Ling 3.1 Flash scores 3.7 points higher overall (42.6 vs 38.9). Ling 3.1 Flash leads General Intelligence; GPT 5.6 Luna leads Visual Intelligence. Ling 3.1 Flash scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in reflections.
The room enclosure has coherent symmetric perspective, with the overhead panel, sphere and black aligned centrally. The sphere and airborne black occupy substantially lower positions than the reference framing, inconsistent with the prescribed camera aim. The diagonal crimson streak does not establish the required surface transport. Faint wall sphere images provide limited mirrored correspondence, but the shallow floor image, missing receding chains, absent nested sphere imagery and sparse emitter mapping leave most reflection structure unsupported.
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.
The exact prompt is held back to prevent benchmaxxing.
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.

Six pale, outward-facing heads and six rounded lobes make the knot recognizable. The central hexagonal opening remains clear. However, broad gray crossing panels flatten the weave, several inner joins resemble capped strips, and sparse oversized scale marks leave the bodies looking more like decorated ribbons than living snakes.
Simplified prompt
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.

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.

The central portrait, dark clothing, crossed hands and muted landscape clearly evoke Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the elongated face, conspicuous eyes and simplified smile. Overlapping fingers have uncertain anatomy, while broad gradients and heavy outlines flatten the portrait. The composition and restrained palette remain coherent.
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.

The warm sunset, palm silhouette and varied beach activities create an appealing, readable composition. Animals, birds and a broad sun reflection satisfy the brief. Drawing remains elementary: angular airborne sea animals lack splash or convincing motion, the crab's claws are awkwardly constructed, and repeated reflection bands suggest a stepped platform. Clean outlines and pleasant colors exceed the anatomical and spatial sophistication.
Exact prompt
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
Make it a masterpiece, no tools allowed
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.

Expressive animals, a striped tail and clean outlines make the scene appealing and readable. The raccoon sits convincingly on the dog's back, but the overlapping steering paws are ambiguous and the control stem stops above the hull. Broad wake shapes suggest motion; the glowing sun lacks a corresponding water reflection.

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 GPT 5.6 Luna and Ling 3.1 Flash.
A recognizable pelican cyclist with an expressive profile, balanced composition and controlled outlines. Head, neck and torso connect coherently. The bicycle wheels and frame are convincing, but overlapping feet obscure pedal contact, the drivetrain lacks a clear chain, and the wing's handlebar grip is schematic. Atmospheric color succeeds more strongly than directional lighting or material depth.
Exact prompt
Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle

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.
