A drawing arena compares GPT-5.6, Claude, Gemini, and Grok on the Mona Lisa

This HN-linked post points to a blog/demo that compares several frontier models by asking them to “draw” the Mona Lisa with colored pencils.

The listed models are GPT-5.6, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, and the setup appears to be an AI drawing arena rather than a standard text benchmark. The interesting part is the side-by-side multimodal output, which makes the comparison about visual instruction following and drawing quality rather than raw text reasoning.
