GPT 5.6 Terra scores 0.7 points higher overall (43.3 vs 42.6). Ling 3.1 Flash leads General Intelligence; GPT 5.6 Terra leads Visual Intelligence. Ling 3.1 Flash scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in reflections.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
Exact prompt
Replicate mona-lisa as SVG

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.

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.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.
