new state of the art turing test: drawing a rubik's cube

cube.md

a rubik's cube looks like this

all the possible moves will change the position of the cubies relative to each other, but none will change which pieces the stickers are attached to. so you always have:

• 6 centres with 1 sticker each, all 6 with different colours
• 12 edges with 2 stickers each, each with 2 different adjacent colours (4 edges for each of the 6 colours)
• 8 corners with 3 stickers each, each with 3 different adjacent colours (4 corners for each of the 6 colours)

now let's ask some ai to draw a cube, with images generation wherever possible or with svg if text only

chatgpt

claude

deepseek

grok

gemini

perplexity

mistral

llama

there's also a specific standard order for the colours (e.g. in the western style you have blue-orange-yellow in a clockwise fashion), but i'm happy to consider any legal configuration in whatever colour scheme a success

Mind including which model from each was used?

@bmarshallk the test was done shortly before posting, so whatever the latest models are at the moment

chatgpt whatever the free tier is with the latest image generation thingy that can do studio ghibli images (i think it's chatgpt4-turbo?)
claude 3.7
deepseek r1
grok 3
gemini 2.5 pro
perplexity whatever the free tier is (claims to be llama 3.1 405B when asked but maybe it has some extra smarts idk)
mistral le chat (i think there's only one version at the moment?)
llama whatever the free tier is on meta.ai

I guess kudos to chatgpt for knowing what a cube is at least?
