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.
LongCat-2.0
Cyan lies on the sphere's facing middle rather than showing its recent interaction near the apex. Separate airborne black and elongated crimson support part of the timing sequence. Small side images and an overlapping lower image provide limited reflection ordering, but recursive room structure, nested imagery and emitter mappings are largely absent. The main sphere is smaller and higher in the frame than prescribed, and the surfaces have a soft, matte appearance.

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.
LongCat-2.0
Amber slit eyes, a pointed beak, cream feathers and gold-trimmed black clothing establish the secretive owl rogue. The head appears frontal rather than lowered, with much of the face exposed. The centered silhouette is effective, but stiff cloak geometry, shallow facial modeling and extremely dark clothing limit depth and finish. Sparse gold markings suggest the requested circuitry only loosely.

A cloaked owl with luminous eyes tests expression, fabric folds and the separation of dark 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.
LongCat-2.0
The centered portrait, slight smile, overlapping hands and distant landscape suggest Mona Lisa, but replication is weak. The face has little volume, the shoulders and torso form a narrow wedge, and the hands are fingerless ovals with unresolved wrists. Broad gray background bands provide limited depth. A bright head rim and pale hands contrast with an almost featureless dark figure.

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.
LongCat-2.0
The sunset, palms, birds and beach animals create a cheerful, readable scene. Clean silhouettes and a vivid sky establish the composition, but construction remains schematic. The right palm appears rooted in open water, shadows have limited connection to the sunset, and the sun’s reflection consists of rigid bands. Small creatures and beach equipment are recognizable but minimally developed.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash
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.
LongCat-2.0
The raccoon is recognizable and expressive, with a clear mask and striped tail. The dog's anatomy is poorly resolved, and the flattened craft lacks convincing steering and seating. Feet extend below the hull, weakening the sense of support. An appealing palette, clean shapes and decorative water effects give the illustration some polish.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash
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.
LongCat-2.0
A clearly recognizable pelican cycles through a well-composed coastal sunset. Warm colors, flowing scarf, feather contours and bicycle details give the illustration character. The legs connect to the body, but the farther foot's pedal contact and the wing's handlebar grip remain ambiguous. Clean vector shapes provide polish, with limited material texture and directional shading.
