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.
Qwen3.6-27B
The artwork depicts a shaded sphere, distinct paint colors and a separate airborne black blob. Crimson's apex overlap does not establish its earlier interaction and transport, while cyan's recent contact remains unsupported. Horizontal centering supplies limited camera agreement, but the sphere, black blob and prominent panel have substantial placement or projection departures. A few planar echoes provide reflection evidence; isolated patches and gradients replace most of the required mirror structure.

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.
Qwen3.6-27B
An appealing decorative illustration with coordinated ornament, flowing panels and three glowing orbital lights. The arm arrangement reverses the requested sides. Uncertain neck continuity, concealed leg articulation, simplified paws, crowded chest jewelry and shallow surface modeling limit pose clarity and finish.

A small robot with an oversized angular head presents a glowing object. The scene tests character proportions, gesture and contrasting materials.
Qwen3.6-27B
A floating capybara in ornate robes tests character anatomy, layered fabric and the placement of surrounding luminous 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.
Qwen3.6-27B
The portrait loosely evokes Mona Lisa through its palette and silhouette. Readable pupils, brows and lips provide limited detail, and the torso remains continuous. The frontal elongated face, unresolved chest-level limb forms, shallow landscape and pervasive blur substantially weaken likeness, anatomy 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.


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.
Qwen3.6-27B
A recognizable sunset beach with balanced palms, clean shapes and effective warm–cool contrast. Small animals and play equipment address the brief, but rudimentary anatomy, uncertain water contacts, sparse reflections and flat materials keep the drawing basic or uneven.

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.
Qwen3.6-27B
A readable cartoon with balanced colors, clean shapes and a clearly supported raccoon. Continuous body construction and modest shading deserve credit. Rudimentary limbs, unresolved steering connections, stiff gestures and schematic water effects limit physical credibility and finish.

Subject construction and spatial relationships.


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.
Qwen3.6-27B
A lively, coherent illustration with recognizable pelican features, purposeful accessories and useful surface variation. Ambiguous neck layering, uncertain pedal engagement and an unresolved drivetrain limit construction. Aligned wheels and layered scenery establish placement, while inconsistent shadow direction and crowded overlaps constrain finish.
