| Make a stained glass window of a hummingbird and flowers Animation · 3 models |
An arched window under a bright sun that follows the pointer, throwing rays and coloured pools on the floor, with tabs for each stage (cut glass, lead joins, sunlight). The glass goes in within seconds. The hummingbird is a cluster of angular green, purple and pink shapes that only reads as a bird once you know, and the panes themselves change little with the light. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 1.3 minutes, $0.16.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 2.5 of 4 | 76 s 76 s over 3 tries |

| Throw a bowl on a potter's wheel from a lump of wet clay Animation · 3 models |
Two cartoon hands centre the clay and pull up the walls, then glaze pours in from a jug. But the piece ends as a teal funnel on a narrow foot rather than a bowl, with glaze drips drawn as straight bars down the outside and a glassy ring for a rim, and the light barely moves on it. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 2.7 minutes, $0.30.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 2 of 4 | 2.7 min 2.7 min over 3 tries |

| Paint a lemon on a blue plate as a thick oil painting on canvas Animation · 3 models |
A dark streaked background, a wooden table, a blue plate with white rings and a glossy lemon with a long green leaf, mostly in place within eight seconds. The pointer drags a large glare across the plate. It looks like a rendered 3D lemon with a paint texture laid over it rather than an oil painting. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 2.6 minutes, $0.30.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 4 | 2.6 min 2.6 min over 3 tries |

| Bend a neon sign that says "open late" from glass tubing Animation · 3 models |
"open late" in thin pink and teal letters on a clear acrylic backing with stand-offs and a wire, in a dark glass shop. Each letter glows orange as it is heated, but the whole sign is bent and lit in about 12 seconds, and the pointer only catches the acrylic faintly. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 1.6 minutes, $0.27.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 4 | 97 s 97 s over 3 tries |

| Pour latte art into a cup of coffee Animation · 3 models |
Titled "Tulip", with steam rising and the jug pouring from above, but it pours a large leaf, a rosetta with a centre line and nested chevrons. Clean and pretty, and the wrong pattern. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 1.1 minutes, $0.18.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 2 of 4 | 67 s 67 s over 3 tries |

| Carve a swan out of a clear block of ice Animation · 3 models |
A chainsaw traces a line across a flat block, then a glowing translucent outline of a bird appears, with wing lines drawn inside it. It reads as a duck more than a swan, and as a drawing on glass rather than carved ice. The light shifts its glow. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 1.4 minutes, $0.20.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 2 of 4 | 83 s 83 s over 3 tries |

| Embroider a bee on a linen patch Animation · 3 models |
A cartoon bee, side on, on a cream patch with a running-stitch border: a round face with a blush, satin stripes, pale blue wings, and flowers stitched into the corners. Most of it appears in the first eight seconds. Its antennae are two loose dots above the head, and the light moves as a broad sheen across the linen rather than along the threads. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit at its listed 943,718 tokens of room, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third, with 128,000 tokens, is the answer. 1 minute, $0.20.Took 3 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 4 | 60 s 60 s over 3 tries |

| Decorate a round birthday cake with piped buttercream Animation · 3 models |
A cream cake on a plate with a border of pink shells, pink rosettes, "Happy Birthday" in pink script and scattered sprinkles. Cheerful, but the icing is flat colour with little body, and the light changes little. Our first two requests were refused before it wrote anything (by our account's credit limit, then over a thinking setting this endpoint does not take); the third finished, and a duplicate request from our script asked once more, which is the answer shown. The two answers took 2.6 minutes and cost $0.44.Took 4 tries: failed at 943,718 tokens; failed at 943,718 tokens, low thinking; finished at 128,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 4 | 86 s 2.6 min over 4 tries |

Time and cost are for the answer shown; when it took more than one try, the second line counts every try, and sorting uses every try. Thinking is the share of the answer's output tokens spent reasoning before it wrote.

8 answers needed more than one try
We ask again when an answer runs out of room, comes back empty, stops mid-page or sends no code: first as it was, then with twice the room, then with thinking off. Each try below, in order.
