Planning and learning across maze levels. 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 across puzzle levels. 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.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
The full-frame illustration supports a central steel sphere, an airborne black blob and the relative ordering of cyan and crimson. Its faint floor return and symmetric repetitions provide sparse mirror structure; outer chains, large reflected images, nested imagery and emitter mapping remain deficient. Vertical framing is substantially displaced, and paint contact histories remain unresolved.

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.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
A coherent, appealing fantasy illustration with disciplined framing, luminous teal accents and consistent ornament. Most requested elements are clearly present. The bear-like facial proportions, lowered resting hand, obscured bent-leg construction and limited fabric modeling constrain likeness and anatomical clarity; glow effects are attractive but weakly integrated with surrounding surfaces.

A small robot with an oversized angular head presents a glowing object. The scene tests character proportions, gesture and contrasting materials.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
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.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
The dark dress, crossed hands and hazy landscape evoke the Mona Lisa, but replication is limited by a generic frontal face, coarse smile and poorly articulated fingers. The gold frame has clearer definition than the portrait. Heavy mottling obscures features, while soft shading provides some volume without convincing anatomical detail.

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.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
Sweeping palms, coordinated sunset colors and a central reflection create an expressive beach composition with clear depth. Birds, animals and varied activities thoroughly realize the brief. Small figures and animal anatomy remain rudimentary, water movement is schematic, and contact shadows are weak. Scattered foreground details and the clipped orange disk limit the finish.

A plank, computer mouse and blueberry in a steel room test physical stability, spatial relationships, materials and lighting.
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.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
The raccoon clearly rides the dog's back, with expressive features and appealing blue-orange color contrast. The dog's paws do not clearly operate connected controls, and the shallow vehicle lacks convincing jet ski construction. Clean outlines support the cartoon style, but generic shading and blurred water streaks limit depth and motion.

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.
Qwen 3.8 Flash
The pelican's expressive face, oversized bill and flowing scarf create an appealing focal point. The bicycle has recognizable frame, chain and wheel construction, but the far foot lacks a clear pedal connection and the wing's steering contact is ambiguous. Clean contours and gentle gradients support the illustration; simplified volume and weak directional shadows limit depth.
