GPT-4o
Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Claude Opus 4 (2025-05-14) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission demonstrates a stronger adherence to the prompt with a clear depiction of both a snail and a cheetah racing under a disco ball.

    The simpler and more cohesive composition effectively conveys the whimsical concept.

    While Player 2's submission is creative, the representation of the snail and cheetah is less clear, and the disco ball's execution is less visually engaging compared to Player 1's colorful and dynamic design.

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.
