| A map of the world from memory Drawing · 10 models |
A framed map titled "The World", with a caption explaining why the Pacific appears at both edges. The coasts are coarse polygons: Britain is a hexagon, Europe has no Scandinavia, the Red Sea is a wide bay, Africa meets Spain so the Mediterranean is closed, and New Guinea overlaps Australia's north coast. Greenland is a white octagon overlapping Canada. The six ocean labels are all in the right water. | 3.5 of 4 | 328 s | $0.112 |
| Draw a unicorn Drawing · 10 models |
A pale lilac unicorn with a translucent horn, a mane of upright purple spikes and a big round snout. It reads as a unicorn, but a stray pink arc sits over the mane and another over the tail, the legs are split by odd lines, and a notch is cut into the belly. The fastest and cheapest answer, at 17 seconds and $0.0099. | 2 of 3 | 17 s | $0.010 |
| The Starry Night, redrawn in SVG Drawing · 10 models |
A tangle of loose blue and gold loops fills the top half, with a crescent moon lost among them and no clear great swirl. The cypress is a thin dark stalk wrapped in vine-like curls, the village a short row of boxes with a spire squeezed between green wavy lines, and the bottom third is nearly empty apart from yellow tick marks. | 1.5 of 4 | 88 s | $0.049 |
| Ball bouncing in a spinning hexagon Simulation · 10 models |
A thin violet hexagon spinning anticlockwise at 0.9 rad/s. The wall the ball touches lights up amber, and a live read-out shows speed and position. The ball spends most of its time bouncing and rolling in the lower-right corner, where the spin carries it, and it never leaves. Drag-to-throw works, but the panel covers the hexagon's left side. | 3 of 3 | 215 s | $0.083 |
| The solar system, to scale in time Animation · 10 models |
A simple dark diagram with serif labels for all nine bodies, slower, faster, pause buttons and a speed slider in "Earth-years / min". Speeds are correct (Mercury 4.15 laps per Earth year) and each button press changes speed by about 1.8×. It does the job with the fewest extras, and was the quickest answer at 59 seconds. | 3 of 3 | 59 s | $0.026 |
| A product page from one feed row Business · 10 models |
The plainest page: flat sock shapes in a box that leaves a big empty white panel below, and a spec list taken straight from the feed, with a footer that even notes "no sale price". The blurb says "Three crew socks in one pack" before listing one pair of each colour, which mixes up socks and pairs. Adding prints "Added: Merino crew socks, 3 pack, size M. Basket: 1." under the button; there is no basket icon. The fastest answer at 36 seconds. | 4.5 of 5 | 36 s | $0.021 |
| A pricing table with a monthly/yearly switch Web page · 10 models |
A cream page with serif headings and a dark green Team card with a gold "Highlighted" badge. On yearly, a status line reads "Showing yearly prices: £5 for Team and £9 for Business" and the cards say "billed yearly". The five-question FAQ is introduced with "Answers use only the plan details above", and they do. It was the slowest of the correct answers, at 98 seconds. | 4 of 4 | 98 s | $0.044 |
| Pelican riding a bicycle Drawing · 10 models |
A white bird perched on the top tube in front of the saddle, with its wings folded and nothing touching the handlebars. The beak is a flat orange wedge with a small pouch floating loose beneath it. The bicycle itself is complete, with a saddle, pedals, handlebars and a rear rack, and both feet do reach the pedals. | 2 of 3 | 19 s | $0.008 |
| Newton's cradle Simulation · 10 models |
A warm wooden frame with double strings on each ball, on a brown background. The swing passes through cleanly and the motion has nearly died away at 20 seconds. Its first try sent no code after 712 seconds, so it needed a second, which took another 520 seconds.Took 2 tries: sent no code at 64,000 tokens; finished at 64,000 tokens. | 3 of 3 | 520 s | $0.444 |
| A newsletter email that works in email Business · 10 models |
A quiet email written like a letter, with the Moss colourway in a bordered card, three care steps and AUTUMN15 on a dark chip, and dark mode handled well. It adds product and offer details: "Crew and ankle, sizes UK 2–12", an offer that "applies to full-price pairs", and "Prices in GBP". Those terms narrow the offer the brief described. | 4 of 5 | 42 s | $0.030 |
| A landing page for a photo-book app Web page · 10 models Our pick |
A restrained, editorial page ("A photo book in a week.") built around the offer, with a day-by-day timeline from confirm to doormat and a sample book whose title and cloth colour you can change. It invents no reviews, ratings or customer counts, and it says "no extra pages sold as an upgrade". The only hedge is "Delivery is shown before you pay", which leaves postage open. | 3 of 3 | 791 s | $0.294 |
| The jelly effect: ten frontier models, one prompt Animation · 10 models |
A large glossy pink blob with bubbles inside, sitting on a plate. A click makes it squash and spring up; dragging lifts it right off the plate, and on release it drops back, stretches tall, sways and settles within about three seconds. Among the best-feeling jellies here, but it took nearly 20 minutes. | 3 of 3 | 1192 s | $0.501 |
| Conway's Game of Life Simulation · 10 models |
A cream, paper-like page with a serif title and dark cells on an 80 by 50 grid, with pill-shaped buttons and the rules spelled out ("Birth 3 · Survival 2 or 3 · Edges stay dead"). Every test passed and the gun fires gliders cleanly. The only light-themed answer, and it took 182 seconds. | 4 of 4 | 182 s | $0.078 |
| Flappy Bird in one file Game · 10 models |
A plain version with flat clouds and a hatched ground; a crash dims the screen under "Game over", the score and a yellow Restart button. Flapping, pipes and scoring work (8 pipes on our best run). Space restarts with the bird already falling and no ready pause, so it can hit the ground before you react, and tapping the game after a crash does nothing. | 4 of 4 | 33 s | $0.019 |
| Chess with every rule Game · 10 models |
A dark wooden board with "Black" and "White" bars above and below it, a status box ("White to move", "Checkmate - White wins"), a move list, undo and flip. All four sequences played correctly, and Scholar's mate dims the board behind a "Checkmate / White wins" box. It sent code only on its third try, after two tries with no code; that third try took 568 seconds and cost $0.29.Took 3 tries: sent no code at 64,000 tokens; sent no code at 64,000 tokens; finished at 64,000 tokens. | 5 of 5 | 568 s | $0.631 |
| A category page from a product feed Business · 10 models |
Grok sent no code on its first three tries, and the fourth failed with an API error. The fifth try produced a "Bracken Outfitters" page, but its script stops with an error as it loads. The filter headings are empty, no jackets appear, and it still says "Showing 12 of 12".Took 5 tries: sent no code at 64,000 tokens; sent no code at 64,000 tokens; sent no code at 128,000 tokens; failed at 128,000 tokens, thinking off; finished at 64,000 tokens. | 0 of 4 | 284 s | $0.172 |
| An animated SVG logo Drawing · 10 models |
An app-icon badge in which a bird lands, then "KESTREL" is drawn on stroke by stroke in a rounded monoline with a gold swoosh and "PRIORITY DELIVERY" in green. The word is large and clear, but the bird is a round white shape with a yellow beak that reads more as a chick or a gull than a falcon. | 4 of 4 | 471 s | $0.137 |
| An analogue clock that tells the time Drawing · 10 models |
A plain white dial with black stick hands, a thin red second hand and a dense ring of minute ticks. The time is right, but the long hour ticks run straight through the numerals, so 9, 3, 4 and 8 are struck through. The fastest answer, at 23 seconds. | 3.5 of 4 | 23 s | $0.013 |
