|---|---|---|---|---|
| A map of the world from memory Drawing · 10 models |
A bright, cartoon-like map with a compass rose and Great Lakes. Africa, South America, India and Australia are drawn well. Europe is weaker: Scandinavia is fused to the mainland, with the Baltic as a large enclosed lake, and the Black Sea and Caspian are plain ellipses. The eastern "PACIFIC OCEAN" label is placed across Borneo and Sulawesi rather than east of New Guinea. | 3 of 4 | 570 s | $0.101 |
| Draw a unicorn Drawing · 10 models |
A neat portrait of a unicorn's head and neck in a circle, with a gold horn, closed eye and pastel gradient mane. Cleanly drawn, but it is only a bust, so there are no legs, body or tail. | 2 of 3 | 575 s | $0.037 |
| The Starry Night, redrawn in SVG Drawing · 10 models |
A soft version with translucent sweeps of pale blue over a gradient sky, two open loops for the swirl, a thin gold crescent moon and stars drawn as little pinwheels. The cypress on the left is a smooth green flame and the village only five outlined houses and a church with a spire, so it reads as a sketch rather than a dense painting. | 2.5 of 4 | 349 s | $0.026 |
| Ball bouncing in a spinning hexagon Simulation · 10 models |
"HEXA BOUNCE": a cyan hexagon spinning fast (2.2 rad/s), with a red ball that has a spin highlight and a trail, a speed read-out and an option to make gravity turn with the hexagon. The fast walls keep throwing the ball back up, so it stays lively rather than settling, and it never got through a wall. It took over 18 minutes to answer. | 3 of 3 | 1118 s | $0.105 |
| The solar system, to scale in time Animation · 10 models |
A dark view with a control card at the top left: slower, pause, faster, reset positions and a speed slider, where 1× is one Earth year in 12 seconds. Speeds are correct (Mercury 4.15 laps per Earth year) and the buttons work. The inner labels overlap at the start ("Ear" behind "Venus"), in smaller frames the card covers part of the outer orbits including Neptune, and it needed a second try.Took 2 tries: ran out of room at 64,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 3 | 292 s | $0.159 |
| A product page from one feed row Business · 10 models |
A neat page whose sock drawing is an odd stacked tower. The add button stays greyed out ("Select a size to add to basket") until you pick a size, then shows a clear "Added to basket" line. But a "Delivery & returns" section invents "Free UK delivery on orders over £30. Free returns within 30 days.", and it adds "Colours cannot be swapped." The usable answer came on the third try, with reasoning turned off.Took 3 tries: ran out of room at 64,000 tokens; stopped mid-page at 128,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens, thinking off. | 4 of 5 | 137 s | $0.149 |
| A pricing table with a monthly/yearly switch Web page · 10 models |
A "Relay" page with serif headings, a dark "Most popular" Team card and a "−18%" tag on the Yearly button. Yearly prices are correct, with "Save 17%", "Save 18%" and the £60 and £108 annual totals. The FAQ makes up policy: yearly billing "charges for 12 months up front", you can switch plans "at any time from your workspace settings", old messages stay "searchable", and Free is "free forever". It took 13 minutes. | 3.5 of 4 | 783 s | $0.107 |
| Pelican riding a bicycle Drawing · 10 models |
A pelican in a red helmet and scarf on a teal bicycle with mudguards, on a road with hills, flowers and birds. Both webbed feet sit on pedals and a wing grips the handlebar end, with a pale pouch under the long beak. Close to the best answer, but it took over seven minutes. | 3 of 3 | 447 s | $0.045 |
| Newton's cradle Simulation · 10 models |
Large chrome balls hanging from a thin bar on a plain dark page. The physics is sound (clean transfer and a slow fade to rest), but a layout bug places the row so its last ball sits at the centre of the page, leaving the leftmost ball half off the left edge, so it swings out of view when you pull it. | 2.5 of 3 | 497 s | $0.045 |
| A newsletter email that works in email Business · 10 models |
A drawn SVG sock beside "Moss is back.", four care tips in a grid and a rust offer band, with one of the best dark versions in the set. It invents more than any other answer: "£18 a pair", "100% merino wool", "Made in Devon", a Tiverton address and "Free UK delivery over £30 · 30-day returns". It also adds gift cards, "one use per customer" and a "September's sellout". | 4 of 5 | 791 s | $0.078 |
| A landing page for a photo-book app Web page · 10 models |
A bookish page with a sample you can page through, a parcel-label price card and a copies counter that totals correctly ("Make 3 books — £57"). The offer holds throughout, but it adds "4.9 — from 2,318 books already on mantelpieces", a made-up ISBN and a reprint-or-refund promise, and the book is called both A5 hardcover and A5 landscape. It needed a second try: the first stopped at the 64,000-token limit.Took 2 tries: ran out of room at 64,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 3 | 2037 s | $0.379 |
| The jelly effect: ten frontier models, one prompt Animation · 10 models |
A glossy jelly dome that pulls into a peak when dragged, splashes droplets, wobbles and is round again within about three seconds: real soft-body physics, and a quiet, tidy page. It thinks a great deal first (64,028 tokens here), so it needed 128,000 tokens of room and 23 minutes. At low thinking effort it finished in 15 minutes, but its jelly flew off-screen and the face slid out of the body.Took 3 tries: ran out of room at 32,000 tokens; ran out of room at 64,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 3 | 1386 s | $0.385 |
| Conway's Game of Life Simulation · 10 models |
The first two tries ran out of tokens while still thinking; the third, with reasoning turned off, gave an 80 by 50 board with red cells and a dropdown of twelve patterns. The rules are right (the blinker flips and the glider glides), but the pulsar comes out as nine 3 by 3 blocks (84 cells, not 48) and never repeats, and the gun is missing its right-hand block, so it falls apart without firing gliders. A chosen pattern also stays selected, so later clicks keep stamping it instead of toggling cells.Took 3 tries: ran out of room at 64,000 tokens; ran out of room at 128,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens, thinking off. | 3 of 4 | 112 s | $0.414 |
| Flappy Bird in one file Game · 10 models |
A pixel-font version with an orange bird, green hills, a mute button and a dark Game Over box with a "PLAY AGAIN" button. It works, though our best run was 6 pipes, fewer than in most of the games; Space or the button restarts at 0. | 4 of 4 | 665 s | $0.126 |
| Chess with every rule Game · 10 models |
A tidy board with a captured-pieces tray, a material count and a highlighted move list. Every rule worked, but once the game ends the status still reads "Black to move" above "Checkmate - White wins". It was the slowest answer, at 23 minutes. | 5 of 5 | 1393 s | $0.131 |
| A category page from a product feed Business · 10 models |
An editorial "Stormline Supply" page with a large jacket hero, swatches, size chips with counts, a price slider and a basket. The filters and sorts all worked correctly. But it invents product facts: a "WATERPROOF 10,000 mm" badge, "taped seams and breathable membranes", and "New" and "Packable" tags, plus delivery terms and "Designed in Glasgow". Its first try was cut off at 64,000 tokens, and the second took 17 minutes.Took 2 tries: ran out of room at 64,000 tokens; finished at 128,000 tokens. | 3 of 4 | 1029 s | $0.294 |
| An animated SVG logo Drawing · 10 models |
An orange bird with dark navy wings crosses a pale circle with speed dashes, then an italic "KESTREL" slides in and an underline draws out into an arrow, with "EXPRESS DELIVERY" below. A well-balanced, conventional lockup; the bird's wings form an awkward cross over its body. | 4 of 4 | 711 s | $0.077 |
| An analogue clock that tells the time Drawing · 10 models |
A glowing dark blue dial with gold, white and pink hands. The hands show the right time, but the dial is numbered in minutes (12, 5, 10 ... 55) instead of hours, so 4:29 reads as the hour hand at "20" and the minute hand at "30". | 3 of 4 | 158 s | $0.013 |
