GPT-4o
Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is GPT-4.1 (2025-04-14) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's image demonstrates a higher level of detail, creativity, and technical quality.

    The melting clock is rendered with fluidity and depth, and the sunset ambiance is visually engaging.

    In contrast, Player 2's image is simpler and lacks the same level of refinement and adherence to the melting effect of the clock described in the prompt.

These metrics analyze technical aspects of both SVG drawings. Look for differences that might explain the judge's decision. Use the "View Code" button above to see the SVG code for each drawing.

How does judging work?

SVG drawings are converted to static PNG images for evaluation. The AI judge receives the original prompt and both images, then determines which drawing better fulfills the evaluation criteria without seeing animations, interactivity, or SVG code.
