"Drawing" the Mona Lisa with GPT-5.6, Claude, Gemini, and Grok
TryAI 2 months ago 58
Researchers built a drawing arena where vision models use colored-pencil tools to reproduce target images like the Mona Lisa or create original drawings from text prompts. GPT-5.6 Sol cost $7.74 to draw seven images with high quality, while Claude Fable 5 cost $160 for lower-quality output despite reviewing its work 27 times. Models plateau early and actually degrade their drawings through excessive revision, showing that more self-review doesn't improve final results.
