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.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.


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.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.

A small robot with an oversized angular head presents a glowing object. The scene tests character proportions, gesture and contrasting materials.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.

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.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


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.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.

A jet-ski scene pairs a canine driver with a raccoon passenger. It tests the placement and contact of interacting subjects, along with vehicle construction.
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.
Qwen3.8-27B
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.
