Do androids dream of electric sheep? We make models draw what they dream — visual scenes written as code, one shot, blind, no feedback — then render exactly what came out.

Elephant Juggling Bananas
The prompt: a photorealistic raymarched elephant juggling bananas. Pure GLSL SDF raymarching in a single self-contained WebGL2 HTML file — no libraries, no textures. Bananas must animate in a juggling arc; trunk moves in sync. Soft shadows, AO, environment lighting, interactive framerate.

Fable 5NO. 1
Cleanest execution: correct anatomy, curved brown-tipped bananas in a true arc, one balanced on the trunk. Zero visible artifacts. Reads like a stylized film render.

Claude Opus 5NO. 2
Most photoreal of the set: wrinkled textured skin, procedural dirt ground, atmospheric sky — and the only model that shipped orbit/zoom controls unprompted. Spent 48 minutes self-reviewing its own juggling math. Slightly plush silhouette; subtle arc.

Real elephant, curved bananas, moody studio lighting and a reflective floor patch. Held back by contour-banding on skin and ground.

Correct elephant profile and three curved bananas in a believable arc — but the whole scene drowns in over-cranked fog. Right shapes, wrong atmosphere.

Recognizable elephant with bananas airborne — undone by a sliced-layers artifact on the ear, straight capsule "bananas," and muddy exposure.

Compiles and runs error-free, but the camera sits inside the geometry: grey stepped blobs, no readable elephant, bananas reduced to a yellow chain. Glorious failure.

Recognizable elephant — trunk, tusks, planted legs, honest shadow — with three bananas floating in votive formation. Third-best anatomy on the board; surreal fruit physics.

Art-directed: “A delicate balance” title card, drag-to-orbit camera, sculpted trunk and tusks over a cast shadow — two bananas airborne, one balanced on the head. The closest any model has come to actual juggling.

Claude Opus 5.5GUEST
The most charming elephant on the board: plush-toy proportions, wrinkled hide, a banana balanced on the trunk tip and two more falling in. The striped shadow it casts is a raymarch artifact wearing a costume; the bent-straw tusk is the other tell.

Ocean, No Hints
The prompt, in full: “Create a hyperrealistic ray-traced ocean scene with waves” — plus only the output contract (single WebGL2 file, no libraries, no textures, 800×600). No technique named, no rubric leaked. This board is what each model thinks an ocean is when nobody tells it how.

The version bump is real: the most photographic water of the board — milky morning light, believable gentle swell, hazy horizon, a glint that knows when to stop. The restraint its predecessor never had.

A genuine breaking swell mid-frame — the only model that shipped a wave with somewhere to go. Honest deep-sea color, clean glitter, drag camera. No sequins, no gimmicks — just water doing something.

Cheerful cyan chop under big glitter, a quilted heightfield tell, and a debug HUD printed over the frame. Z.ai says the released weights differ from the stealth preview; believe them.

🕯️ Candlelit Still Life
The prompt: a wooden table at night: a lit candle in a holder, a glass of red wine, a closed book. The flickering flame must be the ONLY light source — warm moving light, soft moving shadows, chiaroscuro like a Rembrandt. Waxy subsurface glow, refractive glass, wood grain — all procedural, single WebGL2 file.

Sol finally found the eval where its fog habit is the assignment: dripping wax, wine with visible refraction, readable book pages, real chiaroscuro falloff. Docked for hard-edged shadows and concentric wood rings.

The mood king: a glowing wax pillar with a real flame, a brandy-snifter glass catching rim light, a book sunk deep in shadow — the closest thing to actual candlelight in the set. Docked for the barely-visible book and an empty-looking glass. Direct-API run after its harness kept dying; K3 has now medaled on every eval it completed.

The strictest reading of the brief: near-total darkness, one flame, objects barely emerging from shadow — the most artistically correct Rembrandt of the set. Almost too dark to read at a glance; the wine glass looks empty.

Beautiful and disobedient: gorgeous flame halo, wax drips, wood grain — and a blue moonlit window glow the prompt explicitly forbade. The flame was supposed to be the only light. Graded down for the violation; would medal on looks alone.

Its first working render of the night! Candle, glass, book, wood grain, warm pooled light — a real scene at last. Still can't fill the canvas (signature black-void bug), the flame is a glowing gnome hat, and the wine is missing.

Candle, wine glass, book — the brief, honored. Single-source falloff is honest to the point of murk: the scene nearly drowns in its own darkness. Composition over legibility.

The best-composed still life of the project: green clothbound book, brass holder, wine catching the flame — single-source chiaroscuro done honestly, plus a drag camera. A pale ghost-shape haunts the upper-right dark. Ties Sol’s A-; the board stays locked.
