GPT 5.6 Terra scores 10.0 points higher overall (43.3 vs 33.3). GPT 5.6 Terra scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in state at 600 ms.
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.

The artwork depicts a shaded sphere, distinct paint colors and a separate airborne black blob. Crimson's apex overlap does not establish its earlier interaction and transport, while cyan's recent contact remains unsupported. Horizontal centering supplies limited camera agreement, but the sphere, black blob and prominent panel have substantial placement or projection departures. A few planar echoes provide reflection evidence; isolated patches and gradients replace most of the required mirror structure.

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 decorative illustration with coordinated ornament, flowing panels and three glowing orbital lights. The arm arrangement reverses the requested sides. Uncertain neck continuity, concealed leg articulation, simplified paws, crowded chest jewelry and shallow surface modeling limit pose clarity and finish.
Simplified prompt
Draw a friendly capybara floating in ornate green and white robes. A glowing halo and small floating orbs surround it, giving it the feel of a gentle fantasy guide.

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.

The portrait loosely evokes Mona Lisa through its palette and silhouette. Readable pupils, brows and lips provide limited detail, and the torso remains continuous. The frontal elongated face, unresolved chest-level limb forms, shallow landscape and pervasive blur substantially weaken likeness, anatomy and finish.

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

A recognizable sunset beach with balanced palms, clean shapes and effective warm–cool contrast. Small animals and play equipment address the brief, but rudimentary anatomy, uncertain water contacts, sparse reflections and flat materials keep the drawing basic or uneven.

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.

A readable cartoon with balanced colors, clean shapes and a clearly supported raccoon. Continuous body construction and modest shading deserve credit. Rudimentary limbs, unresolved steering connections, stiff gestures and schematic water effects limit physical credibility and finish.

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 lively, coherent illustration with recognizable pelican features, purposeful accessories and useful surface variation. Ambiguous neck layering, uncertain pedal engagement and an unresolved drivetrain limit construction. Aligned wheels and layered scenery establish placement, while inconsistent shadow direction and crowded overlaps constrain finish.
