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.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash
The sphere placement, separate airborne black blob, recent cyan contact and elongated crimson aftermath support the required gross physical state. The reflection system remains severely incomplete: isolated side images, broad metallic bands and sparse light patches replace extensive mirror repetitions and curved nested imagery.
Mistral Large 4
The central sphere, airborne black and deformed crimson support substantial state and placement credit. Recent cyan contact and crimson transport remain uncertain. Sparse wall patches and glossy gradients provide little evidence of the required extensive mirror system, while the missing centerline lamp and bulky crimson remain visible weaknesses.

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


MiniMax M3.1 Flash
The sculptural M, confident grin and miniature theatrical pose closely fulfill the brief. Controlled gradients and clean shapes give the character volume and appeal. Moderate drawing complexity, an apparently separated shoe and ambiguous grounding limit the finish.
Mistral Large 4
An appealing, coherent illustration whose enormous rounded cat anchors the windblown composition. Warm shading and floating sketches communicate the brief well. Simplified paws, faint ear construction, inconsistent wind cues and limited material texture keep the execution below exceptional.

A heavy ginger cat stays planted on a terrace as wind carries papers around it. The scene tests weight, expression and the contrast between stable and moving forms.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


MiniMax M3.1 Flash
A coherent decorative portrait combines layered hair, garment contours, linked trim and atmospheric scenery. These provide meaningful drawing complexity, but likeness remains limited by the frontal elongated face and altered clothing. Compressed hands, abrupt facial shading and cluttered local edges leave the portrait uneven.
Mistral Large 4
A recognizable, cleanly rendered interpretation with a restrained palette and some facial modeling. Its enlarged frontal head, simplified expression, compressed low hands and schematic landscape substantially limit likeness and construction. The smooth rendering does not reproduce the painting's nuanced anatomy, clothing or atmospheric depth.

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


MiniMax M3.1 Flash
A controlled, detailed beach illustration with expressive animals, coherent depth and accomplished foliage and accessory drawing. Its warm palette and varied contours sustain visual interest. Simplified anatomy and object volumes limit physical conviction, while reflection streaks crossing dry-looking sand and generic shadows weaken the lighting.
Mistral Large 4
A clean, appealing beach illustration with clear subject coverage, a cohesive sunset palette and expressive animal details. Bodies and accessories resolve basic construction coherently, although joints remain schematic. Layered shapes establish modest depth; generic oval shadows and flat surfaces limit physical richness. Repeated forms and sparse articulation leave room for more accomplished drawing.

An expressive, coherent cartoon clearly demonstrates the requested riding and steering relationship. Layered animal shapes, readable vehicle depth and purposeful facial details support its drawing quality. Ambiguous grips, sparse cast shadows and simplified material responses limit physical precision.
Mistral Large 4
The central interaction is clear, with recognizable animals, expressive faces and a coherent sunset composition. Clean contours and readable accessories give the cartoon polish. Simplified joints, uncertain steering attachment, shallow hull volume and limited directional lighting constrain its physical resolution.

A controlled coastal illustration with a clear pelican silhouette, detailed wheels and accomplished feather and bill drawing. Continuous body construction and grounded wheels support the scene. Ambiguous leg, pedal and steering contacts weaken the riding mechanics; approximate directional lighting and simplified materials limit physical conviction.
Mistral Large 4
A coherent, appealing pelican illustration with a continuous body silhouette, readable bicycle and grounded wheels. Simplified legs and ambiguous steering and pedal connections limit construction. Clean shapes and expressive accessories succeed, while shallow depth, modest lighting and sparse material differentiation leave substantial room for refinement.
