Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

GPT-6 Astra
Major placement and the visible contact sequence are convincing. Dense planar light repetition, recognizable spherical panel images and simplified nested sphere motifs provide useful optical structure. Missing outer chains, truncated distant sequences and incorrect bead-like belts still leave the recursive reflections substantially incomplete.
Step 5 Preview
The main sphere, airborne black and small colored features occupy broadly appropriate positions. Most of the defining mirror system is absent, and paint interaction remains only partially supported. The small paint features do not visibly establish a separate volume-scale violation.

A spinning metal sphere and paint in a mirrored room test physical reasoning, perspective and consistency across repeated reflections.
Visual construction and creative interpretation.


GPT-6 Astra
The sixfold silhouette, pale coloring, outward heads and central hexagon closely match the brief. Fine scales and soft shading support rounded volume. However, several crossings have conspicuous rectangular seams and weak contact shadows, making the weave feel assembled. Small heads have limited anatomical definition, and the repetitive texture conveys less organic life than requested.
Step 5 Preview
A charming diagonal climber and warm palette communicate the central idea. Simple rounded construction, crowded limb counting, uncertain footholds and an unattached upper shelf limit its physical coherence. Growth bands and the yarn trail add specificity, but the requested material distinctions and unravelled bootie remain underdeveloped.

Character scenes test expression, anatomy, materials and coherent visual construction.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


GPT-6 Astra
The crossed hands, restrained smile, dark clothing and hazy landscape clearly recall the Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the frontal, elongated face, schematic eyes and stiff fingers. Soft shading gives basic volume, but broad garment shapes and angular scenery lack the original’s nuanced depth and painterly transitions. The frame and composition are controlled; surface grain adds texture without resolving the simplified drawing.
Step 5 Preview
A recognizable, coherent simplification with purposeful facial contours and differentiated fingers. These provide more construction and detail than the broad silhouette alone suggests. The oversized face, frontal seated pose, unresolved wrists and sparse landscape still substantially limit likeness, depth and finish.

An SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa tests facial likeness, anatomy and the composition of a familiar portrait.
Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


GPT-6 Astra
A richly composed sunset beach illustration with cohesive peach, mauve and teal colors. Sweeping palm fronds, a scalloped umbrella and curved shorelines frame the sun and its aligned reflection. Distinct animal silhouettes and carefully distributed beach details reward inspection. Simplified human and dog anatomy, slight dolphin splash cues and inconsistent equipment shadows limit physical conviction.
Step 5 Preview
A recognizable sunset beach with clear warm-cool contrast and playful accessories. Basic animal construction, shallow foreground placement and schematic reflections limit spatial and physical credibility. Sparse descriptive detail and abruptly ended sky bands constrain the finish.

A plank, computer mouse and blueberry in a steel room test physical stability, spatial relationships, materials and lighting.
Scene composition and interacting subjects.


GPT-6 Astra
Expressive animals, a balanced sunset composition and sweeping wake make an appealing illustration. The raccoon rides the dog's back, and the dog's connected foreleg reaches the controls. The compact steering assembly and layered paws are less clearly constructed. Lighting remains mostly flat, with little shadow or sun reflection. Clean contours and purposeful details support strong illustrative execution.
Step 5 Preview
Recognizable animals, a bright palette and identifying accessories support a basic cartoon. Primitive anatomy, partial seated support, unresolved steering and weak hull-water contact limit the central action. Lighting and spray provide atmosphere without establishing convincing physical depth.

A jet-ski scene pairs a canine driver with a raccoon passenger. It tests the placement and contact of interacting subjects, along with vehicle construction.
Subject construction and spatial relationships.


GPT-6 Astra
The pelican's long bill, flowing scarf and warm coastal palette create a charming, balanced illustration. Wheels, spokes and frame are largely coherent, but neither wing reaches the handlebars, and the rear leg's pedal contact is unclear. Flat lighting and simplified surfaces limit depth despite clean outlines and attractive feather detail.
Step 5 Preview
The pelican and bicycle are recognizable, with a pleasant palette and basic diffuse shading. The riding relationship fails physically: the bird is unsupported, the front wheel is unmounted, and pedalling is unresolved. Simple geometric construction and sparse material treatment further limit the drawing.
