DATASHEET
Full datasheets, every price and sourceInkling-Small ↗
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.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
Visible panel shapes, curved sphere highlights, rounded side images and a lower continuation beneath the large left image establish recognizable local mirror structure. Their uneven arrangement, missing receding chains and absent nested imagery remain substantial shortcomings. The main sphere's framing is close, but black lacks projected separation and cyan does not establish recent apex contact.

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.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
The expressive rabbits, lavender moon and diagonal ring create an appealing storybook composition with nearly all requested features. Glossy eyes and pearly highlights work well. The helmet leaves the towering ears unenclosed, the reaching arm has little joint definition, and the spread boots suggest hovering more clearly than pushing off. Repeated scalloped fur marks and broad gradients limit material depth; purple edge halos soften otherwise controlled silhouettes.

Character scenes test expression, anatomy, materials and coherent visual construction.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
An astronaut rabbit reaches for a carrot above a small moon while a younger companion peeks into view. The scene tests expressive characters, spatial relationships and material detail.
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.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
The dark clothing, folded hands and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the broad frontal face, oversized head, explicit smile and simplified landscape. Arms connect coherently, but overlapping hands lack convincing finger construction. Soft gradients suggest volume and atmospheric depth; clothing folds and facial features remain schematic.

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


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.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
A cheerful, coherent beach illustration with a strong sunset focal point, varied animals and readable small accessories. Connected flamingo legs and grounded foreground objects support the scene. Construction remains schematic, especially the airborne marine animal; its jump lacks clear water displacement. The sun reflection is effective but geometrically rigid, while shadows and material textures provide limited depth.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


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.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
The raccoon clearly rides on the dog's back, and the dog's paws reach a connected steering assembly. Expressive faces, controlled outlines and layered mountains make an appealing illustration. The seated anatomy and hull geometry are simplified, while the sunset has little corresponding reflection or directional shading. Curved spray conveys motion, although several splash ribbons look decorative.

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.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash (early version)
The large pouched bill clearly identifies the pelican, and the balanced bicycle silhouette makes the action readable. Attached legs reach the crank area, but overlapping feet and crank lines leave pedal contact ambiguous. Consistent wheel scale, clean contours and a restrained coastal palette support an appealing composition. Lighting and surface treatment remain simple and mostly flat.
