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.

Inkling-Small
The sphere's apparent floor support, separate dark feature and broad paint ordering justify partial state credit. The major weakness is the largely missing mirror system: isolated side images and faint floor echoes do not establish repeated virtual rooms or curved spherical mapping. Downward framing, the oversized frontal panel, unresolved paint transport and satin surface appearance remain distinct limitations.
Qwen3.8-27B
The room fills the complete 16:9 frame without visible borders or labels. Central placement fits the wider frame, and the paint colors follow the expected vertical order. Bilateral side images, diminishing echoes and an overlapping floor image provide limited mirror depth. Broad sphere surfaces lack ordered nested room imagery, while planar panel sequences and outer chains remain missing or unresolved. Soft highlights do not establish emitter mapping, while paint attachment and transport history are only partly supported.

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


Inkling-Small
The faces and dripping caps communicate a cute mushroom scene, but simple construction and weak spatial relationships limit the result. The defining foot-stamping action is unresolved, the flattering portrait is smaller than its painter, and the requested material contrasts are only partly conveyed.
Qwen3.8-27B
A cohesive emerald-and-gold illustration with a gentle expression, flowing robes, luminous halo and three clearly ringed orbs. Limbs remain connected, and the asymmetric legs communicate floating. The rounded face reads somewhat bear-like; the raised palm faces outward rather than upward, and chest-hand fingers are crowded. Clean ornamentation exceeds the comparatively simple anatomical modeling and shading.

Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Inkling-Small
A recognizable but rudimentary Mona Lisa interpretation. Facial shading and subdued colors provide coherence, while the frontal blocklike torso, unresolved wrists, fingerless hands and shallow landscape substantially limit likeness, construction and finish.
Qwen3.8-27B
The centered portrait, dark clothing and overlapping hands evoke the Mona Lisa, but replication is weak. The face is excessively elongated, the eyes stare broadly, and the hands reduce to rounded masses with shallow finger marks. Soft shading creates some volume, while the landscape remains indistinct. The precise gold frame is more resolved than the portrait.

Inkling-Small
A recognizable sunset beach with a clear focal sun and appealing color transitions. Connected fish silhouettes and layered scenery establish basic coherence. Primitive figures, ambiguous recreation, sparse descriptive detail and weak grounding limit construction and depth. The aligned reflection supplies a useful lighting cue, but shadows and material effects remain underdeveloped.
Qwen3.8-27B
The sweeping palm, glowing sunset and purple-to-orange palette create an appealing beach composition. Birds, animals and reflections fulfill the brief, with clean silhouettes and readable small accents. Schematic anatomy, repetitive shoreline geometry and limited perspective integration constrain depth. Foreground lighting and uniform reflection bars provide atmosphere but little physical coherence.

Inkling-Small
Recognizable animals, readable accessories and an appealing sunset support a coherent basic cartoon. Rounded construction leaves joints, riding support and steering unresolved. Decorative gradients contribute atmosphere, but directional lighting, distinct materials and convincing water displacement are weakly demonstrated.
Qwen3.8-27B
The raccoon clearly rides on the dog's back, and the dog reaches the jet ski's steering grip. Cheerful expressions, a bright palette and sweeping wake make the action readable. Anatomy and machinery remain simplified, with overlapping paws and limited seat definition. Flat lighting, sparse surface detail and broad white splash shapes limit depth and finish. A clipped gray fragment interrupts the upper-left corner.

Subject construction and spatial relationships.


Inkling-Small
The pelican is immediately recognizable, and its sweeping neck, shaped bill and orderly spokes provide character. Riding remains only partially realized: legs, pedal engagement, steering and seat support cannot be read confidently. Controlled graphic effects add atmosphere, but simplified construction and weak grounding keep the result basic.
Qwen3.8-27B
The pelican’s oversized bill, straw hat and flowing scarf create a distinctive focal character against a well-composed coastal sunset. Wheels and frame are readable, but the wings do not reach the steering, overlapping legs obscure separate pedal contacts, and the crank linkage is unclear. Clean vector shapes and restrained shading support an appealing illustration with limited physical depth.
