Liquid AI's small LFM 2.5: IFEval-50 87.8%, GSM8K-50 74.0% with zero failures, SVG 68/200 over 4 judged tests. The clock brief proved unrecoverable (reasoning exhausted a 32k budget twice), counted as failure. The spike's small-model efficiency contrast.

Artifacts

Blind-judged by nvidia/nemotron-3.5-super-vl:free: the judge saw the brief and the rendered image only, never the model name. Briefs are frozen; expand one to read it.

beach · 15/50

Brief fidelity (3/10)
Most headline elements are missing or unrecognizable, no dolphins, birds, clear sailboat, or starfish are visible, and the palm tree and reflection path are merely abstract blobs.
Construction (3/10)
The shapes are primitive and melted rather than assembled, with the palm tree resembling a green blob and the sailboat reduced to a black polygon.
Composition (4/10)
The layout places the sun and horizon acceptably but lacks coherent perspective, relative sizing, and clear foreground/midground separation.
Detail finish (2/10)
The image uses flat colors with no shading, textures, or small touches, and the elements appear unresolved at the edges.
Visual appeal (3/10)
While the warm palette is pleasant, the scene is too abstract and incomplete to read as a charming or confident beach illustration.
Brief

Draw a beautiful sunset beach scene: a large sun sitting low over the sea with a shimmering reflection path on the water, a leaning palm tree silhouette on the left, two dolphins arcing out of the waves, a small sailboat on the right, birds in the sky, sandy foreground with a starfish. Warm oranges and pinks fading to teal. Coherent perspective: distant objects smaller and hazier than near ones. Output: exactly one self-contained SVG (viewBox "0 0 800 600", no external references) inside a single ```svg fenced block. Short prose outside the fence is allowed.

clock

no svg

Brief

Draw a round wall clock face showing exactly 10:10: a circular dial with all 12 hour numerals in the correct positions, minute tick marks, an hour hand pointing just past 10, a minute hand pointing exactly at 2, and a thin second hand pointing at 6. The word DRACON in small capitals under the center. Dark rim, light face, flat vector style, centered composition. Output: exactly one self-contained SVG (viewBox "0 0 800 600", no external references) inside a single ```svg fenced block. Short prose outside the fence is allowed.

duo · 26/50

Brief fidelity (3/10)
The dog and raccoon appear on a water vehicle with sun, clouds, and shoreline, but the vehicle has a wheel instead of being a jet ski, the dog is standing rather than driving with paws on handlebars, the raccoon is not holding on, they are not leaning into a turn, and there is no clear sea spray, so headline elements are missing.
Construction (6/10)
The characters and vehicle are built from clean, assembled vector shapes without melted or duplicated parts, though the wheel on a boat is an odd construction choice.
Composition (6/10)
The layout centers the characters and vehicle on a clear horizon with sky above and water below, using speed lines to suggest motion, though the frame feels somewhat empty.
Detail finish (5/10)
The artwork uses flat colors with clean edges and small touches like clouds and speed lines, but lacks shading, textures, sea spray, and other brief-specified details.
Visual appeal (6/10)
The palette is coherent and bright with confident cartoon linework, giving the scene simple charm despite its minimalism.
Brief

Draw a comical scene: a dog driving a jet ski at speed, paws on the handlebars, with a raccoon riding behind holding on, both leaning into a turn. Sea spray behind the jet ski, sun and clouds in the sky, a distant shoreline. Both characters must be clearly doing something, not just posed side by side. Bright cartoon vector style. Output: exactly one self-contained SVG (viewBox "0 0 800 600", no external references) inside a single ```svg fenced block. Short prose outside the fence is allowed.

monalisa · 11/50

Brief fidelity (1/10)
The image lacks nearly every requested element: no seated woman, three-quarter portrait, dark dress, folded hands, enigmatic smile, parted hair, river, bridge, or mountains.
Construction (2/10)
The figure is reduced to a white circle with dot eyes and a triangle hat, with no anatomy, hands, or assembled body parts visible.
Composition (3/10)
A tiny abstract shape sits in the upper center above a large green field, with awkward cropping and no clear portrait framing.
Detail finish (2/10)
There is almost no detail, shading, or texture, and none of the small touches from the brief are present.
Visual appeal (3/10)
The muted palette is coherent but the result is too abstract and unfinished to read as a charming Mona Lisa portrait.
Brief

Redraw the Mona Lisa as a flat vector portrait, bust composition: a seated woman in three-quarter view facing the viewer, dark dress with neckline detail, hands folded at the bottom edge, soft enigmatic smile, hair parted in the middle. Behind her a hazy landscape with a winding river, a bridge on the right, and blue mountains. Muted greens, browns, and smoky blues. Output: exactly one self-contained SVG (viewBox "0 0 800 600", no external references) inside a single ```svg fenced block. Short prose outside the fence is allowed.

pelican · 16/50

Brief fidelity (4/10)
The pelican, beak pouch, long neck, and horizon are present, but the folded wing and clearly webbed feet are missing or indistinct, capping fidelity.
Construction (3/10)
The body is an oversized oval with no discernible wing structure and a leg reduced to a sliver, so parts look assembled from primitives rather than anatomically coherent.
Composition (4/10)
The bird sits left of center with a centered horizon, but excessive negative space and distorted relative sizes weaken the frame use.
Detail finish (2/10)
Flat shapes are clean and unbroken, but there is almost no shading, texture, or finishing detail beyond a single highlight and a shadow blob.
Visual appeal (3/10)
The limited blue-and-brown palette is coherent, but the abstract proportions and missing features make it more odd than charming.
Brief

Draw a brown pelican standing in side profile, facing left, full body visible: large beak with throat pouch, long neck, folded wing, webbed feet on flat ground. Simple sky background with a hint of sea on the horizon. Flat vector style, clean shapes, limited palette. Output: exactly one self-contained SVG (viewBox "0 0 800 600", no external references) inside a single ```svg fenced block. Short prose outside the fence is allowed.
