dark veil, restrained smile, crossed hands and muted landscape establish Mona Lisa references. Replication is limited by the oversized frontal face, simplified eyes and hands drawn as overlapping tapered shapes without fingers. Clean contours and a balanced frame support the composition, but broad landscape bands, sparse garment detail and shallow shading leave the portrait basic rather than masterful.

Pixel Canary51.0/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa, with soft painted shading and the complete ornate gold frame.
Researcher observations

The framed portrait recalls Mona Lisa through dark hair, folded arms and a hazy landscape. Replication is limited by wide, staring eyes, an elongated neck and a downturned mouth. The overlapping hands lack convincing finger and wrist construction. Soft tonal shading suggests volume, but pervasive blur obscures clothing, landscape and anatomical detail.

Raccoon

Different prompts

GPT 5.556.0/100

GPT 5.5: Raccoon SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Pixel Canary77.3/100

Pixel Canary’s SVG of a raccoon holding a drink on a goggle-wearing dog’s back as the dog steers a jet ski across the sea.
Researcher observations

The raccoon clearly rides the dog's back, and the dog's paws reach the jet ski controls. Expressive faces, a sweeping tail and a strong sunset composition give the illustration character. Limbs remain connected, but the dog's foreleg joints and vehicle seating are loosely constructed. Angular splashes convey speed more successfully than convincing water displacement; lighting and reflections remain decorative.

Pelican

Outside General and Visual Intelligence.

GPT 5.564.3/100

GPT 5.5: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

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.

Pixel Canary: Pelican SVG benchmark
Researcher observations

An appealing cartoon with a distinctive pelican, expressive eye, warm bill and carefully drawn bicycle wheels. The wing reaches the handlebar, but the feet do not clearly engage the pedals, weakening the riding mechanics. Layered hills create depth; limited ground shadows weaken contact. Clean curves and purposeful feather details give the illustration polish.
